WARNING & SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read this manual carefully; it provides important information about the safety, installation use and
maintenance of the appliance. This appliance must only be used for the purpose of which it is designed: the
cool storage of food. Any other use must be considered improper and thus dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be considered responsible for any damage caused by improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.
This appliance contains Isobutane (R600a), an environmentally friendly coolant which does not damage the
ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. However it is flammable and as such, care must
be taken during transportation and installation to ensure no part of the cooling system is damaged. In the
event of any damage:
- disconnect the mains supply to the appliance
- avoid anything which creates a spark
- air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes (to ensure there is no gas
build up, there should be at least 1m 3 of room space for every 8g of coolant).
- contact a qualified technician as soon as possible
The use of this environmentally friendly coolant has led to a slight increase in noise level. In addition to the
noise of the compressor, the coolant flowing around the system may be heard. This is unavoidable, but does
not affect the performance to the appliance.
