Refrigerant Gas Information 

IMPORTANT: 

This appliance is provided with refrigerant 

gas, ISOBUTHANE (R600a). When moving the appliance 

take care to ensure that it is not excessively struck or 

shaken. Failure to do so could damage the appliance.

Damage to the refrigerating circuit, with possible leaking of 

refrigerating gas, could create a risk of explosion caused by 

external sparks or flames.

In the Event of Accidental Leakage

Allow the material to evaporate providing that adequate 

ventilation is provided.

Behaviour of the Gas

This refrigerant gas is highly flammable so do not allow the 

gas to come into contact with hot surfaces or naked flames. 

Gas R600a is heavier than air: if released it forms a high 

concentration at floor level where ventilation is poor.

First Aid

Inhalation

Take the exposed person from the polluted area and carry 

them to a warm, well ventilated place.
Long exposure can cause the onset of asphyxia and 

possible loss of consciousness. If necessary, practice artificial 

respiration, and in the most serious cases, administer oxygen 

under close medical supervision.

Skin Contact

It is unlikely that occasional contact with the skin is 

dangerous. If this should happen thoroughly wash the 

affected zone.
Liquid splashes and atomised liquid can cause freezing burns. 

Wash the affected part with plenty of water and call a doctor 

to treat any burns.

Eye Contact

Wash with plenty of water, with eyelids well open, and call a 

specialist doctor as soon as possible.

In any event, should you inhale or come into contact with 

R600a gas, we advise you to consult your own doctor.
