  • Page 5: Safety

    Safety The safety of our appliances is in accordance with recognised techno- logical standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guideli- nes: Use for Intended Purpose • The appliance is intended for household use. It is suited for the refri- geration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the prepara- tion of ice.
  • Page 6 Safety • Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place them- selves into other life-endangering situations.
  • Page 7 Safety • Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche. Damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock. • Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power cord.
