DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
There is a risk of electric shock due
to live parts.
After installing the appliance, check
that the mains connection cable is not
squashed or damaged.
Do not operate the appliance if it has
been visibly damaged or the mains cable
or plug is defective.
In the event of damage, contact our Ser-
vice Centre.
Only connect the appliance to a properly
installed and easily accessible earthed
mains socket that is close to where you
are using the appliance. The local mains
voltage must match the voltage stated in
the technical specifications for the appli-
ance.
The power socket must be easily accessi-
ble so that you can unplug the appliance
from the mains quickly if necessary.
WARNING! Ensure the mains cable is out
of harm's way and will not trip people up.
Do not use an extension cable.
WARNING! Do not allow the mains cable
to become trapped or damaged during
installation.
WARNING! Do not connect portable
multiple sockets or power supplies to the
back of the appliance.
In order to disconnect the appliance com-
pletely from the electrical circuit, pull the
mains plug out of the socket.
3.3. Use of the appliance
WARNING!
Risk of injury/risk to health!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to injuries.
Do not touch the freezer compartment's
frozen inner walls or frozen foodstuffs
with your hands. Do not put ice cubes or
ice lollies directly from the freezer into
your mouth. Cold burns are possible.
48
Do not misuse the plinth, drawer com-
partments, doors etc. as a step or for sup-
port.
The appliance may not work properly (pos-
sibility of stored foods defrosting or the
temperature in the freezer compartment
increasing), if the appliance is exposed to
temperatures that fall below the specified
intended temperature range for a prolonged
period of time (below 10°C).
In case of power failure or a switched off ap-
pliance, stored foodstuffs may start to thaw
or defrost completely. There is a risk of food
poisoning.
If there has been a power failure, check
that the food which is stored in the appli-
ance still looks and smells safe to eat.
If there has been a power failure, dispose
of any frozen food which has visibly start-
ed to thaw.
Do not refreeze food that has thawed or
defrosted.
WARNING! If the door is left open for a
long time, this can cause the temperature
inside the appliance to increase signifi-
cantly.
Regularly clean surfaces that may come
into contact with food and accessible
drain systems.
In the event of disconnection, even of a
temporary nature only, take the frozen
food out of the appliance and keep it in
sufficiently cold storage.
Ensure cleanliness and correct storage of
food.
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket, defrost and
clean the appliance, leaving the freezer
door open to avoid unpleasant odours
and to prevent mould from forming.
