(R600a), 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.
• 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
