If the refrigerant circuit should be damaged:
• Avoid opening near flames and sources of ignition.
• Thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the
components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
avoid open flames and sources of ignition, thoroughly ventilate the room in which the
appliance is situated.
The instructions shall include the warnings:
WARNING—Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.

Safety of children
Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!
Make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the
mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you
ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is
risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.
Often children cannot recognize the hazards present in household appliances. It is
therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let children play
with the appliance!

risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as
spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator and/or freezer.
Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator and/or freezer (e.g.
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull
the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
