Disposal of the Appliance
Freon-free
The freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and the foaming insulation material
(cyclopentane) that is environmentally friendly are used for the refrigerator,
causing no damage to the ozone layer and having a very small impact on the
global warming. R600a is flammable, and sealed in a refrigeration system,
without leakage during normal use. But, in case of refrigerant leakage due to
the refrigerant circuit being damaged, be sure to keep the appliance away
from open flames and open the windows for ventilation as quickly as
possible.
