Safety and warning
information
Before you switch on the
appliance
Please read the instructions for
installation and use carefully.
They contain important
information on how to install,
use and maintain the appliance.
The manufacturer is not liable if
you fail to comply with the
instructions and warnings from
the user manual. Retain all
documents for subsequent use
or for the next owner.
Technical safety
Fire hazard
The pipes of the
refrigeration circuit convey a
small quantity of an
environmentally friendly but
flammable refrigerant (R600a). It
does not damage the ozone
layer and does not contribute to
the greenhouse effect. If
refrigerant escapes, it may injure
your eyes or ignite.
If damage has occurred
■Keep naked flames and/or
ignition sources away from the
appliance,
■Thoroughly ventilate the room
for several minutes,
■Switch off the appliance and
pull out the mains plug,
■Inform customer service.
The more refrigerant an
appliance contains, the larger
the room must be in which the
appliance is situated. In rooms
which are too small, leaking
refrigerant can form a
flammable gas-air mixture.
At least 1 m³ of room space is
required per 8 g of refrigerant.
The amount of refrigerant in your
appliance is indicated on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
When installing the appliance,
check that the power cord is not
trapped or damaged.
If the power cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the
manufacturer, customer service
or a similarly qualified person.
Improper installations and
repairs may put the user at
considerable risk.
Repairs may be performed by
the manufacturer, customer
service or a similarly qualified
person only.

distances to a heat source:
■3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■30 cm to oil or coal-fired cookers.
The floor at the installation location must
not sag. If necessary, reinforce floor. If
necessary, compensate for floor
unevenness with underlays.
Distance from the wall
When installing the appliance, ensure a
door opening angle of 90°.
