Special safety instructions
• This appliance is intended for buffet and household use.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
• CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE! The refrigerant
used is R290. It is a flammable refrigerant
which is environmentally friendly. Al-
though it is flammable, it does not dam-
age 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 lev-
el of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor,
you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the sys-
tem. 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 that
no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant
can damage the eyes.
• CAUTION! RISK OF BURNS! Refrigerant liquid sprayed on the
skin can cause critical burns. Keep eyes and skin protected.
If refrigerant burns occur, rinse immediately with cold water.
In case burns are severe, apply ice and contact medical treat-
ment immediately.
• WARNING! Provide sufficient ventilation in the surrounding
structure when building-in. Never block the air flow suction
and air outlet in order to keep air circulation.
• WARNING! Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
• WARNING! Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• WARNING! Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not place any dangerous products, such as fuel, alcohol,
paint, aerosol cans with a flammable propellant, flammable
or explosive substances, etc. inside or near the appliance.
• Once installed, the appliance must not be tilted at an angle
greater than 5° and it is necessary to wait 2h before connect-
ing it to the power supply to switch it on. The same applies if
