IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
~
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
~
Do not deactivate the water filter
display.
~
Do not use sharp-edged objects to
remove frost and ice, or separate
frozen foods and remove ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~
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.

Disposal of your old appliance
~
Before disposing of an old
appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.

Consult with your municipal policy
on recycling.

Be careful not to damage any part of
the pipework while awaiting disposal
by:

channels in the evaporator.
- bending any pipework.
- scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
~
Your old freezer may have a cooling
system that used CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you intentionally release this CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation. Make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed and disposed
of by a qualified technician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these
