Risks associated with using
refrigerants
WARNING
Risk of fi re and explosion!
Your appliance’s refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friendly,
but fl ammable and – as a mixture of air
and gas – explosive refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).
■
Do not use mechanical devices or oth-
er means to accelerate the defrost-
ing process, other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
■
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
eration 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 fi ns
or tubes on a cooling appliance are
damaged prior to the point of proper
disposal.
■
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 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
