a natural gas with low environmental. Caution is

required, however, since isobutane is

flammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure

that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

This product may contain Fluorinated

Greenhouse Gases covered by the Kyoto

Protocol; the refrigerant gas is inside a

hermetically sealed system.

Refrigerant gas: R134a has a Global Warming
