Electrocution hazard
• Installation and removal of the refrigerator may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
• Do not operate the refrigerator if it is visibly damaged.
• This refrigerator may only be repaired by qualified personnel. Improper repairs can result in consid-
erable danger or damage to the refrigerator.
• If this refrigerator's power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent safety hazards.
• When positioning the refrigerator, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
• If the device is powered by the mains, ensure that the power supply has a residual current circuit
breaker (RCCB) or a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Installation, especially in potentially
damp areas, must be in accordance with all applicable installation regulations.
Fire hazard
• The refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is highly flammable and in the event of a leakage combusti-
ble gases could build up if the appliance is in a small room.
In the event of any damage to the refrigerant circuit:
– Keep naked flames and potential ignition sources away from the refrigerator.
– Ventilate the room well.
– Switch off the refrigerator.
For refrigerators with R600a refrigerant:
• The refrigeration circuit contains a small quantity of an environmentally friendly but flammable refrig-
erant. It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. Any leak-
ing refrigerant may ignite.
• Do not use or store the refrigerator in confined spaces with none or minimal air flow.
• The insulation of the refrigerator contains flammable cyclopentane and requires special disposal
procedures. Deliver the refrigerator at the end of its life-cycle to an appropriate recycling center.
