Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!
Make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
Often children cannot recognize the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let children play with the appliance!

Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator and/or freezer. Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator and/or freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
