Information on coolant

Ammonia is used as a coolant.
This is a natural compound also used in hou-
sehold cleaning agents (1 litre of Salmiak
cleaner contains up to 200g of ammonia -
about twice as much as is used in the refrige-
rator). Sodium chromate is used for corrosion
protection (1.8% by weight of the solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from
the strong odour), proceed as follows:
- Switch off the appliance.
- Air the room thoroughly.
- Inform authorised customer services.
For your safety it was ascertained in an
expert's report that no impairment of health
exists when the coolant is discharged..
2.6 Operating the refrigerator
with gas
It is imperative that the operating pressure
corresponds to the data specified on the
rating plate of the appliance. Compare the
operating pressure of the rating plate with the
data specified on the pressure reducing valve
of the liquid gas cylinder.
The refrigerator is operated using the gases
and inlet pressures stated below. The pressu-
re reducing valve between the gas cylinder
and cooker to be used must comply with the
categories stated in the following table.
Connection pressure and gas categories
Category Pressure / mbar
I3B / P(30)
I3+ (28-30/37)
I3B/P(50)

If you smell gas :
Open all windows and leave the room.
Do not operate any electrical equipment
and prevent the use of naked flames.
Close the gas cylinder valve and leave it
closed until the fault has been rectified.
Contact authorised specialist personnel*
for advice.
