ever possible, the back of the appliance should be
close to a wall but leaving the required distance for
ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is
carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance and
unplug it.
ª
Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out.
ª
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freez-
er as it creates pressure on the container, which
may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the
appliance.
ª
The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in
this appliance contain channels through which the
refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this
would cause substantial damage to the appliance
and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP IN-
STRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO
circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lin-
ing or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw,
when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost instruc-
tions.

The appliance should be left for 2 hours after instal-
lation before it is turned on in order to allow the re-
frigerant to settle.

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when
moving it.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions
or “frost/freezer burns”.

Ice lollies can cause “frost/freezer burns” if con-
sumed straight from the freezer.
ª
Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.
ª
Under no circumstances should you attempt to re-
pair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Refer to your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre and always insist on genuine spare
parts.
