IMPORTANT WARNINGS

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high 

environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the 

appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. 
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, 
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance 
is standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, 

the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. 

The room must be 1m  in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. 

The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the 

appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. 

2

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of 

obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other 

than those 

recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, 

unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. 

The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal 

procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
