Operation/Installation Manual
All models covered in this user manual are manufactured
using refrigerant R290 (Propane). R290 is a hydrocarbon.
This refrigerant is flammable and is only allowed for use
in appliances which fulfill the requirements of UL 471 (To
cover potential risk originated from the use of flammable
refrigerants). Consequently, R290 is only allowed to be
used in refrigerating appliances which are designed for
this refrigerant and fulfill the above-mentioned standard.
• R290 is heavier than air. The concentration
will always be highest at floor level.
• The explosion limits are as follows:
o Lower Limit: 1.7% by vol. (37 g/m3)
o Upper Limit: 9.5% by vol. (177 g/m3)
o Ignition Temperature: 470 °C
