Safety Measures and
Warnings
The coolant used in this unit is Isobutane
(R600a). Isobutane is a natural gas which is
compatible with the environment, however it
must be taken into account that it is an
inflammable gas. Therefore, when the
appliance is moved from one place to
another or when it is to be installed, ensure
that none of the components of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged. If any of
the parts should suffer any accidental
damage the unit must categorically not be
exposed to any live flame or igniting source,
and the place in which the appliance is
located must be left to ventilate for a few
minutes.
Disposing of the old appliance
When an old unit is no longer requiered,
please take precautions to render it
unserviceable immediately. Remove the plug
and cut the lead off. Disassemble the lock or

order to prevent the risk of children being
locked inside while they are playing, thus
endangering their life. Refrigerators and
freezers contain insulant gases and coolants
which must be disposed of in the
appropriate way. In addition, they are
manufactured with raw materials that may be
reused. Therefore, call your local Council

In the event of any doubts, contact your
Local Authority or consult your Distributor.
Take care to avoid the pipes being damaged
whilst the appliance awaits collection by the
