Important
•
If you've bought this appliance to replace an old
one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened
from inside make sure that the lock is broken.
This will make it impossible for the children to
lock themselves inside the appliance and
suffocate.
•
Ensure that the appliance is correctly
connected to the mains supply (see Connection
to the Mains Supply).
•
Do not touch the inside of the freezer or frozen
food with wet hands because the skin might
stick to the cold surfaces.
•
Do not freeze bottled drinks, especially not fizzy
ones such as mineral water, sparkling wine,
beer, cola. This is dangerous and can cause
the bottle to crack or even explode.
•
Never try to eat food while it is still frozen – you
can damage your mouth.
•
Carefully check the foods for colour and smell
and if you are in doubt about their quality, throw
them away because they may be spoiled and
therefore dangerous to eat.
•
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
before repairing (only a qualified technician
should repair it) and before cleaning.
•
Use only tools recommended by the
manufacturer.
•
Please be careful not to damage the
refrigeration system at the rear of the freezer
when moving it. .
•
When defrosting the freezer, follow the
instructions and do not try to remove the ice
with sharp objects such as a knife or by using
excessive heat (i.e. hairdryer etc). This may
cause damage to the freezer which is not
covered by the guarantee.
•
Sometimes the part of the freezer near the door
may feel warm. This is because there is a
heating element around the edge of the
doorway which prevents the door seal freezing
on to the body of the freezer.
•
The rating plate is inside the appliance.
Storage Time During Power
Supply Interruption
In case of a power cut or other failure, do not
open the appliance, particularly the freezer. If the
power cut extends over a longer period of time
(15 hours depending on the model) take the food
out of the freezer and use it. Many foods can be
cooked and then subsequently refrozen but do
not let food thaw out and then refreeze without
cooking.
