~
Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed and
connected in accordance with these
installation and operating instructions.
~
To protect the refrigerator from
possible damage, take care that it
always remains in an upright position.
Any time it is moved or installed, always
let it stand for 30 to 60 minutes before
plugging it in. This allows the coolant
and lubricant to settle down, which is
essential for proper operation.
~
This appliance is not designed for
use in non-stationary locations (for
example, on ships). However, this use
may be possible if a qualified specialist
determines that the appliance can be
used safely in the location in question.
~
Only suitably qualified professionals
should perform installation work,
maintenance, and repairs on this
appliance.
~
To eliminate the risk of electric
shock, one of the following conditions
must apply:
– the appliance has been unplugged
from the socket. To unplug, pull
carefully on the plug, NOT on the
cord.
– the main breaker for the house wiring
system is completely shut off.
– the screw-out fuse is completely
unscrewed and removed.
~
Do not connect the appliance to the
power supply by an extension cord.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance
(danger of overheating, for example).

del)

disconnected from the power supply
before the appliance is connected to
the household water line.

~
Do not handle frozen items when
your hands are wet. Your hands could
freeze to the item(s). Danger - frost
burn!
~
Never put ice or popsicles in your
mouth immediately after taking them
out of the freezer - your lips or tongue
could freeze to the item(s). Danger -
frost burn!
~
Never re-freeze partially or
completely thawed food. Defrosted
food should be used promptly, before it
loses nutritional value or spoils.
However, once it has been cooked,
thawed food can be frozen again.

the appliance, or products with
flammable propellants (spray cans, for
example). Sparking can occur when the
thermostat switches on, causing any
flammable gasses to explode.
