Risks associated with using
refrigerants
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friendly,
but flammable and – as a mixture of air
and gas – explosive refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).
■
Do not use mechanical devices
or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
■
Mechanical intervention in the
refrigeration 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.
■
Ensure that none of the cooling fins or
tubes on a refrigerator are damaged
prior to the point of proper disposal.
■
To prevent the formation of a flam-
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 m3 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.
■
Dispose of old electrical appliances
at an authorised collection or return
point.
■
Only use original accessories.
