ENGLISH 3

In the interest of your safety and to ensure

they remain with the appliance if it is moved
or sold, so that everyone using it through
its life will be properly informed on appli­ance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep the
precautions of these user's instructions as
the manufacturer is not responsible for
damages caused by omission.

CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE
PEOPLE SAFETY

• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the ap­pliance by a person responsible for their

shock or to close themselves into it.

• If this appliance featuring magnetic door
seals is to replace an older appliance
having a spring lock (latch) on the door
