lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
■
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
generate explosive gases.
■
Only store high-proof alcohol upright
and tightly sealed.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
The inappropriate use of the device can
cause a fi re and damage to property.
■
Only connect the appliance to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a mul-
ti-socket extension cable or a mul-
ti-socket plug.
■
In order to guarantee suffi cient air cir-
culation, keep ventilation openings,
in the appliance enclosure or in the
built-instructure, clear of obstruction.
■
Do not place the appliance directly
against the wall. Observe minimum
distances.
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury.
■
Do not use the base, drawers, doors,
etc., as steps or for support.
Risks associated with using
refrigerators
Dangers from the refrigerant!
The refrigerant circuit of your appliance
contains the sustainable but fl amma-
ble refrigerant R600a (isobutane).
■
Mechanical modifi cations to the re-
frigeration system are only permitted
by authorised specialists.
■
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit,
e.g. by piercing the refrigerant chan-
nels of the evaporator with sharp ob-
jects, by bending pipes, etc.
■
Leaking refrigerant is fl ammable, and
can lead to eye damage. If this hap-
pens, rinse eyes with clean water and
call a doctor immediately.
■
To prevent the formation of a fl amma-
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 data sheet (see page EN-23).
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.
■
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.
Health hazards for stored food!
Incorrect handling, insuffi cient cool-
ing or overlapping items can spoil the
stored food. This could lead to a risk of
food poisoning when consumed!
