Important Safety Instructions
6 818 35 46-00/4
• Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household
appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not
allow children to play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through
contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers
with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for
cigarette lighters etc. in the appliance.
• Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer. They can burst
when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents contain
carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, champagne etc.
into the freezer. Exception: Spirits with high alcohol content may be
stored in the freezer.
• Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer into the
mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.
• Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
• Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the appliance
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Warning - Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings as this
will impair the operation of the appliance.
• Warning - The appliance defrosts automatically. Do not use
mechanical or artificial devices to accelerate the defrosting process.
• Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from
the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the
accumulation of condensation on the top panel through contact with
the cold. Electronic components are housed within this top panel. If
water should drip onto these components, the appliance could be
damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen goods
on top of the appliance.
• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not
pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
• If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the
section "What to do if ..." in these operating instruction. If the
instructions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any
further work on your own.
• Freezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. Repairs carried
out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial danger. Please
contact your dealer or our customer service department for repairs.
