This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), 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

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
