IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND ADVICE
It is very important that you keep this instruction booklet together with the appliance for
future reference. If the appliance should be sold or transferred to others, make sure that the
instruction booklet is included with it so that the new owner can become acquainted with its
operation and the information concerning it.
If this appliance - fitted with a magnetic lock - is to replace one fitted with a spring lock, we
recommend that you make the spring lock unserviceable before setting the old appliance
aside. The purpose of this operation is to prevent children from becoming accidentally
locked inside the refrigerator, thus endangering their lives. This information is provided for
your safety and that of others. Therefore, please read this information carefully before instal-
ling and using the appliance.

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning
it inside and outside, and before replacing the

with one).
• Do not eat certain products such as ice lollies
as soon as they are taken out of the appli-
ance since the very low temperature they are
stored at maycause burns.
