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 a flammable gas or vapour 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 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 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 which 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, repairing, removing and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to 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 to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible must be corrected.
• Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being corroded.

Checks to Electrical Devices
Repair and maintenance to 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 possibility of sparking.
• That 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 moulded 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 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 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 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.
