This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a
highly environmentally compatible, but combustible natural gas. When
transporting and installing the appliance, be careful not to damage any parts
of the refrigerating circuit. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite
or cause eye injuries. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or
potential sources of ignition and air in the room for several minutes.
In order to avoid creating a flammable gas air mixture when a leak in the
refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance stands
depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m2in 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 with
your dealer.
