~
must only be replaced by a service
technician authorised by the
manufacturer to protect the user from
danger.
This appliance contains the coolant
~
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which
is environmentally friendly. Although it
is flammable, it does not damage the
ozone layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. The use of this
coolant has, however, led to a slight

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Never handle frozen food with wet
~
hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
Do not take ice cubes out with your
~
bare hands and never place ice cubes
or ice lollies in your mouth straight from
the freezer.
The very low temperature of the frozen
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the
lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze thawed or partially
~
thawed food.
Defrosted food should be used up as
quickly as possible as food soon loses
it nutritional value and goes off.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
Do not store explosive materials in
~
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Thermostats switching on may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard. Flammable compounds
could explode.
Do not operate any electrical
~
equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparking and explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
~
percentage proof, make sure it is tightly
closed and stored upright. Danger of
explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles
~
containing carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer
section. The cans or bottles could
explode. Danger of injury and damage
to the appliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
~
freezer section, make sure bottles are
not left in for more than one hour,
otherwise they could burst, causing
injury or damage.
Observe the "use-by" dates given on
~
food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several
factors, including the freshness and
quality of the food as well as the
temperature at which it is stored. Follow
the instructions given on the food
manufacturer's packaging regarding
storage conditions and "use-by" dates.
Do not use sharp edged objects to
~
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
Never place electric heaters or
~
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use defrosting sprays or
~
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
~
door seals, as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
If storing food which contains a lot of
~
fat or oil, make sure that it does not
come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress
cracks.
Do not block the ventilation gap in
~
the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
This appliance is designed for use
~
within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range
for your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
can lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
Never use a steam-cleaning
~
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of an old
~
appliance, first make the door latches
or locks unusable.
This way you will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
Be careful not to damage any part of
~
the pipework whilst awaiting disposal,
e.g. by
– puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator.
– bending any pipework.
– scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
