For example, do not use any electric
heating equipment, knives or devices
with an open flame such as a candle.
The thermal insulation and the interi-
or are scratch and heat-sensitive and
can melt.
Do not use electrical appliances in-
■
side the food storage compartments
of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
Keep the appliance away from open
■
flames and hot surfaces.
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
■
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
■
cuit, e.g. by puncturing the refrigerant
channels of the condensate evapora-
tor with sharp objects, bending the
piping, or cutting open the insulation.
Ensure that none of the cooling fins
■
or tubes on a refrigerator are dam-
aged prior to the point of proper dis-
posal.
Refrigerant is flammable when spurt-
■
ing out and can damage the eyes. In
this case, rinse your eyes in clean wa-
ter and seek medical assistance im-
mediately.
To prevent the formation of a flam-
■
mable gas-air mixture in the event
of a leakage in the refrigeration cir-
cuit, the installation space must have
a minimum size of 1 m
refrigerant in compliance with the
EN 378 standard. The amount of re-
frigerant contained in your appliance
can be found on the type plate.
To avoid the formation of sparks, do
■
not pull out the mains plug in the
event of a gas leak.
Dispose of old electrical appliances
■
at an authorised collection or return
point.
Only use original accessories.
