by the manufacturer.
10. Do not use tools different from those recommended by the manufacturer when defrosting and
cleaning the appliance.
11. If the appliance is installed, used or stored in a non-ventilated area, the room must be designed to
prevent the accumulation of refrigerant leaks with the consequent fire or explosion hazard due to
the refrigerant combustion caused by electrical heaters, stoves or others sources of ignition.
12. Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.
13. Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
14. The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
15. Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a
current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorises their
competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognised assessment
specification.
16. Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be
carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable re-
frigerants.
17. TRANSPORT OF EQUIPMENT CONTAINING FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS
See transport regulations.
18. MARKING OF EQUIPMENT USING SIGNS
