enInstruction for Use

Safety and warning

information

Before you switch ON the

appliance

Please read the operating and

installation instructions carefully!

They contain important

information on how to install,

use and maintain the appliance.

The manufacturer is not liable if

you fail to comply with the

instructions and warnings.

Retain all documents for

subsequent use or for the next

owner.

Technical safety

Fire hazard

The tubes of the

refrigeration circuit convey a

small quantity of an

environmentally friendly but

flammable refrigerant (R600a). It

does not damage the ozone

layer and does not increase the

greenhouse effect. If refrigerant

escapes, it may injure your eyes

or ignite.

If damage has occurred

■Keep naked flames and/or

ignition sources away from the

appliance,

■thoroughly ventilate the room

for several minutes,

■switch off the appliance and

pull out the mains plug,

■inform customer service.

The more refrigerant an

appliance contains, the larger

the room must be in which the

appliance is situated. Leaking

refrigerant can form a

flammable gas-air mixture in

rooms which are too small.

The room must be at least 1 m³

per 8 g of refrigerant. The

amount of refrigerant in your

appliance is indicated on the

rating plate inside the appliance.

When installing the appliance,

ensure that the mains cable is

not trapped or damaged.

If the power cord of this

appliance is damaged, it must

be replaced by the

manufacturer, Customer Service

or a similarly qualified person.

Improper installations and

repairs may put the user at

considerable risk.

Repairs may be performed by

the manufacturer, customer

service or a similarly qualified

person only.

Only original parts supplied by

the manufacturer may be used.

The manufacturer guarantees

that only these parts satisfy the

safety requirements.

Do not use multiple sockets,

extension leads or adapters.

Fire hazard

power supplies may overheat,

causing a fire.

Never leave portable multiple

outlets or portable power

supplies behind the appliance.

inadequate, never use multiple sockets

or extension leads. Instead, please

contact Customer Service for

alternatives.

The appliance complies with protection

class I. Connect the appliance to 220–

240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a

correctly installed socket with protective

conductor. The socket must be protected

by a 10 A to 16 A fuse.
