spite of being Environment friendly & Non
flammable, it may cause irritation to skin, eyes
with small amount of vapor, hence proper
ventilation across the Refrigerator area is must.
(2) Natural GAs
(isobutene, R600a) is the environmentfriendly refrigerant,
even a small amount
(80~90g) is
combustible. When
the gas is leaked by
the severe damage during delivering, installing

* If the gas used is R600a -
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, 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. Refrigerant squirting
out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. 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 may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room
must be 1m in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in
your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
