Coolants

Danger!
Environmental hazard!
This unit contains R 407 C coolant. The
coolant must not be allowed to escape
into the atmosphere. R 407 C is a fluori-
nated, chlorine-free greenhouse gas that
has been included in the Kyoto Protocol,
with a GWP of 1653 (GWP = Global
Warming Potential).
Before the appliance is disposed of, the
coolant it contains must be completely
drained into a suitable vessel so that it
can then be recycled or disposed of in
accordance with the regulations.
The relevant work in connection with the
coolant may only be carried out by offi-
cially certified specialists.
Danger!
Risk of injury from freezing as a result
of contact with the R 407 C coolant!
Escaping coolant can cause freezing if
the exit point is touched:
Do not inhale gases or vapours emana-
ting from leaks in the coolant circuit.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Note
R 407 C coolant presents no danger
during normal use and under normal
conditions. With improper use, however,
it can cause injury and damage.
