Warning and Safety instructions
~
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour; otherwise they
could burst, causing injury and
damage.
~
Observe the "use-by" dates given on
food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several
factors, including the freshness and
quality of the food as well as the
temperature at which it is stored.
Follow the instructions given on the
food manufacturer's packaging
regarding storage conditions and
"use-by" dates.
~
Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
~
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
~
Never use a steam cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

~
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is tightly
closed and stored upright in the
refrigerator section.
Danger of explosion!
~
To avoid the risk of any potential
illness, do not deactivate the reminder
to change the water filter.
~
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals, as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
~
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil, make sure that it does not
come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress
cracks.
~
Do not cover or block the air vents in
the plinth as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
~
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range
for your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
can lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
