Servicing Safety Precautions
Please carefully follow this guidance when undertaking any servicing on
this appliance. Any servicing must be carried out by a suitably qualified and
registered individual.
Prior to beginning work, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of
ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, all of the following
precautions must be complied with prior to conducting work.
Work Procedure
Work must be undertaken under a controlled procedure to minimize the risk of a
flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
General Work Area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area must be instructed on
the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces must be avoided.
The area around the workspace must be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions
within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.
Checking for Presence of Refrigerant
The area must be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to
and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable
atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for
use with flammable refrigerants, e.g. no sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically
safe.
Presence of Fire Extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be available to
hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
No Ignition Sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves
exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant
