IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

This freezer contains an environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant, R600a. There is
the danger of explosion if for any reason the refrigerant is allowed to escape from the system.
The refrigeration system must never be accessed by unauthorized personal. When
transporting and installing the unit, ensure that no part of the tubing system is damaged. If the
tubing is damaged and a leak occurs, avoid any ignition sources and naked flames near the
unit, and ventilate the room immediately. In order to avoid formation of flammable gas/air
mixtures in case of a leak from the refrigeration system, for every ounce of coolant at least
325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on
the data plate attached to the appliance.

DANGER!

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
 Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in

this appliance.

 This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as staff

kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environment farm houses and by clients
in hotels, motels and other residential type environments; bed and breakfast type
environments; catering and similar not-retail applications.

 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent

or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING!

 The ventilation openings must never be covered or blocked. Never use a water stream or

pressure cleaning device during cleaning or defrosting in order to avoid short circuits in
the electrical system.

 Do not place any electrical devices in the freezer.
 Products containing flammable gases and explosives must not be stored in the freezer.
 Avoid damaging the refrigerant tubing which would increase the risk of a leak.

DANGER! Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.

Before discarding your old refrigerator:

 Take off the doors
 Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
