•Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. A refrigerant with lower global
warming potential (GWP) would contribute less to global warming than a refrigerant
with higher GWP if leaked into the atmosphere. This air conditioner contains a
refrigerant fluid with a GWP equal to 675. This means that if 1 kg of this refrigerant
fluid was leaked into the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be 675
times higher than 1 kg of CO2, over a period of 100 years.
•This air conditioner contains fluorinated greenhouse gases.
•Note the specifications on the fuse printed on the circuit board.
WARNING: Immediately stop operation, cut off the power supply, and contact
help.Kogan.com in the following situations:
