FOR HYDROCARBON REFRIGERATION UNITS
WARNING
• Handle the unit with care in order to avoid any serious damage to the refrigeration
system.
• The refrigerant tubing, condenser, and evaporator coils are prone to damage
while handling, moving, installing, and cleaning the unit, which may lead to fire or
even explosion.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak
is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the
room in which the appliance is located.
• To avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air mixture from a leaking refrigerating
circuit, the size of the room in which the appliance is placed depends on the
amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 35.31ft
3 (
1m³) in size for every
0.28oz (8g) of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in
your particular appliance is shown on the label inside the cabinet.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. When in doubt, contact
a qualified service professional.
• In case of any hazardous activities such as fire or explosion, move the unit away
from any source of ignition to a well ventilated area.
• Further service and repair must be done by a qualified technician who is familiar
with the safety standards, and also has thorough understanding and knowledge
of the flammable refrigerants.
• Any individuals handling these units must be equipped with proper personal
protection and equipment and follow applicable safety measures and precautions
to avoid risk of fire or explosion.
This appliance contains a small amount of propane (R-290) or isobutane
(R-600a) refrigerant, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility,
but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance,
ensure that no part of the refrigerating circuit is damaged.
