Safety instructions and warnings

To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the ap-pliance should be unpacked and set up by two people.
In the event that the appliance is damaged on delivery, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the ap-pliance is set up and connected as described in these operating instructions.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains if any fault occurs. Pull out the plug, switch off or remove the fuse.
When disconnecting the appliance, pull on the plug, not on the cable.
Any repairs and work on the appliance should only be carried out by the customer service department, as unauthori sed work could prove highly dangerous for the user. The same applies to changing the mains power cable.
Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the appliance. When transporting and cleaning the appliance ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged. In the event of damage, make sure that there are no ignition sources nearby and keep the room well ventilated.
Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to support anything else.
This appliance can be used by children of 8 years old and over, and also by persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capacity or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed on safe use of the appli-ance and understand the resulting risks. Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with cold surfaces or chilled/frozen food. This could cause pain, numb-ness and frostbite. In the case of prolonged skin contact, protective measures should be taken, e.g. gloves should be worn.
Do not eat ice cream, particulary ice lollies or ice cubes, immediately after taking them from the freezer compartment as there is a risk of “burn-ing” because of the very cold temperatures.
Do not consume food which has been stored for too long, as it could cause food poisoning.
Do not store explosives or sprays using com-bustible propellants such as butane, propane, pentane etc. in the appliance. Electrical compo-nents might cause leaking gas to ignite. You may identify such sprays by the printed contents or a flame symbol.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the ap-pliance.
The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
The LED light strips illuminate the interior of the appliance. They are not suitable for lighting a room.

Disposal notes
The appliance contains reusable materials and should be disposed of properly – not simply with unsorted household refuse. Appliances which are no longer needed must be disposed of in a professional and appropriate way, in accordance with the current local regulations and laws. When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged to prevent the uncontrolled escape of the refrigerant it contains (data on type plate) and oil.

Disable the appliance.
Pull out the mains plug.
Cut through the connection cable.

WARNING
The danger of suffocation is due to the packing material and plastic film! Do not allow children to play with packaging material. Take the packaging material to an official collection point. A sticker to this effect may be applied to the rear of the appliance. It refers to the foam padded panels in the door and/or the housing. This is only relevant for recycling. Do not remove the sticker.
