Information on the refrigerant R600a
The R600a and cyclopentane used in this appliance are 100% CFC-free coolants and
insulants. This helps to protect the ozone layer and reduce the greenhouse effect.
These appliances can be identifi ed by the marking “Refrigerant R600a” on the type
plate.
Beware of damage to the cooling circuit because, if released, R600a can then
contribute to the greenhouse effect to a minor degree.
This applies when the appliance is being transported and throughout the entire
service life of the appliance. It is also important that these appliances are disposed of
correctly in compliance with the local regulations.
Preparing the freezer
− Unpack the appliance and remove the adhesive tape.
Remove any possible adhesive residue using a mild cleaning agent.
− Dispose of the protective polystyrene foam packaging separately.
− Wipe down the inside of the appliance and the fi tting elements using lukewarm
water and a mild cleaning agent and allow to dry.
