Instructions for safety and environment • Never connect your refrigerator to energy saving devices. Such systems are harmful to your product. • Unplug the product during installation, care, cleaning and repairing procedures. • Always have the Authorised Service Provider install the product and establish its electrical connections. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by procedures performed by unauthorised persons. • Do not eat cone ice cream or ice cubes immediately after you take them out of the freezer compartment! This may cause frostbite in your mouth! • Do not touch frozen food with wet hands! They may stick to your hand! • Do not put bottled or canned liquid beverages in the freezer compartment. They may burst! • Never use steam or steam cleaners to clean or defrost the refrigerator. Steam gets into contact with the live parts in your refrigerator, causing short circuit or electric shock! • Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. • Never use the parts in your refrigerator such as the door and drawer as a means of support or step.
