BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Your new appliance is a combined fridge freezer
exclusively for domestic use.

The freezer compartment can be
used to deep freeze fresh and cooked food,
make ice cubes, and for the storage of frozen
and deep-frozen food; defrosting the freezer is

a manual procedure. The refrigerator
compartment, which has an automatic defrost

feature, is used for the storage of fresh food and
beverages.

To get the most out of your new appliance,
read the user handbook thoroughly. The
handbook contains a description of the
appliance and useful tips for storing food.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

2. Product

The appliance is made from recyclable materials
and must be scrapped in accordance with local
waste disposal regulations.

Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the
power cord. The appliance must be consigned to

storing fresh food and beverages and use the

taking them out of the freezer compartment - risk
of “cold” burns.

• Do not allow children to play or hide inside the
