~
Do not operate any electrical
devices in the appliance (soft ice
cream maker, for example). This could
cause sparking. Danger of explosion!
~
High proof alcohol should be stored
upright, in tightly closed bottles in the
refrigerator section. Danger of
explosion!
~
Do not store cans or bottles in the
freezer that contain carbonated
beverages or liquids that could freeze.
The cans or bottles could explode.
Danger of injury, and danger of
appliance damage!
~
Bottles that are put in the freezer for
quick cooling must be removed within
one hour. Otherwise, they could burst.
Danger of injury, and danger of
appliance damage!
~
Eating food past the expiry date can
cause food poisoning. Shelf life
depends on many factors, including the
quality of the food, how fresh it is, and
the storage temperature. Always
observe the manufacturer’s
recommended storage conditions and
expiry dates.
~
Never use a sharp-edged object to
– remove frost or ice,
– or to free frozen items or ice trays
from the freezer.
This will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~
Never place candles or electric
heaters in the appliance to defrost it.
This can damage the plastic parts.
~
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers. They may contain substances
that can damage the plastic, or that
could cause a build-up of potentially
explosive gasses and pose a danger to
health.
~
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals, because they can cause
the seals to deteriorate over time.
~
If you store oily or greasy foods in
the appliance, make sure that no oil or
grease spills onto the plastic parts. 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 demand for
electricity, and may also result in
damage to appliance parts.
~
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain temperature range
(room temperature), and should not be
used outside this range. The climate
range for your appliance is printed on
the information plate inside the
appliance. If the room temperature is
too 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.
Pressurized steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
