Risks when dealing with fridge
and freezer appliances
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance to a prop-
erly installed and earthed electric
socket.
■
Do not connect to a multi-socket ex-
tension cable or a multi-socket plug.
■
In order to guarantee suffi cient air cir-
culation,
keep ventilation openings,
in the appliance enclosure or in the
built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
■
Do not place the appliance directly
against the wall. Observe the mini-
mum spacing intervals (see „Trans-
porting, unpacking and setup“ on
page EN-21).
CAUTION
Dangers from the refrigerant!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friend-
ly, but fl ammable refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).
■
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
■
Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
cuit
, for example, by piercing the re-
frigerant channels of the condensate
evaporator with sharp objects, bend-
ing the piping, cutting open the insu-
lation, etc.
■
Refrigerant is fl ammable when spurting
out and can damage the eyes. In this
case, rinse your eyes in clean water and
seek medical assistance immediately.
■
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 in the data sheet at the
end of this user manual.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury.
■
The appliance is heavy and bulky. Ask
another person to help with moving
and installation.
■
Check that entry route and instal-
lation location are free of obstacles
(e.g. closed doors or objects lying on
the fl oor).
■
Bases, drawers, doors, etc. must not
be used as steps or for support pur-
poses.
■
Do not place heavy objects on the ap-
pliance, as they could fall down and
cause injuries.
■
Lay out the mains cable in such a way
that it does not become a trip hazard.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
Contaminated food can cause health
problems.
■
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
