When replacing old appliances, make sure that you 

have disabled any locking mechanisms before disposal 

– it may even be best to remove the appliance door 

completely to prevent children from becoming trapped 

inside the appliance.

• 

The appliance must be connected to the power supply 

safely. Loose connections, broken plugs and bare wires 

are a safety hazard. Make sure that all connections are 

sound.

• 

Before undertaking any routine maintenance or minor 

repairs, disconnect the appliance from the electrical 

supply. This includes cleaning and changing light bulbs.

• 

DO NOT touch cold surfaces of the appliance while it is 

in use as this will cause hands to stick to them leading 

to freezer burns.

• 

When moving the appliance take care not to damage 

the leads, pipes or condenser unit. Should these parts 

become damaged, contact a qualified service engineer.

• 

Effervescent liquids (fizzy drinks) should never be 

frozen. These liquids expand during freezing and 

this may lead to the bottles/containers shattering or 

exploding.

• 

Foods that are intended to be defrosted or cooked first, 

such as breads or meats, must not be eaten in their 

frozen state.

• 

If food looks or smells strange, do not attempt to eat it. 

If in doubt throw it away. 

• 

Never use sharp, metal implements to scrape ice off the 

surface of this appliance. Only use implements, which 

are fit for this purpose (such as  plastic scrapers) and use 

carefully to avoid damaging the lining of the appliance.

• 

The cooling system contains refrigerant and oils, all of 

which are harmful to health if leaked. Should leakage 

occur, disconnect the appliance and ventilate the room. 

Make sure that you do not get any coolant near to, or in, 

your eyes. 

Contact a service engineer or arrange to have the 

appliance removed.
