Page 5: Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions 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 guidelines: Use for Intended Purpose • The appliance is intended for use at home. Depending on the preset operation mode, this appliance becomes suitable for freezing, for fro- zen storage of foods, for ice preparation or for cooling of foods. - Page 6 Important Safety Instructions • 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 themselves into other life-endangering situations.

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.
