If your appliance uses R600a as a refrigerant (this

information will be provided on the label of the
cooler) you should take care during transportation
and installation to prevent the cooler elements
from being damaged. R600a is an environmentally
friendly and natural gas, but it is explosive. In
the event of a leak due to damage of the cooler
elements, move your appliance away from open
flames or heat sources and ventilate the room where
the appliance is located for a few minutes.
• When replacing old appliances, make sure that you
have disabled any locking mechanisms before disposal
– it may even be best to remove the appliance door
completely to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to the power supply
safely. Loose connections, broken plugs and bare wires
are a safety hazard. Make sure that all connections are
sound.
• Before undertaking any routine maintenance or minor
repairs, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply.
• DO NOT touch cold surfaces of the appliance while it is
in use as this will cause hands to stick to them leading
to freezer burns.
• When moving the appliance take care not to damage
the leads, pipes or condenser unit. Should these parts
become damaged, contact a qualified service engineer.
• Effervescent liquids (fizzy drinks) should never be
frozen. These liquids expand during freezing and
this may lead to the bottles/containers shattering or
exploding.
