●Keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
●
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure
that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be
complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
●Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explosion, fire, death, electric shock, scalding or injury to persons, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Checks to the area
●
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or
vapour being present while the work is being performed.
Work procedure
●
All 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. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off.
Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.
General work area
●
The area shall 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, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Checking for presence of refrigerant
●If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration 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.
Presence of fire extinguisher
●This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
●If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
●Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
●The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating open flames (for example an operating
gas appliance) and ignition sources (for example an operating electric heater).
●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 refrigerants.
●The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
●Do not pierce or burn. Be aware that flammable refrigerants may not contain an odor.
●
The appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as
specified for operation.
●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.
If you want to know information of installation, Read Installation Manual.
Mechanical connections (mechanical connectors or flared joints) shall be accessible for maintenance purposes.
