For your safety
Page GB-08
■
Consume thawed and defrosted
foods immediately, do not refreeze.
■
After a possible power failure, check
whether the stored foodstuffs are still
edible.
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.
■
Observe the specified ambient tem-
perature (see “climate category” line
on Page GB-28).
Risk of injury from frozen goods!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. There is a risk of
burns caused by low temperatures.
■
The food and the inside walls of the
freezer compartment have a very low
temperature. Never touch them with
wet hands. This can cause injury to
the skin. Skin damage can occur even
with dry skin.
■
Do not put ice cubes or ice cream
straight into your mouth from the
freezer compartment.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
If the cooling unit has been transported
horizontally, lubricant from the
compressor may get into the cooling
circuit.
■
If possible, do not tilt the cooling
appliance horizontally.
■
Allow the cooling unit to stand
upright for 2 hours before start-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 firm 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-
