~
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers.
They may cause a build-up of
potentially explosive gasses or contain
substances that can damage the
plastic or that could pose a danger to
health.
~
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals.
They can cause the seals to deteriorate
over time.
~
If you store fatty or oily foods in the
appliance or the appliance door, make
sure that no oil or grease leaks onto the
plastic parts of the appliance.
This can cause the plastic to crack and
break.
~
Do not block the ventilation slits,
because this interferes with proper air
supply to the appliance. This in turn
causes increased electricity
consumption and may also result in
damage to appliance parts.
~
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (room
temperature range) and should not be
used outside this range. The climate
range for your appliance is printed on
the data plate inside the appliance.
If the room temperature is cold, this will
cause the appliance to switch off for
longer periods of time, with the result
that it cannot maintain the required
internal temperature.
~
Never use a steam cleaner to
defrost or clean the appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator / freezer
~
Before disposing of your old
fridge/freezer, first make the door latch
or lock unusable.
This will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
~
Be careful not to damage any part of
the cooling system, for example by
– puncturing the coolant channels in
the evaporator.
– kinking any pipework.
– scratching the surface coating.
Caution: Splashes of coolant can
damage the eyes.
The manufacturer will not be held liable
for damage caused by failure to comply
with these "Warning and Safety
Instructions".
