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 1 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.
