Compressor label on the rear of the appliance and the
rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerator
is used for your refrigerator.
This appliance contains a small amount of
isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas
with high environmental compatibility that is,
however, 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 mix-
ture 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 1m3 in size for every 8 g 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 dam-
age. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
