The refrigerant is isobutane (R600a). It is combustible. Specific safety protocols exist.

  • When handling or operating, avoid damage to the refrigerant tubing.
  • Keep all ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
  • Only service should be performed by factory-authorized personnel using manufacturer-supplied replacement parts.
  • Disposal must follow Federal and Local Regulations. Contact local authorities for environmentally safe disposal.
