Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that
the rating on the data plate
corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid risk of damage to the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed
and connected in accordance with
these operating and installation
instructions.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for such
usage subject to a risk assessment of
the installation being carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
persons.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held
responsible.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– the plug has been withdrawn.
Do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug.
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
Use
Never handle frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to
the frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
Do not take ice cubes out with your
bare hands and never place ice
cubes or ice lollies in your mouth
straight from the freezer compartment.
The very low temperature of the frozen
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the
lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food.
Defrosted food should be used as
quickly as possible as food soon loses
its nutritional value and goes off.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Switching on
thermostats may produce sparks which
could present a fire hazard.
