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 1m2 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 with your dealer.
