Safety
The safety of our freezers is in accordance with recognised technolo-
gical standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel
that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
The freezer is intended for household use. It is suited for the freezing
and frozen storage of foods as well as the preparation of ice. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through
improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes
other than the freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe all
valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
Check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under
any circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your
supplier in the event of damage.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant
circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmen-
tal compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain
that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become
damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Safety for Children
Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for chil-
dren. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from
children!
Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove
plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap
or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children
lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place
themselves into other life-endangering situations.
