transportation and installation to prevent the cooler elements from
being damaged. R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural
gas, but it is explosive. In the event of a leak due to damage of the
cooler elements, move your fridge away from open flames or heat
sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a
few minutes.
• While carrying and positioning the fridge, do not damage the
refrigerant gas circuit.
