2.0FOR YOUR SAFETY
2.1
Warning and safety notices
Warning Attention
Never use a naked flame to check the appliance for leaks.
Protect children!
When disposing of the refrigerator, remove all refrigerator doors and leave the storage rack in the refrigerator. This will prevent accidental locking in or suffocation.
If you smell gas:
-close the locking tap of the gas supply and the valve on the cylinder.
-open the windows and leave the room.
-do not switch on anything electrical.
-extinguish naked flames.
Never open the cooling unit; it is under high pressure.
Work on the gas, flue system and electrical components must only be carried out by qualified service personnel.
It is imperative that the operating pressure should correspond to the data given on the model plate of the appliance.
Compare the operating pressure data given on the model plate with the data on the pressure monitor of the liquid gas cylinder.
Gas operation of the appliance is not permitted while travelling on ferries.
Covers ensure electrical safety and must only be removed using a tool.
The appliance must not be exposed to rain.
The refrigerator is not suitable for the proper storage of medications.
2.2Coolant
Ammonia is used as a coolant.
This is a natural compound also used in household cleaning agents (1 litre of Salmiak cleaner contains up to 200g of ammonia - about twice as much as is used in the refrigerator). Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (1.8% of the solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from the unpleasant odour):
Switch off the appliance.
Air the room thoroughly.
Inform the authorised Customer Service department.
