Risks when dealing with fridge
and freezer appliances
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fire and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance to a prop-
erly installed and earthed electric
socket.
■
Do not connect to a multi-socket ex-
tension cable or a multi-socket plug.
■
Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure r in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
■
Do not place the appliance directly
against the wall. Adhere to minimum
distances (see "Choosing a suitable
location“ on page GB-34).
Dangers from the refrigerant!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally-friend-
ly, but flammable refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).
■
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
■
Do not damage the refrigeration cir-
cuit, for example by piercing the re-
frigerant 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 flam-
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 refrigerant in your
appliance can be found in the data
sheet on page GB-45.
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury.
■
The appliance is heavy and bulky.
Seek the help of another person dur-
ing transport and setup.
■
Check that entry route and instal-
lation location are free of obstacles
(e.g. closed doors or objects lying on
the floor).
■
Bases, drawers, doors, flaps, etc. must
not be used as steps or for support
purposes.
■
Do not place any heavy objects on
the appliance. They may fall down
and cause injuries.
■
Lay the mains cord so that it does not
pose a tripping hazard.
■
Make sure that no fingers get caught
when closing the doors.
Improper handling of the ice maker can
result in injury.
■
Do not insert fingers into the grinding
mechanism in the ice cube container.
■
Do not insert objects such as knives,
forks or similar into the ice or cold wa-
ter outlet or the grinding mechanism.
■
Be extremely careful when cleaning
the grinding mechanism.
■
Switch off the ice maker before re-
moving and cleaning.
■
Do not use delicate glasses or cups to
catch the ice. These could break as a
result of the difference in tempera-
ture, which could in turn result in in-
jury.
