Cyclopentane or pentane as gas for insulation and R600a as refrigerant. Insulation gases and refrigerant require a special
elimination process. This product contains flam-mable insulation and refrigerant.
DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed. The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in your Bulletin of
Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes that:
"...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)".
"...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be frozen or consumed.
Consumption of melted ice cream should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is questionable, discard it. The food
may be dangerous to consume".
"Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.
The quality of red meat is less affected than that of other foods. Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to
maintain their quality".

circuit are damaged.
•If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes. 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 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.
•When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
