Refrigerant
(CE) N 842/2006: This unit contains the refrigerant R290. The amount of refrigerant is less than 1kg and is in a closed cooling circuit. The coolant does have zero ozone depletion potential, but is a so-called greenhouse gas under the Kyoto Protocol and may thus contribute to global warming if it is released into the atmosphere. Therefore only trained technicians with refrigerant certificates make a filling or emptying. Your appliance does not have to be refilled with refrigerant if used properly and has an undamaged coolant circuit. GWP: R290: 3
