This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas that is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance so that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Notes on daily use

• Do not put hot food in the machine.
• Do not place food directly against the rear panel.
• Frozen food must not be refrozen after defrosting.
• Store packaged frozen food according to the instructions of the frozen food manufacturer.
• Do not place carbonated fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the pressure they generate can cause them to explode and damage the appliance.
• Open the door as rarely as possible.
• Do not leave the door open too long.
• Do not set the thermostat too low.
• To reduce energy consumption, leave all accessories, such as drawers, shelves, or racks in the appliance.

Notes on installation

• Unpack the machine and check for damage. Do not connect the machine if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the manufacturer. Save the original packaging for the possible return shipment.
• Wait at least four hours before connecting the unit to allow the coolant to distribute itself in the cooling circuit.
• Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation around the unit. Otherwise, the unit may overheat.
• If possible, the spacers on the unit should rest against the wall. This prevents burns caused by touching the hot compressor or condenser.
• The unit must not be installed near radiators or cookers.
• Make sure that the mains plug is always accessible after the unit has been installed.
