Capacities for refrigerant R1234yf
Total capacity
460 ± 15 grammes
Note
A tolerance of ± 15 g is permissible although not indicated on the
identification plate.

Capacities for refrigerant R134a
Total capacity
500 ± 15 g
Note
A tolerance of ± 15 g is permissible although not indicated olnk the

Refrigerant oil
Depending on the manufacturer, different refrigerant oils are
used; part number ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA) .
Refrigerant oil is very hygroscopic. Therefore refrigerant oils from
containers which have been open for a longer period of time are
unusable.
– Reseal open containers immediately to protect against ingress
of moisture.

Oil distribution
♦ During operation of the air conditioner, the refrigerant oil in the
air conditioner compressor prior to initial operation is distrib‐
uted throughout the refrigerant circuit.
♦ The distribution of the refrigerant oil depends on the operating
mode of the air conditioner when it was switched off, the am‐
