CAUTION! Risk of fire! The refrigerant used is R600a. It is a flammable natural gas which is environmentally friendly. It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leakage coolant can damage the eyes.

• The foam blowing agent used is Cyclopentane in this appliance. It is highly flammable.
