■ The house mains to which you should
connect the appliance should comply with
national and local regulations.
■ Connect the appliance to a wall socket
which has been fitted in accordance with
the current regulations.
■ Pay attention to the distance between the
refrigerator and any heat source. The
temperature of the mantle must not exceed
75 °C.
■ Never bend refrigerant pipes.
■ To avoid damaging the cooling system,
never clean the appliance with sharp
objects. In the event of damage to the
cooling system resulting in leakage of
refrigerant, ventilate the area. Warn the
Service department immediately.
■ Never use the plinth, drawers and shelves
as a step.
■ Never let children play with the appliance.
■ Repairs should only be carried out by a
recognised service engineer.
■ If you have received a damaged
refrigerator, contact your supplier
immediately.
■ Do not use an extension lead to connect up
the appliance.
■ The plug should be disconnected from the
wall socket during repair work and
cleaning.
■ Never pull the plug out of the socket by the
cable. Always grasp the plug firmly and
remove it straight from the socket.
■ Do not store any explosive or highly
inflammable substances in the freezer.
Alcohol and liquids with a high percentage
of alcohol should only be stored in closed,
upright containers.
■ Do not keep in the freezer any bottles
containing fluids which will freeze. The
freezing may cause the bottles to break.
■ If you still have your old refrigerator at
home and no longer use it, remove the
door(s). This will prevent children shutting
themselves inside and endangering their
lives.
