Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

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 is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m² in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.Refrigerant leaking out of the pipes could ignite or cause an explosion.The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
