explosion, which may be ignited by a spark or fl ame. If the appliance shows signs of damage, it must
not be put into operation. In such a case contact the service centre, ventilate the room where the
appliance is located and prevent the spreading of fl ames or other interference with the appliance.
Safety instructions for gas R600a
Measures in case of an unexpected release
If ventilation is possible, allow the material to evaporate.
Characteristics of the gas
The gas is highly fl ammable, it is necessary to completely prevent contact with an open fl ame and hot surfaces.
Because the R600a gas is heavier than air, it may become very concentrated at the level of the ground, where
ventilation is weak.
