During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat
up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the relevant
Figure.

If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the com-
pressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before con-
necting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.
The inner lining of the appliance consists of channels through which the refrigerant
passes. If these should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and
cause food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Frost
may be removed by using the scraper provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice
be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance.
See defrost instructions.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the con-
tainer, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance.
