suffi ciently cool place or in another
refrigerating appliance.
■
After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately, do not refreeze.
■
Use only drinking water to make ice
cubes.
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-28).
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 transport-
ed horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
Only transport the appliance in a ver-
tical position.
■
Allow the cooling unit to stand up-
right for 2 hours before start-up. The
lubricant will fl ow back into the com-
pressor during this time.
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
Do not pull or lift the device by the
doors or door handles.
■
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-

■
When unpacking the appliance, nev-
er damage the insulation material on
the back of the appliance.
■
Do not use any electrical parts inside
the appliance that do not conform to
the manufacturer’s recommended

■
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.
■
The interior light must only be used
to illuminate the interior of the appli-
ance. It is not suitable for lighting a
room.
■
Do not store glass or metal contain-
ers containing water, lemonade, beer
