8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the manufacturer.
• The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When
disposing, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but which is also combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of
refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of
R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is
shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any
signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
