If there is a gas leakage
(isobutane, propane,
natural gas, etc.), do not
touch the appliance or power plug and
ventilate the area immediately. This appliance
uses a refrigerant gas (isobutane,R600a).
Although it uses a small amount of the gas, it
is still combustible gas. Gas leakage during
appliance transport, installation or operation
can cause fire, explosion or injury if sparks
are caused.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

This symbol alerts you to
flammable materials that can
ignite and cause a fire if you
do not take care.

• This appliance contains a small amount of
isobutane refrigerant (R600a), but it is also
combustible. When transporting and
installing the appliance, care should be
taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged.

• If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames
or potential sources of ignition and air the
room in which the appliance is standing for
several minutes. In order to avoid the
creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a
leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the
size of the room in which the appliance is
used should correspond to the amount of
refrigerant used. The room must be
1 m² in size for every 8 g of R600a
refrigerant inside the appliance.

• When positioning the appliance, ensure the
supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets

•
or portable power supplies at the rear of
the appliance.
