Information on coolant
Ammonia is used as a coolant. This is a natural
compound also used in household cleaning
agents (1 litre of Salmiak cleaner contains up
to 200g of ammonia - about twice as much as
is used in the refrigerator). Sodium chromate is
used for corrosion protection (1.8% by weight
of the solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from
the strong odour), proceed as follows:
• Switch off the appliance.
• Air the room thoroughly.
• Inform authorised customer services.
Note:
For your safety it was ascertained
in an expert’s report that no impairment
of health exists when the coolant is
discharged.
Operating the refrigerator with gas
It is imperative that the operating pressure
corresponds to the data specified on the rating
plate of the appliance. Compare the operating
pressure of the rating plate with the data
specified on the pressure reducing valve of the
liquid gas cylinder.
!
WARNING:
Operating the appliance with
gas is not permitted
• At petrol stations
• On ferry boats
• While transporting the caravan /
motorhome by a transporter or
breakdown vehicle.
