1 Servicing Hydrocarbon
Overview
This cabinet uses hydrocarbon (HC) R290 as its refrigerant. R290 is a natural refrigerant that
has a very low environmental impact.
Special service requirements are needed, as R290 is a flammable refrigerant.
Safety hazards
The main hydrocarbon safety hazards are:
• Flammability
• Venting of hydrocarbon and compressor oil
• Asphyxiation
Service requirements
Do not interfere with the refrigeration system. All refrigeration maintenance and repairs must
be undertaken according to the SKOPE HC Service Requirements. See the “SKOPE HC
Service Requirements” below for more information, including examples of hazardous
activities.
Electrical safety precautions
Correct wiring routing is as important as using correct components for compliance with safety
and radio interference regulations. In order to maintain safety and compliance with regulations,
any wiring that is disturbed during servicing must be replaced and secured in its original
position.
