~
This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).

Do not install the freezer in a room
with too low an ambient temperature,
e.g., a garage, as this may lead to the
appliance switching off for longer
periods so that it cannot maintain the
required temperature.
~
In appliances with an automatic ice
maker, avoid contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element located on the
bottom of the ice maker. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the freezer is
plugged in.
~
The ice cube maker is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
~
Do not use water that is
microbiologically or chemically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection or other treatment before or
after the filter is used; the filter alone is
not an adequate safeguard.
