■
To prevent the formation of a flam-
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
378 standard. The amount of refrig-
erant 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.
Health hazard!
Spurting refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
■
If refrigerant comes into contact with
the eyes or mucous membranes, im-
mediately flush eyes with clean water
and seek medical attention.
High concentrations of refrigerant va-
pour can cause dizziness, headaches,
nausea or asphyxiation.
■
Do not inhale refrigerant vapour.
■
Immediately air the room if refriger-
ant leaks.
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 flamma-
ble propellant, in this appliance, as
they can form ignitable gas-air mix-
tures.
■
Never use defrosting sprays to de-
frost. They can generate explosive
gases.
Risk of fire and health hazard!
The thermal insulation and the interior
are scratch and heat-sensitive and can
melt or catch fire.
Plastics such as those used in thermal
insulation can release toxic fumes if
they melt or catch fire.
■
Do not use any electric heating equip-
ment, knives or devices with an open
flame such as candles.
■
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
flames and hot surfaces.
