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 easily 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 open flames or potential sources of ignition and air out the
room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

• In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air mixture in case of a leak in the
refrigerating circuit, the size of the room in which the appliance is placed depends

on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 35.31ft³ (1m³) in size for every

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.

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,
care should be taken to 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 and all technicians 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.
