Warning and Safety instructions
~
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.
~
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is tightly
closed and stored upright.
Danger of explosion.
~
To avoid risk to health, never
deactivate the indicator reminding you
to change the water filter.
~
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals, as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
~
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil, make sure that it does not
come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress
cracks.
~
Do not cover or block the air vents in
the plinth as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
~
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range
for your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
can lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.

~
Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
