• The lack of smell does not indicate a lack of escaped gas.
• No open fl ames, cigarettes or other possible sources of ignition should be used in the vicinity of the
machine.
• Component parts are designed for propane and non-incentive and non-sparking. Component parts
shall only be replaced with identical repair parts.
THE MACHINE MAY ONLY BE INSTALLED IN A ROOM WITH A MINIMUM FLOOR AREA OF 4 m².
R290 is a fl ammable gas that is heavier than air. On this basis, if the gas leaks from the unit, the
concentration will be the highest at ground level. However, the gas can be lifted (e.g. by draught, fan,
etc) to higher levels. The R290 (propane) used in this unit has no odour.
Do not use the machine in a room with an open fl ame, other high-level heat sources (e.g. cigarettes,
candles, etc.) or electrical discharges. Install the machine in a room which can be ventilated when
necessary and where gas accumulation is not possible.
If R290(propane) is detected in the room, or a leak is suspected, do not allow unauthorized persons to
search for the source of the leak. In such cases, evacuate all people from the room, open the windows,
leave the room and notify your local fi re department to advise them that a propane leak has occurred.
Do not allow any person to return to the room until the commanding offi cer of the fi re department or a
certifi ed service engineer decides that the risk has ceased to exist.
SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR SERVICE AND REPAIRE WORK
Repairs must only be carried out by authorised service personnel and only using genuine spare parts.
1. Checks to the Area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing fl ammable 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.
2. Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a fl ammable gas or
vapour being present while the work is being performed.
3. General work Area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work
being carried out. Work in confi ned 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 fl ammable
material.
4. Checking for 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 potentially fl ammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment
being used is suitable for use with fl ammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or
intrinsically safe.
5. Presence of fi re extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts appropriate
fi re extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO ² fi re extinguisher
adjacent to the charging area.
6. No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe work
that contains or has contained fl ammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner
that it may lead to the risk of fi re or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking,
