Hello, Luckily, thanks to places like eBay, manuals are now more easily and less expensively replaceable.

The manual is just going to tell you the total cooling system capacity. Are you sure there are NO markings at all? I believe that mine are embossed, but with no fill or outline. Look very carefully with a flashlight.
