General Rules; Operator Safety; Device Safety - TEXA KONFORT 700R Technical Manual

2.2 General Rules

• The operator must have basic knowledge within the refrigeration field,
refrigeration system, as well as knowledge of refrigerants and of the potential
hazards that devices under extreme pressure can cause.
• The operator must have fully read and understood the information and the
instructions described in the technical documentation provided with the device.

2.3 Operator Safety

The refrigerant liquids can cause blindness and other physical damage.
Due to their low boiling temperature (approximately - 30 °C), the
refrigerants can cause cold burns when they come into contact with the
skin.
Safety Measures:

• Avoid moving it on uneven surfaces.

2.4 Device Safety

The equipment was designed in accordance with the regulations about
pressure equipment and assemblies, evaluating and reducing the risk
where present and making appropriate considerations.
