Dangers from the refrigerant!
Your appliance’s refrigerant circuit con-
tains the environmentally friendly, but
flammable refrigerant R600a (isobu-
tane).
• Mechanical intervention in the refriger-
ation system must only be carried out
by authorised specialists.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit,
for example by piercing the refrigerant
channels of the condensate vaporiser
with sharp objects, bending the tubing,
etc.
• 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 in your
appliance can be found in the chapter
entitled „Technical specifications“ on
page 29.

Improper handling of the appliance may
result in injury.
• The appliance is heavy and bulky. Ask

be used as steps or for support pur-
poses.
