Cooling circuit
The cooling circuit is factory tested for leaks. This
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements
and the appropriate EU guidelines.
This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a),
a natural gas which is environmentally friendly.
Although flammable, it does not damage the ozone
layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect.
The use of this coolant has led to a slight increase
in the noise level of the appliance. Additionally you
might be able to hear the coolant flowing through the
system. This does not have any adverse effects on the
performance of the appliance.
WARNING:
If cooling circuit is damaged;
• Leaking coolant can damage the eyes
• Avoid naked flames or anything that creates a spark.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity
supply if damage is caused to the cooling system.
• Ventilate the room.
• The more coolant there is in an appliance the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is
danger of a combustible gas build up. The amount
of coolant is stated on the data plate inside the
appliance. For every 11g of coolant at least 1m
3
of
room space is required.

Energy saving tips
• Well ventilated, lower ambient temperatures are
ideal conditions for energy saving. In very low
ambient temperatures (Never less than 5°C) the
internal temperatures should be checked with
a thermometer and the control dial adjusted as
necessary. (Towards MIN.)
• Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen
food and placing them in the appliance is kept to a
minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend
you use a cool bag to carry frozen food.
•

leave the door(s) of the appliance open
longer than is necessary and ensure they are closed
properly after each opening.
• Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so
that the frozen food acts to assist cooling the fridge.
