■
When using the ice maker for the first
time, do not consume the ice cubes
produced during the first 6 hours.
■
If the water dispenser (ice or cold wa-
ter) has not been in use for at least
a week, replace the entire water sup-
ply (see Point 4 in Chapter "Removing
cold water and ice“ on page GB-24).
Dispose of the water used to rinse the
system.
■
Replace the filter on a regular basis
(after 6 months maximum).
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Always adhere to the prescribed am-
bient temperature (see “Climate cat-
egories” line on page GB-45).
■
Do not place any appliances on top
of the refrigerator that emanate heat
(microwave, toaster, etc.).
Risk of injury from frozen goods!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. There is a risk of
burns caused by low temperatures.
■
The food and the inside walls of the
freezer compartment have a very low
temperature. Never touch them with
wet hands. This can cause injury to
the skin. Skin damage can occur even
with dry skin.
■
Do not put ice cubes, crushed ice or
ice lollies straight into your mouth
from the freezer compartment.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
If the appliance has been transported
horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may make its way into the cool-
ing circuit.
■
Only transport the appliance in a ver-
tical position, where possible.
■
Allow the cooling unit to stand up-
right for 2 hours before start-up. The
lubricant will flow back into the com-
pressor during this time.
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
Do not pull or lift the device by the
doors or door handles.
■
The appliance must only be placed
on a level and firm surface. The sur-
face must be strong enough to sup-
port the appliance’s weight when ful-
ly laden.

Do not use sharp or pointed objects
to unpack it.
■
Do not place objects on the bar com-
partment door.
■
Do not exceed the maximum weight
limit of 3 kg in the bar compartment.

Do not use any electrical parts inside
the appliance that do not conform to
the manufacturer’s recommended
design.

Do not use electrical appliances in-
side the food storage compartments
of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
