This appliance contains a small quantity of

Thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes.

The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger 
the room must be. Leaking refrigerant can form a 
flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too 
small. The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g of 
refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your 
appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the 
appliance.
