Introduction
CAUTION
Violating these directions may cause injury or damage property. Please be
careful at all times.
Do not insert hands into the ice bucket or the ice
dispenser. Operating the ice maker may cause injury.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a
highly environmentally compatible, but combustible natural gas. When
transporting and installing the appliance, be careful not to damage any parts
of the refrigerating circuit. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite
or cause eye injuries. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or
potential sources of ignition and air in the room for several minutes.
In order to avoid creating a flammable gas air mixture when a leak in the
refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance stands
depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m
2
in size for
every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in
your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult with
your dealer.
In case of appliance enclosure or built-in structures, keep ventilation
openings clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require
special disposal procedures. When disposing, please consult with a service
agent or a similarly qualified person.
