WARNINGS FOR THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SPECIALIST Here are warnings and safety instructions for the maintenance of systems containing flammable refrigerant (repairs should only be carried out by specialists). 1. Any person involved in the work or in the interruption of a refrigeration circuit must be equipped with PEF (European Refrigerators License) as required by the D.P.R.
Page 35
1. the correct specifications. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines should always be followed. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. 2. Repairs on sealed components. During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies must be disconnected from the equipment being worked on before removing the sealed covers, etc.

If compressors or compressor oils need to be removed, make sure they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to ensure that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process must be carried out before returning the compressor to suppliers. To speed up this process, only electrical heating of the compressor body must be used.
