WARNINGS CONCERNING APPLIANCES CONTAINING REFRIGERANT
• This appliance contains R32 refrigerant, which is classed under category A2L as
mildly flammable (models PM40 MD1, MD2, MD3, MD4, MD5, TD7 and TD8).
• No not release R32 refrigerant (models PM40 MD1, MD2, MD3, MD4, MD5, TD7 and
TD8) or R410A refrigerant (models PM40 MD7, MD8, TD12) into the atmosphere.
These are fluorinated greenhouse gases, covered by the Kyoto Protocol, with a
Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675 for R32 and 2088 for R410A (European
regulation EU 517/2014).
• In order to comply with the applicable standards and regulations in terms of the
environment and installation, in particular French decree No. 2015-1790 and/or
