Page GB-8
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Abide by the specifi ed ambient tem-
perature (see “climate category” line
on page GB-23).
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
If the refrigerator has been carried on
its side, lubricant from the compressor
may have got into the refrigeration
circuit.
■
If possible, do not tilt the refrigerator
into a horizontal position.
■
Allow the refrigerator to stand
upright for 2 hours before starting it
up. The lubricant will flow back into
the compressor during this time.
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
Do not use the door to pull or lift the
appliance.
■
The appliance must only be placed
on a level and fi rm surface. The sur-
face must be strong enough to sup-
port the appliance’s weight when ful-
ly laden.
■
Do not use sharp or pointed objects
to unpack it.
■
When unpacking the appliance, nev-
er damage the insulation material on
the back of the appliance.
■
Do not use any electrical parts inside
the appliance that do not conform to
the manufacturer’s recommended
design.
■
Do not use any mechanical devices or
means other than those recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
■
The interior light must only be used
to illuminate the interior of the appli-
ance. It is not suitable for lighting a
room.
■
Do not store glass or metal contain-
ers containing water, lemonade, beer
etc. Water expands when frozen and
can burst the container.
■
Defrost the appliance in a timely
manner, before it forms a layer of ice
and frost of more than 4 mm. Exces-
sive ice formation increases power
consumption and the freezer com-
partment door may no longer close
tightly.
■
Do not use any means other than
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting. For ex-
ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open fl ame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
are scratch and heat-sensitive and
can melt.
■
When cleaning, please note:
–
Never use harsh, granular, soda,
acid, solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These attack the plastic
surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with
a neutral pH are recommended.
–
Door seals and plastic parts are sen-
sitive to oil and grease. Remove con-
taminants as quickly as possible.
–
Only use soft cloths.
■
Wait 5 minutes after switching off.
Only then switch the appliance on
again.
■
Only use original accessories.
