• Never use continuous operation unless unnecessarily
required; switch the operation mode selection switch to the
setting for automatic operation as soon as possible.
• Before freezing packages of fresh foods, make sure they are
cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do
clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is
poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.

Important

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• If you've bought this appliance to replace an old one
equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside
(lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make
it impossible for the children to lock themselves in
the appliance and suffocate.
• Mind to connect the appliance correctly to the mains supply
(see Connection to the Mains Supply).
• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance
operates, especially not with wet hands, because the skin
might stick to the cold surfaces.
• Do not freeze bottled drinks, especially not fizzy ones such
as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because
liquid expands during freezing and the glass bottle is very
likely to blow up.
• Never try to eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables),
because you may get frostbites.
• Carefully check the foods for color and smell and if you are
in doubt about their quality, throw them away because they
may be spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains before repairing
(only a qualified technician should repair it) and before
cleaning.
• Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the
manufacturer.
• For the sake of environment protection - be careful not to
damage the rear wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or
the tubes - for example when moving the appliance) or any
part of the refrigerating system inside the appliance.
• The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with
refrigerant and oil, so when the appliance is damaged,
handle it with care and dispose it of in compliance with
environmental protecting precautions. (See We Care for the
Environment).
• Heating element incorporated in the appliance, all around
the rim, is controlled by the operation of the compressor and
it prevents the door gasket to freeze on to the freezer
housing.
