Safety - AEG SANTO Operating Instructions Manual

Safety

The safety of our refrigerators/freezers is in accordance with recognised
technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We neverthe-
less feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety
guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
• The refrigerator/freezer is intended for household use. It is suited for
the refrigeration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the
preparation of ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than
those intendet or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the
manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.
• Alterations or changes to the refrigerator/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 sup-
plier in the event of damage.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant cir-
cuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
• 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 child-
ren. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from child-
ren!
• 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.
