The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the
appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible
gases building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1 m
3
of room
space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated
on the data plate inside the appliance.
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data
plate corresponds to the household supply.
