Safety of children and other vulnerable persons
•
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children without supervision.
•
Keep all packaging away from children as there is risk of suffocation.
•
Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
•
If you are discarding the appliance, pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent children playing from suffering
an electric shock or from closing themselves inside it.
•
If this appliance, featuring a magnetic door seals, is to replace an older appliance having a spring
lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make the spring lock unusable before you discard the old
appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.
•
Keep the appliance and its power cable out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
•
Before you throw away your old wine cooler: take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
