on small parts.
Risks when dealing with fridge
and freezer appliances
Dangers from the refrigerant!
The refrigerant circuit of your appliance
contains the sustainable but flamma-
ble refrigerant R600a (isobutane).
■
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
■
Do not damage the refrigeration
circuit, e.g. by piercing the refriger-
ant channels of the evaporator with
sharp objects, by bending pipes, etc.
■
Leaking refrigerant is flammable, and
can lead to eye damage. In this case,
rinse your eyes in clean water and call
a doctor immediately.
■
To prevent the formation of a flam-
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 m³ 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 data sheet (see
data sheet starting on page GB-24).
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to explosions.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with flammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
■
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
generate explosive gases. Also refrain
from using electric heating appli-
ances, naked flames or ice scrapers.
The insulation could melt or become
scratched.
■
High-proof alcohol should only be
stored upright and tightly sealed.
Health hazard!
Contaminated foods can cause health
problems.
■
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
■
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems.
■
Store raw meat and fish in suitable
containers in the refrigerator, so that
it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
■
If the refrigerating appliance is left
empty for long periods, switch off,
defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door
open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
