IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and
leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner
can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information.

This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing
or using the appliance.

when moving it.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt
to modify this product in any way.

be replaced by a special cable available from your
local Service Force Centre.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.

• Parts which heat up should not be exposed. When­ever possible, the back of the appliance should be
close to a wall but leaving the required distance for
ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

• The appliance should be left for 2 hours after
installation before it is turned on, in order to allow
the refrigerant to settle.

Child Safety

• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or
play with the product.

• Keep all packaging well away from children.

General Safety

• This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorized
technicians.

• T ake utmost care when handling your appliance
so as not to cause any damages to the cooling
unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

• The appliance must not be located close to
cookers, radiators or boilers.

• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.

• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as
ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating
appliances.

During Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only,
specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs.

• Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out.

• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer.

• Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions
or frost/freezer burns.

• Ice lollies can cause ‘frost/freezer burns’ if
consumed straight from the freezer.

• Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

• The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in
this appliance contain channels through which the
refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this will
cause substantial damage to the appliance and
result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP
INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under
NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the
lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to
thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost
Instructions.
