If the appliance is in a space that is too small, a leak in the refrigeration circuit may result in a flammable mix­ture of gas and air.
▶
Only install the appliance in a
space with a volume of at least
1m3 per 8g refrigerant. The
volume of refrigerant is indicated
on the rating plate. →"Appliance",
Fig. 1 /5, Page13
The weight of the appliance ex works may be up to 75kg depending on the model. The subfloor must be sufficiently stable to bear the weight of the appli­ance.

Permitted room temperature
