your appliance.
Because these following•
operating instructions
cover various models, the
characteristics of your
refrigerator may differ slightly
from those described in this
manual. R-600a or R-134a is
used as a refrigerant. Check
the compressor label on the
rear of the appliance or the
rating label inside the fridge
to see which refrigerant is
used for your refrigerator.
When this product contains
flammable gas (Refrigerant
R-600a), contact your local
authority in regard to safe
disposal of this product.
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 may be sited
depends on the amount of
refrigerant used.
Never start up an appliance•
showing any signs of
damage. If in doubt, consult
your dealer. The room must
be 1 m³ in size for every 8 g
of R-600a refrigerant inside
the appliance.
