Use
The domestic refrigerators and freezers are
designed to be used specifically for the storage of
edible foodstuffs only.
Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has
been thawed out.
Manufacturers' storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
The inner lining of the appliance consists of
channels through which the refrigerant passes. If
these should be punctured this would damage
the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss.
DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape
off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using
the scraper provided. Under no circumstances
should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice
should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the
appliance. See defrost instructions.
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in
damage to the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to
speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. Never use
metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it
may get damaged.
