Until the point of proper disposal, en-
■
sure that none of the cooling fi ns or
tubes on a refrigerating appliance are

To prevent the formation of a fl am-
■
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 m³ per 8 g of
refrigerant in compliance with the
EN 378 standard. The amount of re-
frigerant contained in your appliance
can be found on the type plate of
your device
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.
