NOTICE
Risk of damage
If the appliance has been transported
horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may make its way into the cool-
ing 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 appliance 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-
ly laden.
■
Do not use sharp or pointed objects
to unpack it.
■
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’s cooling chamber that
do not conform to the manufactur-
er’s recommended design.
■
Do not put any objects in the ventila-
tor and also make sure that children
cannot insert any objects into them.
■
Keep ventilation openings, in the ap-
pliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
■
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 containers
containing water, carbonated drinks,
beer, etc. Water expands when frozen
and can burst the container.
■
Do not store explosive substances
such as aerosol cans with a fl amma-
ble propellant in this appliance.
■
Defrost the appliance in a time-
ly manner, before it forms a layer of
ice and frost of more than 5 mm. Ex-
cessive ice formation increases pow-
er consumption, the drawers become
diffi cult to open and the door may
not close completely.
■
Do not use any means other than
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting.
■
Do not use mechanical devices or oth-
er means to accelerate the defrost-
ing process, other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
■
Do not use electrical appliances in-
side the food storage compartment
of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
■
Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
cuit.
■
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
