This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using

instructions carefully. They contain
important notes on safety, the oper-
ation and care of the appliance.

accidents and damage to the ap-
pliance.

Correct usage
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only for the cool stor-
age of foodstuffs as well as for storing
deep frozen food, freezing fresh food
and for preparing ice.
Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be dan-
gerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage caused
by improper use of the appliance.
Technical safety
This appliance contains the coolant Iso-
butane (R600a), a natural gas which is
very environment friendly. Although it is
flammable, it does not damage the
ozone layer and does not increase the
green house effect. The use of this envi-
ronment friendly coolant has however
led to a slight increase in the noise
level of the appliance. In addition to the
noise of the compressor you might be
able to hear the coolant flowing around
the system. This is unavoidable, but
does not have any adverse effect on
the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during transport-
ation and setting up of the appliance
that no parts of the cooling system are
damaged. Leaking coolant can dam-
age the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
– avoid open fires
and anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect from the mains,
– air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and
– contact the Service Department
for advice.
The more refrigerant 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 the danger of combus-
tible gases building up.
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m
3
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on
the data plate inside the appliance.
