■
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 freezer has been transported hori-
zontally, lubricant from the compressor
may make its way into the cooling cir-
cuit.
■
Only transport the freezer in a vertical
position, where possible.
■
Allow the freezer to stand upright for
2 hours before starting it up. The lu-
bricant will fl ow back into the com-
pressor during this time.
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
Do not use the door to pull or lift the
appliance.
■
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 electrical appliances insi-
de the food storage compartments of
the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufac-
turer.
■
Do not use any mechanical devices or
means other than those recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
■
Do not store glass or metal contain-
ers containing water, lemonade, beer
etc. Water expands when frozen and
can burst the container.
■
Defrost the freezer in a timely man-
ner, before it forms a layer of ice and
frost of more than 4 mm. Excessive
ice formation increases power con-
sumption, the drawers become dif-
fi cult to open and the door may not
close completely.
■
Do not use mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the de-
frosting process, other than those re-
commended by the manufacturer.
For example, do not use any electric
heating equipment, knives or devices
with an open fl ame such as a candle.
The insulation is sensitive to scratch-
ing and heat or can melt.
■
When cleaning, please note:
–
Never use harsh, granular, soda,
acid, solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These attack the plastic
surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with
a neutral pH are recommended.
–
Door seals and plastic parts are
sensitive to oil and grease. Remove
contaminants as quickly as possi-
ble.
–
Use only soft cloths for cleaning.
■
Wait 5 minutes after switching off.
Only then switch the appliance on
again.
■
Only use original accessories.
