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.
