Safety and warning information
Before you switch ON the appliance
Please read the operating and installation instructions carefully. They
contain important information on how to install, use and maintain
the appliance. Keep all documentation for subsequent use or for the
next owner.
Technical safety
This appliance contains a small quantity of environmentally friendly but
flammable R600a refrigerant. Ensure that the tubing of the refrigeration
circuit is not damaged during transportation and installation. Leaking
refrigerant may ignite.
If damage has occurred
- Keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from the appliance.
- Pull out the mains plug.
- Thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes.
- Notify customer services.
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be.
Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which
are too small. The room must be at least 1m per 8g of refrigerant. The
amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating label
on your appliance.

the compressor, because the temperature of the compressor surface
will rise when in operation. Insulation could be weakened and leakage
would occur.
â
Do not locate the fridge freezer in moist surroundings to avoid the
metal parts getting rusty. Do not spray water into the fridge freezer,
otherwise it will weaken the insulation and cause leakage.
â
