Before
Servicing
Overview
Some models in the ReFlex Upright Series use hydrocarbon (HC) R290
Propane as their refrigerant. Refer to the cabinet rating label inside the
cabinet to determine refrigerant type before servicing.
Ensure you have read and understand this manual before commencing with
refrigeration cartridge servicing.
Important. Ensure the following before servicing:
Only technicians contracted to SKOPE hydrocarbon service policy
may service SKOPE HC refrigeration systems.
SKOPE HC refrigeration systems must only be serviced by
appropriately skilled refrigeration mechanics.
Servicing of sealed HC refrigeration system must be completed at a
HC workshop/service area with dedicated HC equipment and
personal protective equipment.
All local HC storage and handling regulations and procedures must be
adhered to at all times.
Ensure all electronic controller alarms diagnostics and refrigeration system
diagnostics are performed to confirm a refrigeration system fault is present.
Do NOT open the refrigeration system. Check all components such as the
electronic controller and electrical systems. If a sealed system fault is
suspected, the system must not be opened; it must be sent to a SKOPE
approved service depot for repair.
Safety hazards
The main HC safety hazards are:
Flammable refrigerant.
Venting of hydrocarbon and compressor oil.
Asphyxiation.
Refrigerant identification
The cabinet rating label (located inside the cabinet) states the refrigerant
type. In addition to this, warning labels are fitted to hydrocarbon refrigeration
cabinets to indicate the use of R290 refrigerant.
Personal Protective Equipment
Ensure all required P.P.E. is used correctly during servicing.
HC service equipment
All refrigeration service tools must be HC compliant and any electrical
equipment that could be exposed to the refrigerant must be intrinsically safe.
ONLY dedicated HC service equipment may be used.
In addition to standard tools for accessing and removing parts, specialist
tools are required when completing HC refrigeration system service tasks
detailed in this manual:
Intrinsically safe vacuum pump.
IMPORTANT
Use only dedicated SKOPE OEM spare parts.
DO NOT use alternative parts.
For safety compliance, only SKOPE supplied components specified
for the appliance shall be used for repairs.
