Technical safety

m Warning

This appliance contains a small quantity of environmentally-friendly but flammable R600a refrigerant. Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged during transportation and installation. Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.

If damage has occurred

zKeep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from the appliance,

zpull out the mains plug,

zthoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,

znotify customer service.

The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be. Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small.

The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance.

Important information when using the appliance

zNever use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e. g. heater, etc.).

Risk of explosion!

zNever use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the appliance! The steam may penetrate electrical parts and cause a short-circuit.

Risk of electric shock!

zDo not store products which contain flammable propellants (e. g. spray cans) or explosive substances in the appliance.

Risk of explosion!

zDo not stand or support yourself on the base, drawers or doors, etc.

zUse the motorised compartment carefully.

zFor cleaning and exchanging the bulb, pull the mains plug out or switch off the fuse. Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging the cable.

zWarning: When the appliance is switched off using the temperature setting (Display: OFF), the supply of current is not disrupted.

zBottles which contain a high percentage of alcohol must be sealed and stored in an upright position.

zKeep plastic parts and the door seal free of oil and grease. Otherwise, parts and door seal will become porous.

zNever cover or block the ventilation openings for the appliance.

zPeople who have limited physical, sensory or mental abilities or inadequate knowledge must not use this appliance unless they are supervised or given meticulous instructions.

zOnly customer service may change the power cord and carry out any other repairs. Improper installations and repairs may put the user at considerable risk.

zOnly original parts supplied by the manufacturer may be used. The manufacturer guarantees that only these parts satisfy the safety requirements.
