Risks associated with using
refrigerants
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friend-
ly, but flammable refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).
■
Do not use mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the de-
frosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
For example, do not use any electric
heating equipment, knives or devices
with an open flame such as a candle.
The thermal insulation and the interi-
or are scratch and heat-sensitive and
can melt.
■
Do not use electrical appliances in-
side the food storage compartments
of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
■
Keep the appliance away from open
flames and hot surfaces.
■
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
■
Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
cuit, e.g. by puncturing the refrigerant
channels of the condensate evapora-
tor with sharp objects, bending the
piping, or cutting open the insulation.
■
Refrigerant is flammable when spurt-
ing out and can damage the eyes. In
this case, rinse your eyes in clean wa-
ter and seek medical assistance im-
mediately.
■
To prevent a flammable gas-air mix-
ture from forming following a leak-
age in the refrigeration circuit, the
installation space must have a min-
imum size of 1 m
3
per 8 g of refrig-
erant, in compliance with the EN 378
standard. The amount of refrigerant
in your appliance can be found on the
type plate on your appliance.
