3. SAFETY
Before you use your appliance for the first time, please read this user manual carefully. Store it carefully so that
you can refer to it in future, if necessary.
Generally speaking, your appliance must be maintained by a qualified professional.
This appliance is designed exclusively for domestic use and is intended for the
storage of special food and drink products at a storage temperature higher than that
of a storage compartment for fresh products. Under no circumstances is it intended to
keep food products fresh.
To prevent any danger, do not replace a damaged mains cable yourself. Contact
your retailer, an approved service centre or professional repairer.
This appliance is not intended for use by people (particularly children less than 8
years) with diminished physical, sensory or mental capacities, or by people lacking
experience or knowledge of such appliances, unless they are supervised by or have
received instruction regarding use of the appliance from a person who is responsible
for their safety.
Keep children away from the appliance and its cable.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance and clean it. Abandoned appliances
are always dangerous.
Disconnect the device before performing any servicing or cleaning operation
(disconnect the mains plug or trip the corresponding circuit breaker, depending on
the model).
Refer to chapter "MAINTENANCE" before cleaning your appliance.
Make sure that your electrical installation's voltage corresponds to that on the
appliance's nameplate; the appliance must be connected to an approved, earthed
system. Incorrect repairs or connections can cause safety hazards. Have your
electrical installation checked by a professional, if you are in any doubt.
This unit must be correctly connected to an earthed socket for your protection. Do not
cut off or remove the earth wire on the mains cable supplied.
For safety reasons, do not use an electrical extension cable.
If your appliance is damaged (e.g. a major impact) or suffers harm (power surge due
to lightning, flood, fire), it may be dangerous to use. Disconnect the mains plug and
have the appliance checked by an approved professional repairer.
This appliance must be positioned such that the mains socket is accessible. Do not
move the appliance once it is full: you might distort its body beyond repair. The
electrical parts must not be directly accessible.
Do not use this appliance outdoors.
