							Introduction

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
2in 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.
