Important Technical Specifications
While specific detailed technical specifications like dimensions, energy consumption class, or noise level are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, the manual does highlight several key aspects:
- Refrigerant and Insulation: The appliance contains non-CFC/HFC natural substances (R600a) in the cooling system and cyclopentane in the insulation, both of which are potentially flammable if exposed to fire. This emphasizes the importance of careful handling and proper ventilation.
- Electrical Requirements: The appliance requires connection to a grounded socket with an appropriate fuse capacity. The voltage and frequency must match those shown on the rating plate. A 13A fuse is incorporated in the moulded plug.
- Freezing Capacity: The appliance has a freezing capacity of 5 kg in 24 hours for fresh food.
- Minimum Operating Temperature: The product cannot be used in rooms where the temperature drops below 5°C.
