Safety
Page GB-9
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Always abide by the prescribed am-
bient temperature (see the ‘Climate
categories’ line on page GB-27).
Risk of injury from frozen goods!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. There is a risk of
burns caused by low temperatures.
■
The food and the inside walls of the
freezer compartment have a very low
temperature. Never touch them with
wet hands. This can cause injury to
the skin. Skin damage can occur even
with dry skin.
■
Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a lit-
tle before eating, do not put into your
mouth straight from the freezer area.
NOTICE
Risk of damage
If the cooling unit has been transported
on its end, lubricant from the compres-
sor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
Only transport the appliance in a ver-
tical position wherever possible.
■
Allow the cooling unit to stand for 2
hours before start-up. The lubricant
will fl ow back into the compressor
during this time.
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
The appliance must only be placed
on a level and fi rm surface. The sur-
face must be strong enough to sup-
port the appliance’s weight when ful-
ly laden.
■
Do not use sharp or pointed objects
to unpack it.
■
Do not use any electrical parts inside
the appliance’s cooling chamber that
do not conform to the manufactur-
er’s recommended design.
■
Do not use any mechanical devices or
means other than those recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
■
Do not use any mechanical devices or
means other than those recommend-
ed by the manufacturer to accelerate
defrosting.
■
Do not place any heat-emitting appli-
ances, such as microwaves or toast-
ers, on the freezer. Make sure that the
ventilation slots at the sides are not
covered.
■
Do not store glass or metal contain-
ers containing water, lemonade, beer
etc. Water expands when frozen and
can burst the container.
■
Defrost the appliance in a timely
manner, before ice and frost form a
layer of more than 5 mm. Excessive
ice formation increases power con-
sumption and the freezer compart-
ment door may no longer close tight-
ly.
■
Do not use any means other than
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting. For ex-
ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open fl ame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
are scratch and heat-sensitive and
can melt.

When cleaning, please note:
