Safety instructions
This appliance complies with the relevant
safety regulations for electrical appliances and
is fitted with noise suppression.
The refrigeration circuit has been checked for
leaks.
About these instructions
▯ Read and follow the operating and
installation instructions. They contain
important information on how to install, use
and maintain the appliance.
▯ The manufacturer is not liable if you
disregard the instructions and warnings in
the operating and installation instructions.

manufacturer only.
The manufacturer guarantees that these
parts satisfy the safety requirements.
Risk of cold burns
▯ Never put frozen food straight from the
freezer compartment into your mouth.
▯ Avoid prolonged contact of skin with frozen
food, ice and the tubes in the freezer
compartment.
Risk of injury
▯ Retain all documents for subsequent use or
for the next owner.
Risk of explosion
▯ Never use electric devices inside the
appliance (e.g. heaters or electric ice
makers).
▯ Do not store products which contain

Danger due to refrigerants
The tubes 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 increase
the greenhouse effect. If refrigerant escapes, it
may injure your eyes or ignite.
▯ Do not damage the tubes.
If the tubes are damaged:
