• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

• Do not use electrical appliances inside the refrigerator.

• The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. Consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person before disposing of them.

• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications only. It should not be used for commercial, or catering purposes, or in any mobile application such as a caravan or boat.

• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

This symbol alerts you to flammable materials that can ignite and cause a fire if you do not take care.

• This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), 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.

• When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

• Do not locate multiple portable outlet-sockets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

• 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 is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m² in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.

• Refrigerant leaking out of the pipes could ignite or cause an explosion.

• The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.

Installation

• This appliance should only be transported by two or more people holding the appliance securely.

• Install the appliance on a firm and level floor.

• Do not install the appliance in a damp and dusty place. Do not install or store the appliance in any outdoor area, or any area that is subject to weathering conditions such as direct sunlight, wind, rain, or temperatures below freezing.

• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or expose it to the heat from heating appliances such as stoves or heaters.

• Be careful not to expose the rear of the appliance when installing.

• Install the appliance in a place where is easy to unplug the power plug of the appliance.
