This appliance contains a small amount
of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a
natural gas with high environmental
compatibility, but it is 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. If a leak is detected,
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of
ignition and air the room in which the appliance
is standing for several minutes.
• 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.
The room must be 1m
3
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.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of
damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
