with a high level of environmental
compatibility, which is nevertheless
flammable. Ensure, therefore, that
none of the components of the
refrigerant circuit become damaged
during transportation and installation
of the appliance. If damage to the
cooling circuit does occur, do not
switch on or connect the appliance to
the mains power. In the case that
there is an open fire or any other
sources of ignition in the vicinity of the
refrigerant gas, make sure it is
removed immediately from this area
and that the room is then thoroughly
ventilated.
∙ If the unit is sold, handed over to
a third party or disposed of at a
suitable recycling facility, attention
must be drawn to the presence of
the refrigerant R600a. For additional
information on correct recycling refer
to the Disposal section.
∙ This appliance is not designed for the
storage of explosive substances such
as aerosol cans with a flammable
propellant.

device (e.g.; heaters or heating fans)
to accelerate de-frosting; follow only
the methods recommended in this
manual.
∙ This appliance may be used by
children (at least 8 years of age) and
by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or

supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance and fully
understand all dangers and safety
precautions involved.
∙ Children must not be permitted to
carry out any cleaning or maintenance
work on the appliance unless they
are supervised and at least 8 years of
age.
∙ The appliance and its power cord must
be kept well away from children under
8 at all times.
∙ Children must not be permitted to play
with the appliance.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from
children – these are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the main body
including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted
should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should
the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto
a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to
pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even
invisible damage may have adverse effects on the
operational safety of the appliance.
∙ During operation, the appliance must be placed on
a level, non-slip surface, impervious to splashes and
stains.
∙ Ensure that there is enough space around the unit
so that the air circulation round and behind it is not
obstructed (sides 8 cm, top 30 cm.).
∙ Do not cover the ventilation slots.
∙ Avoid switching the appliance on and off unnecessarily.
To prevent damage to the compressor, always wait for at
least 5 minutes between switching on and off.
∙ Always ensure that the action of the motor cannot be
impeded or blocked by over-solid ice-cream or any hard
objects.
∙ To prevent the ice-cream bowl from being damaged, do
not use any sharp or pointed metal objects to remove
the ice-cream.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull
on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not let the power cord hang free.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot
surfaces or to come into contact with any heat sources.
∙ No responsibility is accepted if damage results from
improper use, or if these instructions are not complied
with.
