The appliances are provided with the refrigerant R290. This refrigerant is an ecologically friendly, but flammable product. The appliance is only to be operated or stored in a room with a floor area of min. 4.0 m2. The appliance must only be operated within the temperature range of 5 ° to 32 °C. Additionally, the following indications concerning appliances containing refrigerant R290 need to be followed:
-
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Escaping refrigerant can catch fire.
-
In case of escaping refrigerant, keep any kind of open fire sources well away and ventilate the room thoroughly. Turn off the appliance immediately. Do not pull the plug out of the mains, as this can become a source of ignition.
-
The system contains refrigerant under high pressure and shall only be maintained by the manufacturer or similarly qualified persons.
-
Warning: Refrigerants can be odourless!
-
Before cleaning or maintaining the appliance, please turn it off and pull the power plug.
-
Always clean the appliance with cleaning agents recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use any means or substances other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrost process.
-
Do not insert or pull out the power plug with wet hands.
-
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Never operate the appliance with a defective supply cord.
-
Never cover the appliance with a towel or anything similar. Keep air inlet and air outlet clear of obstacles.
-

-
The filter on the backside of the appliance must be cleaned regularly to guarantee an optimal air inlet.
Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check
shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from
sources such as compressors or fans.
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 pipework are to take place.
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.
- Only set up the device in a room in which there is no source of ignition present (e.g. open flames, a gas appliance or an electric heater).
- Do not pierce or burn.
- Every person working with or at the refrigerant circuit must be able to provide a certificate of qualification issued by a body accredited by the industry, demonstrating their competence in the safe use of refrigerants based on a procedure well-known in the industry.
- Service work may only be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. If maintenance and repair work require the support of additional persons, the person trained in handling flammable refrigerants shall continuously supervise the work carried out.
