Instructions for Use 43
Important
• If you've bought this appliance to replace an old
one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened
from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock
is broken. This will make it impossible for the
children to lock themselves in
the appliance and suffocate.
• Mind to connect the appliance correctly to the
mains supply (see Connection to the Mains
Supply).
• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the
appliance operates, especially not with wet
hands, because the skin might stick to the cold
surfaces.
• Do not freeze bottled drinks, especially not fizzy
ones such as mineral water, sparkling wine,
beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during
freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to
blow up.
• Never try to eat frozen food (bread, fruit,
vegetables), because you may get frostbites.
• Carefully check the foods for color and smell
and if you are in doubt about their quality, throw
them away because they may be spoiled and
therefore dangerous to eat.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains
before repairing (only a qualified technician
should repair it) and before cleaning.
• Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended
by the manufacturer.
• For the sake of environment protection - be
careful not to damage the rear wall of the
appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes - for
example when moving the appliance) or any
part of the refrigerating system inside the
appliance. Do not use sharp object for
defrosting the appliance. Use only enclosed
tools or tools recommended by the
manufacturer.
• The refrigerating system of the appliance is
filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the
appliance is damaged, handle it with care and
dispose it of in compliance with environmental
protecting precautions. (See We Care for the
Environment).
• Heating element incorporated in the appliance,
all around the rim, is controlled by the operation
of the compressor and it prevents the door
gasket to freeze on to the freezer housing.
• In the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or his service
agent or a qualified person in order to avoid
hazard.
• The rating plate is in the interior or on the rear
wall of the appliance.
Storing Time During Power Supply
Interruption
Avoid opening the freezer in case of failure or
power supply interruption! In case the interruption
is extended over longer period of time (16 hours),
take food out of the freezer and use it, or make
sure it remains well cooled (perhaps you have an
extra appliance).
Disposing of the Worn Out
Appliance
• When your appliance finally wears out, dispose
it of. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in
order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of
children get locked inside the appliance).
• The refrigerating system of the appliance is
filled with refrigerant and insulating substances
which should be separately treated and
processed. Call your nearest authorised service
agent or specialised servicing centre. If you
don't find one, contact your local authorities or
your distributor. Be careful not to damage the
tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger
of pollution).
