WARNINGS
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
• The appliance may not be installed close to combustible materials, or the air duct inlet of an adjacent building.
• Do not install in an environment which has operating or potential ignition sources.
• In the event of a leak, escaping refrigerant may mix with air to form a flammable atmosphere. There is a risk of fire
and explosion.
• Only carry out the work if you are competent and have knowledge about the special features and risks of R290
refrigerant.
• During installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance, pipes may not be used as steps: the pipe could break under
the weight, spilling coolant and possibly causing serious burns
• When servicing the appliance, the composition and state of the heat transfer fluid must be checked, as well as the
absence of any traces of coolant.
• During the appliance's annual sealing test in accordance with applicable legislation, the high and low pressure
switches must be checked to ensure that they are securely fastened to the cooling circuit and that they cut off the
electrical circuit when tripped.
• During maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around the cooling components.
• Before beginning work on the cooling circuit, stop the appliance and wait for a few minutes before fitting the
temperature and pressure sensors. Some elements such as the compressor and piping may reach temperatures in
excess of 100°C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe burns.
REFRIGERANT SPECIFICATIONS
Area check
• Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that
the risk of ignition is minimized.
Work procedure
• Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being
present while the work is being performed.
General work area
• AIl maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried
out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided.
Check for the presence of refrigerant
• The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician
is aware of potentially toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Check for the presence of a fire extinguisher
• If any work involving heat is to be conducted on the refrigerating equipment or any associated parts, appropriate
fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2, fire extinguisher adjacent to the
charging area.
No source of ignition
• No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigerating system which involves exposing any pipe work shall use
any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources,
including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing
and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place,
the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks.
''No Smoking'' signs shall be displayed.
Area ventilation
• Prior to penetrating the unit in any way to perform any required service, ensure that the area is open and adequately
ventilated. Proper ventilation, to allow for safe dispersion of any refrigerant which may be inadvertently released to
the atmosphere, should be maintained while service is being performed on the unit.
