Operation

| NOTICE! Risk of damage

Ensure that the objects placed in the cooling device are suitable for cooling to the selected temperature.
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy the glass containers.
Ensure that your cooling device is well ventilated so that any heat created can dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be ensured. It is especially important not to cover the air vents.

---|---
| NOTE

Before starting your new cooling device for the first time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 10).
A few water drops may form inside the cooling device if it has been cooling for a lengthy period. This is normal because the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in the cooling device falls. The cooling device is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth if necessary.
If the handle is folded back or if the cooling device is being carried, the lid is locked. You can only open the lid when the handle is folded forwards.
