The more coolant there is in a unit, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the unit 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 unit
is stated on the data plate inside the unit. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service
Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this piece of equipment.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances
are still dangerous, even if they
will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
Before discarding your old refrigerator:
o
Take off the doors
o
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside
