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 refrigeration 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.
Refrigerant is fl ammable 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 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 m³ per 8 g of re-
frigerant in compliance with the EN
378 standard. The amount of refrig-
erant contained in your appliance
can be found on the data sheet page
GB-31.
