FOR HYDROCARBON REFRIGERATION UNITS

WARNING

• Handle the unit with care in order to avoid any serious damage to the refrigeration system.

• The refrigerant tubing, condenser, and evaporator coils are prone to damage while handling, moving, installing, and cleaning the unit, which may lead to fire or even explosion.

• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is located.

• To avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air mixture from a leaking refrigerating circuit, the size of the room in which the appliance is placed depends on the

amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 35.31ft

0.28oz (8g) of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the label inside the cabinet.

1m³) in size for every

This appliance contains a small amount of propane (R-290) or isobutane (R-600a) refrigerant, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, ensure that no part of the refrigerating circuit is damaged.

• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. When in doubt, contact a qualified service professional.

• In case of any hazardous activities such as fire or explosion, move the unit away from any source of ignition to a well ventilated area.

• Further service and repair must be done by a qualified technician who is familiar with the safety standards, and also has thorough understanding and knowledge of the flammable refrigerants.

• Any individuals handling these units must be equipped with proper personal protection and equipment and follow applicable safety measures and precautions to avoid risk of fire or explosion.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

PROPER DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCE

For environmental purposes, refrigeration appliances must be properly disposed. This applies to your old appliance, and at the end of its service life, for your new appliance as well.

WARNING

Before disposing of old appliances, make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, severe the power cable, and remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger of any children locking themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation) or placing themselves into other life-threatening situations.

• The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.

• The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, may not be damaged.

• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the local disposal authorities.

CAUTION

The refrigeration used in refrigerator/freezer and the gases in the insulation material require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
