Health and safety

General safety instructions
Symbols from the unit

• Warning: Do not operate near combustible or explosive materials, heat sources, or any objects that may block air inlets and outlets. Keep the air inlet and outlet free of obstacles. Only use in rooms that exceed 4m² in size.
• Warning: Do not touch the air inlet or the evaporator surface, located behind the filter. Doing so could cause injury. Always ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling into the unit.

The following must always be observed for safety

• This appliance is not intended to be used by children. Persons with a lack of experience or knowledge, and reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, can use this appliance if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• The unit is designed only for use with R-290 propane gas. The refrigerant loop is sealed, and only qualified technicians should perform servicing.
• Never discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. R-290 propane gas is flammable and heavier than air, it collects first in low areas, and it can be circulated or dispersed by fans.
• If propane gas is present or even suspected, do not allow untrained personnel to attempt to find the cause. R-290 has no odor, and the lack of gas smell does not indicate a lack of escaped gas. Do not allow it to get in eyes, on your skin, or on
• clothing. Do not breathe the vapors or gas. If a leak is detected, immediately evacuate all persons from the area, ventilate, and contact the local fire department to advise them that a propane leak has occurred. Do not let any persons back into the area until the qualified service technician has advised that it is safe to return.
• Component parts must only be replaced with identical repair parts. Any person working on, or breaking into a refrigerant circuit, should hold a currently valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorises their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance
• with an industry-recognized assessment specification.
• 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.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons.
• The appliance must be disconnected from its power source during servicing, cleaning, or when not in use. Do not use chemicals to clean the appliance.
• Always operate the unit from a grounded power outlet of equal voltage, frequency, and rating as indicated on the product identification plate. Do not operate with wet hands. Keep the unit away from sources of water, moisture, or any other liquids.
• Do not leave the unit running unattended. Do not unplug or tilt the unit while it is in operation.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the power cord.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not put objects on the unit, climb, or sit on the unit.
• Do not insert fingers or other objects into the air outlet. Do not operate the unit if it is dropped, damaged, or showing signs of product malfunction.
• The unit must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process.
• The appliance must be stored in a manner to prevent mechanical damage.
• Do not pierce or burn, even after use.
• Compliance with national gas regulations must be observed. Do not place in direct sunlight or near objects that may cause mechanical
• vibration or shock. Position the unit on an even/flat surface, away from excessive dust, and always maintain the unit to ensure that excessive dust does not accumulate anywhere on the unit.

Failure to abide by any of these warnings could result in a fire, explosion, electric shock, injury, death, and property damage.
Servicing Safety Precautions

• Please carefully follow this guidance when undertaking any servicing on this appliance. Any servicing must be carried out by a suitably qualified and registered individual.
• Prior to beginning work, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, all of the following precautions must be complied with prior to conducting work.

Work Procedure

• Work must be undertaken under a controlled procedure to minimize the risk of flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.

General Work Area

• All maintenance staff and others working in the local area must be instructed on the nature of the work being carried out. Work in confined spaces must be avoided.
• The area around the workspace must be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

Checking for the Presence of Refrigerant

• The area must be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable
• refrigerants, e.g. no sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

Presence of Fire Extinguisher

• If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

No Ignition Sources

• No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system that involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant must use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion.
• All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repair, removal, and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released into the surrounding space.
• Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs must be displayed.

Ventilated Area

• Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work.
• A degree of ventilation must continue during the period that the work is carried out.
• The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

Checks to the Refrigeration Equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they must be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines must be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The following checks must be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:

• The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant-containing parts are installed. The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed.
• If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit must be checked for the presence of refrigerant.
• Marking the equipment continues to be visible and legible.
• Markings and signs that are illegible must be corrected.
• Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance that may corrode refrigerant-containing components unless the components are constructed of materials that are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being corroded.

Checks to Electrical Devices

• Repair and maintenance of electrical components must include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures.
• If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply must be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with.
• If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution must be used.
• This must be reported to the owner of the equipment, so all parties are advised. Initial safety checks must include:
• Those capacitors are discharged: this must be done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of sparking.
• No live electrical components or wiring are exposed while charging, recovering, or purging the system.
• That there is continuity of earth bonding.

Connection to the power supply

Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.

• This appliance is supplied with a molded 3-pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362, and ASTA or BSI Kite marked.
  • ASTA:
  • BSI:
• The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet.
• If the cover is missing, a replacement must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.
• If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent connection to a live electrical outlet.
• This appliance is Class I and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that is detailed on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted. If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.
• Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead.
• Class I: Products with this symbol must have metal parts connected to the electrical earth by an earth conductor. The basic requirement is that no single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might cause electric shock.

Important: If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding maximum load while the cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound. Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire. Failure to abide by any of these warnings could result in a fire, explosion, electric shock, injury, death, and property damage.
