Specific information for appliances with R290/R32 refrigerant gas
• Carefully read all warnings.
• When defrosting and cleaning the appliance, do not use other tools than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Place the appliance in a room with no ignition sources (you could think of: open fire, gas appliances or electric appliances
that could cause sparks).
• Do not drill through and do not burn.
• Refrigerant gases can be odourless.
• The appliance must be installed, used and stored in a room that is larger than 12 m
• R290/R32 is a refrigerant gas that complies with the European environmental directives. Never drill through any part of the
cooling circuit.
• When installing, using or storing the appliance in an non-ventilated room, the room must be designed in such a way that
leaking refrigerant gas cannot accumulate. This can prevent the occurrence of fire or explosions due to the ignition of the
refrigerant gas by electric stoves, burners or other ignition sources.
• Store the appliance in such a way that no mechanical defects can occur.
• Persons working at or with the refrigerant circuit should have the correct certification issued by a recognised organisation
that guarantees expertise in the handling of refrigerants in accordance with specific certification agreements in the industry.
• In the event of repairs, always observe the recommendations from the manufacturer.
• Maintenance and repair activities that require assistance from other qualified personnel, must be performed under the
supervision of a person who is certified in the handling of combustible refrigerants.
• Do not use agents to accelerate the defrosting process or clean than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance should be stored in a room with no continuously active ignition sources (such as: open fire, an operating gas
appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Do not drill through or burn.
• Take into account that refrigerants can be odourless.
• Always observe national laws and legislation.
• Do not block the ventilation holes.
• Store the appliance in such a way that no mechanical damages can be caused.
• Apply a warning that the appliance should be stored in a properly ventilated room, the dimensions of which correspond with
the space specified for use.
• All persons involved with working at or dismantling a refrigerant circuit, must be in possession of a valid certificate by an
evaluating body recognised by the industry, showing their competence in safely handling refrigerants in accordance with
recognised certification agreements in the industry.
• Maintenance may only be performed in accordance with the recommendations from the manufacturer of the equipment.
• Maintenance and repair activities that require assistance from other qualified personnel, must be performed under the
supervision of a competent person who is certified in the handling of combustible refrigerants.
• The appliance must be installed, used and stored in a room with a floor area of more than 13 m
WARNING: This system contains refrigerant under very high pressure. The system may only be
maintained by qualified personnel.
1. Transport of equipment containing combustible refrigerants (Appendix CC.1)
Observe the transport instructions.
2. Marking equipment with signs (Appendix CC.2)
Observe local regulations.
3. Disposal of equipment containing combustible refrigerants (Appendix CC.3)
Observe national regulations.
4. Storage of equipment/appliances (Appendix CC.4)
Store equipment in accordance with instructions from the manufacturer.
5. Storage of packaged (unsold) equipment (Appendix CC.5)
The storage packaging must have such a sturdy design that no refrigerant can start to leak when the equipment is
mechanically damaged in the packaging.
Local regulations determine the maximum number of appliances that can be stored in one room.
