Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with
accepted technical standards and the German Appliance
Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to
make you aware of the following safety information:
Intended Use
•
The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is
suitable for the cooling and storing of food. If the appli-
ance is used for purposes other than those intended or
used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the man-
ufacturer for any damage that may be caused.
•
Alterations or changes to the refrigerator are not permit-
ted for reasons of safety.
•
If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or
for purposes other than the cooling of foods, please
observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial Start–up
•
Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no
circumstance should a damaged appliance be plugged
in! In the event of damage, please contact the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the
refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high
level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless
flammable.
•
Warning - During transportation and installation of the
appliance, be certain that none of the components of the
refrigerant circuit become damaged.
•
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance
is situated.
Safety of Children
•
Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous
for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packag-
ing material away from children!
•
Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal.
Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or
remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this
you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the
fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get
themselves into other dangerous situations.
18
•
Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in
household appliances. It is therefore important that you
ensure adequate supervision and never let children play
with the appliance!
Daily Operation
•
Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at
low temperatures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not
store any containers with flammable materials such as,
for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator.
•
Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the
refrigerator (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
•
Warning - Do not close the ventilation aperture in the
appliance casing or in the structure of fitted units.
•
Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other
artificial means to speed up defrosting unless they are
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the
appliance and unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch
off the circuit breaker.
•
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains
socket, do not pull on the cable.
In Case of Malfunction
•
If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look
first in the "What to do if ..." section of these instruc-
tions. If the information given there does not help,
please do not perform any further repairs yourself.
•
Refrigerators may only be repaired by qualified service
engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant
hazards. If your appliance needs repairing, please con-
tact your specialist dealer or our Customer Service.
