• Some 50 Hz models may contain up to 150 grams
of R290 (propane) refrigerant. R290 (propane)
is flammable in concentrations of air between
approximately 2.1% and 9.5% by volume (LEL lower
explosion limit and UEL upper explosion limit). An
ignition source at a temperature higher than 470°C is
needed for a combustion to occur. Refer to nameplate
to identify the type of refrigerant in your equipment.
Only trained and qualified personnel aware of the
