- There is risk of water freezing.
• The appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where
the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for
operation.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously
operating open flames (for example an operating gas
appliance) and ignition sources (for example an operating
electric heater).
• The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical
damage from occurring.
• Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the
equipment manufacturer. 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.

14
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• When mechanical connectors are reused indoors, sealing parts
shall be renewed. When flared joints are reused indoors, the
flare part shall be re-fabricated.
• Periodic(more than once/year) cleaning of the dust or salt
particles stuck on the heat exchangers by using water.
• Keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
Repair
• Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be
used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks.
A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall
not be used.
• Leak detection methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable
for systems containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable
refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in
a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a
potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant
used.
Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the
LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant
employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 %
maximum) is confirmed.
Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most
refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall
be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and
corrode the copper pipe-work.

15
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be
removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found
which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered
from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a
part of the system remote from the leak. Oxygen free
nitrogen(OFN) shall then be purged through the system both
before and during the brazing process.
• Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or
for any other purpose - conventional procedures shall be used.
However, it is important that best practice is followed since
flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
- Remove refrigerant
- Purge the circuit with inert gas
- Evacuate
- Purge again with inert gas
- Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct
recovery cylinders. The system shall be “flushed” with OFN to
render the unit safe.
This process may need to be repeated several times.
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.
Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the
system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working
pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally
pulling down to a vacuum.
This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the
system. When the final OFN charge is used, the system shall
be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to
take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing
operations on the pipe-work are to take place. Ensure that the
outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition
sources and there is ventilation available.

16
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following
requirements shall be followed.
- Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not
occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall
be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant
contained in them.
- Cylinders shall be kept upright.
- Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to
charging the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration
system. Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure
tested with OFN. The system shall be leak tested on
completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow
up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
• Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing
or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all
refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant
into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery
cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of
cylinders for holding the total system charge are available.
All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered
refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders
for the recovery of refrigerant).
Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and
associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty
recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled
before recovery occurs.

17
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a
set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand
and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable
refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales
shall be available and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings
and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine,
check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly
maintained and that any associated electrical components are
sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release.
Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant
supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant
Waste Transfer Note arranged.
Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in
cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be
removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an
acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant
does not remain within the lubricant.
The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning
the compressor to the suppliers.
Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be
employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from
a system, it shall be carried out safely.

18
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
