Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance to a prop-
erly installed and earthed electric

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
vaporiser with sharp objects, bending
the tubing, 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 m³ 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 on the data sheet (see
„Technical specifications“ on page
EN-27).
