Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with
accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety
Law. Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you
aware of the following safety information:
Intended use
• The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable
for the cooling, freezing and storing frozen food, as well as for
making ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than
those intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted
by the manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.
• Alterations or changes to the refrigerator are not permitted for
reasons of safety.
• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for
purposes other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of
foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your appli-
cation.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circum-
stance should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the
event of damage, please contact the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refri-
gerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of
environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
• During transportation and installation of the appliance, be cer-
tain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit
become damaged.
• If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is
situated.
Safety of children
• Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging mate-
rial away from children!
