 The meanings of the symbols used in this manual are as shown below.
DANGER
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This symbol alerts you to flammable materials that can ignite and cause a fire if you do not take care.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), but it is also combustible. When transporting
and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating 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.
Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.
Do not modify or extend the Power Cord length.
It will cause electric shock or fire.
Power Cord Replacement
When the power cord or the power plug is damaged or the holes of the outlet are loosed,
do not use them.
It may cause electric shock or short circuit to make fire.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

About earthing
In the event of an electric short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current.
