IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ~ After your appliance is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the machine, ice cubes or frozen food, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces. ~ Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. ~ Do not handle frozen food or ice with wet hands. Danger of injury. ~ Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. ~ Do not deactivate the water filter display. ~ Do not use sharp-edged objects to remove frost and ice, or separate frozen foods and remove ice trays. They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. ~ Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health. ~ Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal, as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time. ~ Do not block the ventilation gaps in the plinth or the top of the appliance housing unit, as this can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and cause damage to the appliance. ~ Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Pressurized steam could damage electrical components and cause a short circuit. Disposal of your old appliance ~ Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or lock unusable. ~ Take off the doors. ~ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. ~ Consult with your municipal policy on recycling. ~ Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework while awaiting disposal by: - puncturing the refrigerant channels in the evaporator. - bending any pipework. - scratching the surface coating. Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes. ~ Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation. Make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed and disposed of by a qualified technician. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 6
