The safety of our freezers is in accordance with recognised technologi-
cal standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that
it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
• The freezer is intended for household use. It is suited for the refrige-
ration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the preparation
of ice. It is suited for the freezing and frozen storage of foods as well
as the preparation of ice.
• Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
• If you use the refrigerator/freezer in a commercial application or for
purposes other than the refrigeration, freezing or frozen storage of
foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
• Check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under
any circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your
supplier in the event of damage.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant
circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmen-
tal 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 for Children
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from
children!
• Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove
plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap
or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock
themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place them-
selves into other life-endangering situations.
