that mechanical connections shall be accessible for maintenance purposes;
Maximum refrigerant charge amount (M): 0.19kg
Dispose of refrigerant based on local regulations, properly processed;
Minimum oor area of the room: 10 m
Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction;
An unventilated area where the appliance using ammable refrigerants is installed shall be so constructed that should any
