Safety instructions
This unit contains the
coolant isobutane (R 600a),
a natural gas which is very
environmentally friendly but also
combustible. When transporting and
installing the unit care must be taken to
ensure that none of the refrigeration
circuit components become damaged. In
the event of damage avoid naked flames
or ignition sources and ventilate the room
in which the unit is placed for a few
minutes.
How to dispose of the old unit
Before disposing of an old, scrap unit no
longer in use, it is imperative to render it
safe and inoperative at once. Disconnect
power supply plug and cut off connection
lead. Remove or destroy all spring, latch
or bolt-locks, ensuring that these have
been made totally unserviceable. This will
prevent the danger of children locking
themselves in inadvertently.
Please observe refrigeration and freezer
units contain insulating gases and
coolants which require specialised waste
disposal. They also contain valuable
materials which can be recycled. Entrust
the disposal of a scrap unit categorically
to the competence of your local waste
disposal service and contact your local
authority or your dealer if you have any
questions. Please ensure that the
pipework of your refrigerating unit does
not get damaged prior to being picked-up
by the relevant waste disposal service,
and contribute to environmental
awareness by insisting on an appropriate,
anti-pollution method of disposal.
Our contribution towards a cleaner
environment- we use recycled paper.
