Appliance filled with flammable gas R290.
Before install and use the appliance, read the owner’s manual first.
Before install the appliance, read the installation manual first.
Before repair the appliance, read the service manual first.
The Refrigerant
To realize the function of the unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the system.
The used refrigerant is the fluoride R290, which is specially cleaned.
The
refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. Furthermore, it can lead to explosion
under
certain conditions.
Compared to common refrigerants, R290 is a nonpolluting refrigerant with no harm
to the ozonosphere. The influence upon the greenhouse effect is also lower. R290
has got very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy
efficiency. The units therefore need a less filling.
WARNING
Appliance filled with flammable gas R290.
Appliance shall be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger
than 4 m

The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
Ducts connected to an appliance shall not contain an ignition source.
Keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
Do not pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Servicing shall be performed only as recommended by the manufacturer.
Should repair be necessary, contact your nearest authorized Service Centre.
Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dangerous.
Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.

Checking for presence of refrigerant
Presence of fire extinguisher
a) Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit
should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authori-
ty, which authorises their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with
an industry recognised assessment specification.
b) Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufac-
turer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall
be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable
refrigerants.
Aptitude requirement for maintenance man(repairs should be done only be
specialists).
The maximum refrigerant charge amount is shown on the following table a
(Note:Please refer to the nameplate for the charging quantity of R290).
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks
are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refriger-
ating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work
on the system.
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of
a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the
nature of work being carried out. Work in confined 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 flammable material.
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and
during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially toxic or flammable atmo-
spheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with
all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated
parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry
powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves
exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may
