Safety and warning information
Before you put the appliance into operation
Carefully read through the instructions for use and assembly instructions. They contain important information on setting up, using and maintaining the appliance.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by failure to follow the guidance and warnings contained in the instructions for use. Retain all documents for later use or for subsequent owners.
Technical safety
Risk of fire
The tubes of the refrigeration circuit convey a small quantity of an environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant (R600a). It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite.
If damage has occurred
- Keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from the appliance,
■ thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,
■ switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug,
■ inform customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be in which the appliance is situated. Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m ^3 per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance.
When positioning the appliance, make sure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, customer service or a similarly qualified person. Improper installations and repairs may put the user at considerable risk.
