Dangers from the refrigerant!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friend-
ly, but fl ammable refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).
■
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
■
Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
cuit, for example, by piercing the re-
frigerant channels of the condensate
evaporator with sharp objects, bend-
ing the piping, cutting open the insu-
lation, etc.
■
Refrigerant is fl ammable 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 fl am-
mable gas-air mixture in the event of
a leakage in the refrigeration circuit,
the installation space must have a
minimum size of 1 m
3
per 8 g of re-
frigerant in compliance with the EN
378 standard. The amount of refrig-
erant contained in your appliance
can be found in the data sheet at the
end of this user manual.
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury.
■
The appliance is heavy and bulky. Ask
another person to help with moving
and installation.
■
Check that entry route and instal-
lation location are free of obstacles
(e.g. closed doors or objects lying on
the fl oor).
■
Bases, drawers, doors, etc. must not
be used as steps or for support pur-
poses.
■
Do not place heavy objects on the ap-
pliance, as they could fall down and
cause injuries.
■
Lay the mains cord so that it does not
pose a tripping hazard.
Health hazard!
Contaminated foods can cause health
problems.
■
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a signifi cant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
■
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems.
■
Store raw meat and fi sh in suitable
containers in the refrigerator, so that
it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
■
Two-star frozen-food compartments
are suitable for storing pre-frozen
food, storing or making ice-cream
and making ice cubes.
■
One-, two- and three-star compart-
ments are not suitable for the free-
zing of fresh food.
■
If the refrigerating appliance is left
empty for long periods, switch off,
defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door
open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
