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 be acquainted with 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 authorized

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 The inner lining of the appliance consists of

channels through which the refrigerant passes. If
these should be punctured this would damage the
appliance beyond repair and cause food loss.
DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to
scrape off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by
using the scraper provided. Under no
circumstances should solid ice be forced off the
liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when
defrosting the appliance. See defrost instructions.

ª Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in
damage to the appliance.

ª This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken

when moving it.

ª Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed

straight from the appliance.

ª Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons
may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning.
Refer to your local Service Centre, and always
insist on genuine spare parts.

ª The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used specifically for the storage of
edible foodstuffs only.

ª Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has

been thawed out.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.

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
component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.

ª Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Wherever possible the back of the product should
be against a wall.

ª Before any cleaning or maintenance work is

carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the
appliance.

ª If the appliance has been transported

horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in
the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It
is advisable to wait at least two hours before
connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow
back in the compressor.
