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.

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