Technical safety

This appliance contains a small quantity
of environmentally-friendly but flammable
R600a refrigerant. Ensure that the tubing
of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged
during transportation and installation.
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye
injuries or ignite.

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 m³ per 8 g
of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant
in your appliance is indicated on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
Only customer service may change the
power cord and carry out any other
repairs. Improper installations and
repairs may put the user at considerable
risk.
A power cable extension may be
purchased from customer service only.
