Only connect the appliance to a prop-
■
erly installed and earthed electric

Dangers from the refrigerant!
Your appliance's refrigeration circuit
contains the environmentally friend-
ly, but fl ammable refrigerant R600a
(isobutane).
Mechanical intervention in the refrig-
■
eration system must only be carried
out by authorised specialists.
Do not damage the refrigerant cir-
■
cuit, for example, by piercing the re-
frigerant channels of the condensate
evaporator with sharp objects, bend-
ing the piping, cutting open the insu-
lation, etc.
The refrigerant is fl ammable when
■
spurting out and can damage the
eyes. In this case, rinse your eyes in
clean water and seek medical assis-
tance immediately.
To prevent the formation of a fl am-
■
mable gas-air mixture in the event of
a leakage in the refrigeration circuit,
the installation space must have a
minimum size of 1 m
frigerant in compliance with the EN
378 standard. The amount of refrig-
erant contained in your appliance
can be found on the data sheet (see
„Technical specifications" on page
EN-25).
