accompany the freezer to enable the next user to
use the freezer correctly and read the relevant
warnings.

Children must not be allowed to tamper with the
control buttons or play with the freezer.
Changes in the electrical mains system in connection
with the installation of this freezer should always be
carried out by an authorised electrician or competent

This freezer includes components that are heated
during operation. Consequently, adequate ventilation
must always be provided. If ventilation is insufficient
defects may occur, resulting in the loss of food. See
under “Installation”.
The inside of the freezer contains pipes through
which coolant flows. If these pipes are punctured the
freezer may be damaged beyond repair, and food
may be lost. Do not use sharp implements to remove
frost or ice. Frost can be removed using the enclosed
scraper. Do not knock ice off the sides of the freezer,
but remove it by defrosting the freezer. See under
“Maintenance”.
Do not place drinks in the freezer. Bottles and cans
containing carbonic acid or sparkling drinks are
particularly prone to explosion, which may damage
the freezer.
This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it.
If the freezer is fitted with a lock to prevent tampering
by children, the key must always be kept safely out of
the reach of children, and far away from the freezer.
Before disposing of an old freezer, make sure that the
lock (if present) no longer works. This is to prevent
accidents and avoid the danger of children getting
locked inside.
Ice lollies can cause frostbite if eaten direct from the
freezer.
