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 if there is adequate

ventilation.

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.
