Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fire and damage to property.
• Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
• Do not locate multiple portable socket
outlets or portable power supplies at
the rear of the appliance.
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 a flammable gas-air mix-
ture from forming following a leakage
in the refrigeration circuit, the instal-
lation space must have a minimum
size of 1 m
3
per 8 g of refrigerant in
compliance with the EN 378 standard.
The amount of refrigerant contained in
your appliance can be found on the
type plate of your device
• 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 flamma-
ble 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.
