• Avoid naked flames and ignition sources.

WARNING!
Risk of injury!
There is a risk of injury if the refrigerant isobutane (R600a) leaks.

• WARNING! Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Have the appliance repaired by a qualified technician before using it again?
• If the refrigeration system has been damaged, ventilate the room.
• If refrigerant comes into contact with the skin or eyes, this can lead to injuries. Immediately rinse the eyes with plain water and consult a doctor.
• Set up the appliance in a dry and ventilated room. The room should be around 4 m² to enable sufficient ventilation if the cooling system becomes damaged.
• Tampering with the refrigerant circuit is prohibited and voids the warranty.
• Where possible, transport the appliance upright. Avoid tilting the appliance by more than 45° during transport.
• Before using the ice cube maker for the first time, wait 2 hours after you have set it up. Leave the water tank cover open for at least 2 hours.
