Risks associated with using
refrigerants
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friendly,
but flammable refrigerant R600a (isobu-
tane).
• Do not use mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the de-
frosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
For example, do not use any electric
heating equipment, knives or devices
with an open flame such as a candle.
The thermal insulation and the interi-
or are scratch and heat-sensitive and
can melt.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Keep the appliance away from open
flames and hot surfaces.
• Mechanical intervention in the refriger-
ation system must only be carried out
by authorised specialists.
• Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
cuit, e.g. by puncturing the refrigerant
channels of the condensate evapo-
rator with sharp objects, bending the
piping, or cutting open the insulation.
• Refrigerant is flammable when spurt-
ing out and can damage the eyes. In
this case, rinse your eyes in clean wa-
ter and seek medical assistance im-
mediately.
• To prevent the formation of a flamma-
ble gas-air mixture in the event of a
leakage in the refrigeration circuit, the
installation space must have a mini-
mum size of 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant
in compliance with the EN 378 stand-
ard. The amount of refrigerant con-
tained in your appliance can be found
on the type plate on your appliance.
• To avoid the formation of sparks, do
not pull out the mains plug in the event
of a gas leak.
Risks associated with chemical
substances
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of chemical sub-
stances can lead to explosions.
• Do not store explosive substances
such as aerosol cans with a flammab-
le propellant in this appliance.
• Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with flammable propellants
inside the appliance as they may cre-
ate ignitable gas-air mixtures.
• Never use defrosting sprays to defrost.
They can generate explosive gases.
Risks to children
WARNING
Risk of suffocation!
Children can become entangled in the
packaging film or swallow small parts
and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the
packaging film.
• Prevent children from pulling small
parts from the device or taking them
out of the accessory bag and putting
them in their mouths.
• When disposing of the appliance, en-
sure that children cannot suffocate
inside the appliance (e.g. do not re-
move the fridge and freezer drawers,
unscrew the door/cover).
