AEG ARCTIS Operating Instructions Manual page 9

Safety
• Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove
plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap
or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children
lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place
themselves into other life-endangering situations.
• Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with house-
hold appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do
not allow children to play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through
contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers
with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges
for cigarette lighters etc. in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment.
They can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the
contents contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine,
champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits
with high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compart-
ment.
• Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer com-
partment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.
• Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Before cleaning the appliance always pull the mains plug out or switch
off/disengage the household fuse.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not
pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
• If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the
section "What to do if..." in these operating instruction. If the in-
structions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any
further work on your own.
• Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by trained personnel.
Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial
danger. Please contact your dealer or our customer service depart-
ment for repairs.
