IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
~
Persons who lack physical, sensory
or mental abilities, or experience with
the machine should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a
responsible person.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in, on or near the
appliance, especially in the door hinge
area.
~
After your freezer is in operation, do
not touch the cold surfaces in the
freezer compartment, particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
~
Do not refreeze frozen foods which
have thawed completely.

Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
~

causing irreversible damage to the

~
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
~
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal, as these will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous with
time.
~
Do not block the ventilation gaps in
the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit, as this can impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and cause
damage to the appliance.
~
Never use a steam cleaner to clean
the appliance. Pressurized steam could
damage electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
