wWARNING
wKeep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.
wDo not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
wDo not damage the refrigerant circuit.
wDo not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
wThe refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special
disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a
similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant
(R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is
also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance,
care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a
leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and
air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the
refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be
sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 in
size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of
refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate
inside the appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult
your dealer.
