Use

ª The domestic refrigerators and freezers are 

designed to be used specifically for the storage of 

edible foodstuffs only.

ª Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been 

thawed out.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should 

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant 

instructions.

ª The inner lining of the appliance consists of 

channels through which the refrigerant passes. If 

these should be punc tured 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.

ª Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the 

freezer as it creates pressure on the container, 

which may cause it to explode, resulting in 

damage to the appliance.

Wherever possible the back of the product should 

be against a wall.

ª If the appliance has been transported horizontally,

connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow 

back in the compressor.
