• Ensure that the electrical cable is not squeezed or bent when the unit is being
installed or moved.
• Electrical cable must not be left on the floor near the unit to avoid electrical shocks
due to the condensation water flowing from the unit during the operation.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, always switch the unit off and
disconnect the mains plug. Always pull the plug and never the cable. If the plug is
not accessible, switch off at the circuit fuse.
• Never store flammable or explosive products (eg. aerosols with flammable
propellants) in the appliance.
• The unit’s cooling system contains refrigerant. Both the unit and the products
stored inside can be severely damaged if this system starts to leak. Make sure,
therefore, that no sharp or pointed objects come into contact with the cooling
system.
• Check whether the unit has been delivered undamaged. If you find that damage has
occurred in transit, immediately contact the delivery service or relevant sales
outlet, submitting the delivery note or proof of purchase. Do not operate a unit that
has been damaged in transit! If you are unsure, contact your sales outlet and ask
them.
• The unit must only be transported in an upright position and with closed door.
Environmental Protection
• Make your contribution to saving the environment. Bear in mind that orderly and
proper disposal is required. Packaging materials and devices are always recyclable
and should be taken for recycling.
• Before scrapping an old unit, remove the door so that children cannot lock
themselves inside whilst playing.
• Before scrapping the unit, arrange for the batteries to be removed and disposed of
separately.
• When disposing a unit, avoid exposing it to excessive heat, as the insulating foam
was produced using a flammable gas.
Installation
• The unit must only be operated in covered places; an external use is only permitted
if the unit is safely protected from rain and dust. Avoid locating it close to a heat
source.
• Ensure that the unit is steady and perfectly straight.
• Good air circulation around the compressor is essential for trouble-free operation.
Keep the ventilation openings of the compressor cover always free from any
obstructions. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm to the wall all round the unit and at
least 30 cm to the ceiling.
• Do not locate the unit below a ceiling fan or right next to air-conditioning
equipment.
