Information requirements

Note:
The leaking of coolant contributes towards climatic change. Cooling with a low greenhouse potential make, in the event of leakage, a smaller contribution towards the warming of the earth than those with a higher greenhouse potential. This device contains a coolant with a greenhouse poten-tial of 3. Thus, the leaking of 1 kg of this cool-ant would have 3 times greater effect on the warming of the earth than 1 kg CO2, related to one hundred years. Do not carry out work on the cooling circuits or dismantle the device. Always consult a specialist.
