contains the environmentally friend-
ly, but flammable refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).

■
other means to accelerate the de-
frosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
For example, do not use any electric
heating equipment, knives or devices

■
side the food storage compartments
of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
Keep the appliance away from open
■
flames and hot surfaces.
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
■
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
■
cuit, e.g. by puncturing the refrigerant
channels of the condensate evapora-
tor with sharp objects, bending the
piping, or cutting open the insulation.
Ensure that none of the cooling fins or
■
tubes on a refrigerator are damaged
prior to the point of proper disposal.
Refrigerant is flammable when spurt-
■
ing out and can damage the eyes. In
