When replacing old appliances, make sure that you
have disabled any locking mechanisms before disposal
– it may even be best to remove the appliance door
completely to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to the power supply
safely. Loose connections, broken plugs and bare wires
are a safety hazard. Make sure that all connections are
sound.
•
Before undertaking any routine maintenance or minor
repairs, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply.
• DO NOT
touch cold surfaces of the appliance while it is
in use as this will cause hands to stick to them leading
to freezer burns.
•
When moving the appliance take care not to damage
the leads, pipes or condenser unit. Should these parts
become damaged, contact a qualified service engineer.
• Effervescent liquids (fizzy drinks) should never be
frozen. These liquids expand during freezing and
this may lead to the bottles/containers shattering or
exploding.
•
Foods that are intended to be defrosted or cooked first,
such as breads or meats, must not be eaten in their
frozen state.
•
If food looks or smells strange, do not attempt to eat it.
If in doubt throw it away. Spoiled food can be harmful to
your health.
•
Never use sharp, metal implements to scrape ice off the
surface of this appliance. Only use implements, which
are fit for this purpose (such as plastic scrapers) and use
carefully to avoid damaging the lining of the appliance.
• The cooling system contains refrigerant and oils, all of
which are harmful to health if leaked. Should leakage
occur, disconnect the appliance and ventilate the room
it is installed in. Take care to ensure that you do not get
any coolant near to, or in, your eyes. Contact a service
engineer or arrange to have the appliance removed.
