WARNINGS
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 SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE IN ORDER THAT THE NEW OWNER CAN
GET TO KNOW THE FUNCTIONING OF THE APPLIANCE AND THE RELEVANT WARNINGS.
THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. YOU MUST READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE.
ª
This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the product.
ª Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
ª This product should be serviced by an authorised
Tricity Bendix Service Centre, and only genuine
spare parts should be used.
ª It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify
this product in any way.
ª Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
ª Tricity Bendix domestic refrigerators, freezers and
fridge/freezers are designed to be used specifically
for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
ª The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in
this appliance contain channels through which the
refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this would
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.
ª The appliance should be left for 2 hours after instal-
lation before it is turned on in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.
ª This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when
moving it.
ª Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions
or “frost/freezer burns”.
ª Ice lollies can cause “frost/freezer burns” if con-
sumed straight from the freezer.
ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to r elevant instructions.
ª Under no circumstances should you attempt to re-
pair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Refer to your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre and always insist on genuine spare
parts.
ª There are working parts in this product which heat
up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation
as a failure to do this will result in possible food
loss. See installation instructions.
ª Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wher-
ever 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.
ª Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is
carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance and
unplug it.
ª Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out.
ª Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freez-
er as it creates pressure on the container, which
may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the
appliance.
