rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.

et outlets or portable power supplies
at the rear of the appliance.
Risks associated with using
refrigerants
WARNING
Risk of fi re and explosion!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friend-
ly, but fl ammable 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 fl ame 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
fl ames 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 fl ammable 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 the formation of a fl am-
mable gas-air mixture in the event
of a leakage in the refrigeration cir-
cuit, the installation space must have
a minimum size of 1 m
3
per 8 g of
refrigerant in compliance with the
EN 378 standard. The amount of re-
frigerant contained in your appliance
can be found on the type plate.
■
To avoid the formation of sparks, do
not pull out the mains plug in the
event of a gas leak.
Risks associated with chemical
substances
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of chemical sub-
stances can lead to explosions.
■
Do not store explosive substances
such as aerosol cans with a fl amma-
ble propellant in this appliance.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with fl ammable propel-
lants inside the appliance as they
may create ignitable gas-air mixtures.
■
Never use defrosting sprays to de-
frost. They can generate explosive
gases.
