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 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

2

 in size for every 8g 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.
