Special safety instructions
CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE! The refrigerant
•
used is R290. It is a flammable refrigerant
which is environmentally friendly. Although
it is flammable, it does not damage the
ozone layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant
has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the
appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might
be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is
unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the per-
formance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the
transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of
the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage
the eyes.
• The foam blowing agent used is Cyclopentane in this appli-
ance. It is highly flammable.
• CAUTION! RISK OF BURNS! Refrigerant liquid sprayed on the
skin can cause critical burns. Keep eyes and skin protected.
If refrigerant burns occur, rinse immediately with cold water.
In case burns are severe, apply ice and contact medical treat-
ment immediately.
• WARNING! Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
• WARNING! Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• WARNING! Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not place any dangerous products, such as fuel, alcohol,
paint, aerosol cans with a flammable propellant, flammable or
explosive substances, etc. inside or near the appliance.
• Once installed, the appliance must not be tilted at an angle
greater than 5° and it is necessary to wait 12h before connect-
ing it to the power supply to switch it on. The same applies if
the appliance is moved afterwards.
• If the appliance has been switched off or disconnected from
the power supply, it is necessary to wait 5 minutes until switch-
ing on again.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the man-
ufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
