WARNING
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), but it is also combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that any part of the
refrigerating circuit is 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 placed 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 placed depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m² in size for every
8 grams of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification label inside the
appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your service center.
