Do not block the ventilation gaps in

the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.

~

The appliance is designed for use

within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range
for your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
can lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.

~

Do not use a steam-cleaning

appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.

Disposal of your old freezer

~

Before disposing of an old

appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.

~

Be careful not to damage any part of

the pipework whilst awaiting disposal,
e.g. by

– puncturing the refrigerant channels

int he evaporator, e.g. by

– bending any pipework.

– scratching the surface coating.

Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
