Before you start

• Before you plug the appliance into the mains, clean
the inside of the appliance using warm water and
bicarbonate of soda, then dry thoroughly.

• Please leave the appliance to stand for at least six
hours. This will allow the cooling system to settle
following transportation.

• Check that no parts of the appliance are damaged,
especially parts of the cooling system, pipes or
leads. If damage has occurred, DO NOT install the
appliance, you should contact a qualified service
engineer or return the appliance to its place of
purchase.

• The appliance must be connected to the power
supply safely. Loose connections, broken plugs and
bare wires are a safety hazard. Make sure that all
connections are sound.

• Before undertaking any routine maintenance or minor
repairs, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply. This includes cleaning, defrosting and
changing light bulbs.

• Do not touch cold surfaces of the appliance while
it is in use as this will cause hands to stick to them
leading to freezer burns.

• When moving the appliance take care not to damage
the leads, pipes or condenser unit. Should these
parts become damaged, contact a qualified service
engineer.

• Effervescent liquids (fizzy drinks) should never be
frozen. These liquids expand during freezing and
this may lead to the bottles/containers shattering or
exploding.

• Foods that are intended to be defrosted or cooked
first e.g. breads, meats etc., must not be eaten in
their frozen state.

• If food looks or smells strange, do not attempt to
eat it. If in doubt throw it away. Spoiled food can be
harmful to your health.
