installation to prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being
damaged. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it
is explosive. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements,
move your fridge from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room
where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

While carrying and positioning the fridge, do not give damage to the cooler
gas circuit.
