Always make sure that air can circulate around the appliance for ventilation purposes!
• To comply with the EN 378 standard the position in
which you erect your appliance must indicate a volume of 1 m for each 8g of R600a coolant3 so that in the event of a leak from the coolant circuit a flammable gas/air mixture cannot arise inside the room where the appliance is positioned. Please see the type plate inside the appliance for information regarding the quantity of coolant.
• Please also see the appendix of the installation instructions.
