The more coolant there is in an 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.
Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed

quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
