Safety of children and other vulnerable persons
•
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
•
User cleaning and servicing operations should not be carried out by children, unless they are
more than 8 years old and are supervised.
•
Keep all packaging away from children as there is risk of suffocation.
•
Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit in the garage a few days".
•
If you are discarding the appliance, pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent children playing from
suffering an electric shock or from closing themselves inside it.
•
If this appliance, featuring a magnetic door's seals, is to replace an older appliance having a
spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make the spring lock unusable before you discard
the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.
•
Keep the appliance and its power cable out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
•
Before you throw away your old wine cooler: take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so
that children may not easily climb inside.
•
Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload this appliance.
•
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
