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.
