Introduction
Important Safety Instruction
16
Warning Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in
the appliance require special disposal procedures.
When disposal, please consult with a service agent
or similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but it is also
combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no
parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite
or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid
any naked flames or potential sources of ignition
and air the room in which the appliance is standing
for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air
mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the
size of the room in which the appliance may be sited
depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room
must be 1m
2 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant
inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your
particular appliance is shown on the identification plate
inside the appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of
damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
