FIRE RISK

The product must be installed in
a room equipped with adequate
air change to prevent the risk of
fire in case of a refrigerant gas
leak.
If the above is not possible, the
installer must carry out the nec-
essary work to ensure that no re-
frigerant gas stagnation occurs.
Periodically check that there are
no obstructions in the openings
that ensure the change of air in-
side the installation room.
The product must not be installed
in a compartment where there are
naked flames, e.g. open-chamber
gas boilers, wood stoves, elec-
tric stoves and in general any
other possible source of ignition.
Smoking near or inside the in-
stallation compartment is pro-
hibited.

management of systems con-

taining HC type gases such as
R290 (Propane).
During any routine or extraordinary maintenance or failure the
manufacturer recommends that maintenance personnel use a
suitable HC gas detector equipped with the necessary safety
devices to prevent ignition in the presence of a potentially explo-
sive atmosphere.
Always ensure adequate ventilation of the installation compart-
ment before carrying out any work on the product, as the refrig-
erant gas used is odorless.
Maintenance personnel must therefore implement all the pro-
cedures and precautions necessary to prevent any dangerous
situation in the presence of a flammable gas.
The product does not have a charging or recharging valve, as
this operation cannot and must not be performed for any reason
on site. In case of a leak in the refrigeration circuit or if it is par-
tially or entirely empty, the maintenance technician must have
the entire system replaced.
During maintenance operations, the operator in charge must
check the following points.
