WARNINGS
REFRIGERANT SPECIFICATIONS
Area check
• Prior to beginning work on systems containing ammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that
the risk of ignion is minimized.
Work procedure
• Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a ammable gas or vapor being
present while the work is being performed.
General work area
• AIl maintenance sta and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried
out. Work in conned 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 potenally toxic or ammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detecon 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 re exnguisher
• If any work involving heat is to be conducted on the refrigerang equipment or any associated parts, appropriate
re exnguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2, re exnguisher adjacent to the
charging area.
No source of ignion
• No person carrying out work in relaon to a refrigerang system which involves exposing any pipe work shall use
any sources of ignion in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of re or explosion. All possible ignion sources,
including cigaree smoking, should be kept suciently far away from the site of installaon, 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 ammable hazards or ignion risks.
‘‘No Smoking’’ signs shall be displayed.
Area venlaon
• Prior to penetrang the unit in any way to perform any required service, ensure that the area is open and adequately
venlated. Proper venlaon, 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.
Declaraon of conformity

PRODUCT INFORMATION FOR PRODUCTS WITH CONNECTIVITY (Under RED Directive)
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
• Only a person qualied in the technical elds concerned (electricity, hydraulics or refrigeraon) is authorized to
carry out installaon, maintenance or repair work on the appliance
• The appliance may not be installed close to combusble materials, or the air duct inlet of an adjacent building.
• When servicing the appliance, the composion and state of the heat transfer uid must be checked, as well as the
absence of any traces of coolant.
• During the appliance’s annual sealing test in accordance with applicable legislaon, the high and low pressure
switches must be checked to ensure that they are securely fastened to the cooling circuit and that they cut o 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 ng 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.
