safety information _03
For R600a refrigerant models only
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.
When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any
naked flames and move anything flammable
away from the product and ventilate the room
immediately.
Failing to do so may result in fire or explosion. 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. Never start up an
appliance showing any signs of damage. If in
doubt, consult your dealer. The room must be
1 m

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.
