    I. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions contain important safety precautions and should be strictly observed. The terms used here are defined as follows: WARNING: There is a possibility of death or serious injury to the service person and a third party or the user due to improper service operations or defects in serviced products.
  • Page 5 be located, be sure to check again for further leaks after recharging the refrigerant. Leaked refrigerant may produce a poisonous gas when coming in contact with an open flame of a gas cooking stove or a fan heater. (7) Before servicing, check the surface temperature of the refrigeration circuit to prevent a burn.
