GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Keep air vents open. No glass bottles in the freezer
compartments. The bottles might
burst.
Ice cubes and ice lollies straight out
of the freezer are too cold for
consuming.
They may cause ‘cold’ burns. Do not allow children to play or hide
in the refrigerator to prevent the risk
of trapping and suffocation.
Always unplug before cleaning and
servicing. If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or
a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard.
