Note on use
Do not use any electrical appliances
inside the refrigerator and/or freezer
compartment.
Strong alcohol should only be stored
tightly sealed and standing upright. Do
not store explosive materials or aerosols
in the appliance. Danger of explosion!
This appliance is free from CFCs and
FCs, and contains small quantities of the
environmentally friendly but flammable
refrigerant isobutane (R600a). When
handling the appliance, it is important to
ensure that the cold circuit is not
damaged. Leaking refrigerant can catch
fire. In the event of damage, avoid using
any type of open flame and sources of
ignition, as isobutane is flammable.
Thoroughly ventilate the room for a few
minutes. Switch off the appliance and
disconnect the electrical supply. Do not
switch on any sources of energy. Inform
Customer Services.
Caution: Risk of injury!
Be careful not to put fingers in the door
hinges, as there is a risk of injury if the
appliance door is moved. Particular care
should be taken when children are
around.
Before cleaning, disconnect the electrical
supply by pulling out the mains plug or
switching off the fuse. Never pull the
mains plug out of the mains socket by
the cable or with wet hands. Hold the
mains plug and pull it straight out of the
socket.
Prevent skin from coming into contact
with frozen food for extended periods.
Never consume frozen food or ice cubes
straight from the appliance, as this
creates a risk of burns.
Do not place beverage bottles/cans in
the freezer compartment. Containers with
highly carbonated beverages inside can
burst if they are frozen.
Do not overload the door trays or the
freezer/vegetable drawers.
Caution: Risk to life!
Packaging materials such as plastic film
and polystyrene can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep
packaging material away from children.
Disconnect the appliance electricity
supply when performing maintenance;
this includes replacing lights (if the
operating instructions describe how to
remove them). To do this, remove the
screw fuses from the holders completely
and switch off the circuit breaker or
disconnect the mains plug.
How to avoid damaging the
appliance
Only use water or a mild alkaline solution
when cleaning the appliance.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects when removing layers of ice or
frozen-on food.
Do not use mechanical or chemical
means of accelerating defrosting.
Store oil and grease in closed upright
containers. They must not come into
contact with the plastic parts or the door
seal.
