•
Do not use plug adapter.
•
This appliance is designed for use by adults. Do not allow children to play with the appliance or hang off the

• Never touch the power cord/plug with wet hands. This may cause a short circuit or electric shock.
•
Do not place glass bottles or cans in the ice-making compartment as they will burst when the contents freeze.
• Do not place explosive or flammable material in your freezer. Place drinks with high alcohol content vertically in
the freezer compartment and make sure their tops are tightly closed.
• When removing ice from the ice-making compartment, do not touch it. Ice may cause frost burns and/or cuts.
•
Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Do not eat ice-cream or ice cubes immediately after they are
removed from the ice-making compartment.
•
Do not re-freeze thawed frozen food. This may cause health issues such as food poisoning.
Before using your freezer
•
Before setting up your freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your freezer if it is
damaged.
• When using your freezer for the first time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before
plugging into the mains. This will allow efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• You may notice a light odour when using your freezer for the first time. This is perfectly normal and will
fade away as the freezer starts to cool.
No-Frost technology
Your freezer differs from many other standard freezers. Other appliances may experience ice in
the freezer due to the opening of the door and humidity caused by the food. In such appliances
defrosting is required. They have to be turned off periodically, the food inside moved and the ice
removed.
Your "no frost" freezer prevents such problems by evenly distributing in the freezer through the use
of a fan. This cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and freezing.
