Risks when dealing with fridge
and freezer appliances
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

location“ on page GB-32).
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-

channels of the condensate vaporiser
with sharp objects, bending the tub-

■
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 circuit,
the installation space must have a
minimum size of 1 m
3
per 8 g of re-
frigerant in compliance with the EN
