Refrigerant Gas Information
IMPortant: This appliance is provided with refrigerant gas, ISOBUTHANE (R600a). When moving the appliance take care to ensure that it is not excessively struck or shaken. Failure to do so could damage the appliance.
Damage to the refrigerating circuit, with possible leaking of refrigerating gas, could create a risk of explosion caused by external sparks or flames.
In the event of accidental leakage
Allow the material to evaporate if there is adequate ventilation.
Behaviour of the gas
This refrigerant gas is highly flammable so do not allow the gas to come into contact with hot surfaces or naked flames. Gas R600a is heavier than air: if released it forms a high concentration at floor level where ventilation is poor.
First aid
Inhalation
Take the exposed person from the polluted area and carry them to a warm, well ventilated place.
Long exposure can cause the onset of asphyxia and possible loss of consciousness. If necessary, practice artificial respiration, and in the most serious cases, administer oxygen under close medical supervision.
Skin contact
It is unlikely that occasional contact with the skin is dangerous. If this should happen, thoroughly wash the affected zone.
Liquid splashes and atomised liquid can cause freezing burns. Wash the affected part with plenty of water and call a doctor to treat any burns.
Eye contact
Wash with plenty of water, with eyelids well open, and call a specialist doctor as soon as possible.
In any event, should you inhale or come into contact with r600a gas, we advise you to consult your own doctor.
