• Handling
ATTENTION!
Users and maintenance personnel must be adequately informed about
the risks of handling potentially toxic substances. Failure to observe
the aforesaid indications may cause personal injury or damage the
unit.
Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of vapour. The atmospheric con-
centration must be reduced as far as possible and maintained at this mi-
nimum level, below professional exposure limits. The vapours are heavier
than air, and thus hazardous concentrations may form close to the floor,
where overall ventilation may be poor. In this case, ensure adequate venti-
lation. Avoid contact with naked flames and hot surfaces, which could lead
to the formation of irritant and toxic decomposition by-products. Do not
allow the liquid to come into contact with eyes or skin.
• Procedure in case of accidental escape of refrigerant
Ensure adequate personal protection (using means of respiratory pro-
tection) during clean-up operations. If the conditions are sufficiently safe,
isolate the source of leak.
If the extent of the spill is limited, let the material evaporate, as long as
adequate ventilation can be ensured. If the spill is considerable, ventilate
the area adequately.
Contain the spilt material with sand, soil, or other suitable absorbent
material.
Prevent the liquid from entering drains, sewers, underground facilities or
manholes, because suffocating vapours may form.
Main toxicological information on the type of refrigerant used
• Inhalation
A high atmospheric concentration can cause anaesthetic effects with pos-
sible loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposure may lead to an irregular
heartbeat and cause sudden death.
Higher concentrations may cause asphyxia due to the reduced oxygen
content in the atmosphere.
• Contact with skin
Splashes of nebulised liquid can produce frostbite. Probably not hazardous
if absorbed through the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact may remove
the skin's natural oils, with consequent dryness, cracking and dermatitis.
• Contact with eyes
Liquid splashes can cause frostbite.
• Ingestion
While highly improbable, may produce frostbite.
First aid measures
• Inhalation
Move the injured away from the exposure source area and keep warm
and at rest. Administer oxygen if necessary. Attempt artificial respiration if
breathing has stopped or shows signs of stopping.
In the case of cardiac arrest carry out heart massage and seek immediate
medical assistance.
• Contact with skin
In case of contact with skin, wash immediately with lukewarm water. Thaw
tissue using water. Remove contaminated clothing. Clothing may stick
to the skin in case of frostbite. If irritation, swelling or blisters appear, seek
medical assistance.

• Contact with eyes
Rinse immediately using an eyewash or clean water, keeping eyelids open,
for at least ten minutes.
Seek medical assistance.
• Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. If the injured person is conscious, rinse his/her
mouth with water and make him/her drink 200-300 ml of water.
Seek immediate medical assistance.
• Further medical treatment
Treat symptoms and carry out support therapy as indicated. Do not admi-
nister adrenaline or similar sympathomimetic drugs following exposure,
due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmia.
