R600a
This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a), which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it contribute to
greenhouse gases. Care must be taken during transportation and set up of the appliance. Make sure
to check that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may cause
personal injury.
In the event of any damage:
 Avoid open flames and anything that may create a spark.
 Disconnect from the main power supply.
 Vent the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes.
 Contact the EdgeStar Customer Service Department for advice.
 The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the
event of a leak, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases
building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the rating label in the lower left side of the
inner cabinet of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service
Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.
 Take serious care when handling, moving and using the appliance to avoid either damaging
the refrigerant tubing, or increasing the risk of a leak.
 Replacing component parts and servicing must be done by manufacturer authorized service
personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.
Risk of child entrapment!
Before discarding your old appliance:
 Take off the door(s).
 Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily crawl into the unit.
