Do not store cooking oil in the refrigerator door Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door P Do not block the ventilation gaps in the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance P The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges ambient temperatures and should not be used outside this range The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature e g a garage can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature P Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to defrost or clean this appliance Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit Disposal of your old appliance gt Before disposing of an old appliance first make the door latch or lock unusable This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives gt Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal e g by puncturing the refrigerant channels in the evaporator bending any pipework scratching the surface coating Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non complia
