Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical
equipment - other than the type recommended by the
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage compartments.
Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your
mouth.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience
and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can
become a choking or suffocation hazard.
Disposal
Observe local environmental standards when disposing
packaging material for recycling purposes.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact
on human health and the environment. The crossed out
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be
separately collected. Consumers should contact their local
authority or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the environment
Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room.
Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not
place it near heat sources.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must
circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation
is impeded, the compressor will work continuously.
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal
temperature will increase and force the compressor to work
harder and will consume more energy.
Defrost the appliance if ice forms (
see Maintenance
). A thick
layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more
difficult and results in increased energy consumption.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they
are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (
see
Maintenance
).
