permitted to be stored together will be
determined by local regulations.
6. Information on servicing
a) Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems
containing flammable refrigerants, safety
checks are necessary to ensure that the
risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to
the refrigerating system, the following
precautions shall be complied with prior
to conducting work on the system.
b) Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a
controlled procedure so as to minimise
the risk of a flammable gas or vapour
being present while the work is being
performed.
c) General work area
All maintenance staff and others working
in the local area shall be instructed on
the nature of work being carried out.
Work in confined spaces shall be
avoided. The area around the workspace
shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the
conditions within the area have been
made safe by control of flammable
material.
d) Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an
appropriate refrigerating detector prior
to and during work, to ensure the
technician is aware of potentially
flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the
leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
e) Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the
refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment shall be
refrigerant; Marking to the equipment
continues to be visible and legible.
Markings and signs that are illegible shall
be corrected; Refrigerating pipe or
components are installed in a position
where they are unlikely to be exposed to
any substance which may corrode
refrigerant containing components,
unless the components are constructed
of materials which are inherently resistant
to being corroded or are suitably
protected against being so corroded.
i) Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical
components shall include initial safety
checks and component inspection
procedures. If a fault exists that could
compromise safety, then no electrical
supply shall be connected to the circuit
until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the
fault cannot be corrected immediately
but it is necessary to continue operation,
an adequate temporary solution shall be
used. This shall be reported to the owner
of the equipment so all parties are
advised. Initial safety checks shall include:
That capacitors are discharged: this shall
be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking; That there no live
electrical components and wiring are
exposed while charging, recovering or
purging the system; That there is
continuity of earth bonding.
7. Sealed electrical components shall be
replaced.
a) During repairs to sealed components, all
electrical supplies shall be disconnected
from the equipment being worked upon
prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc.
If it is absolutely necessary to have an
electrical supply to equipment during
servicing, then a permanently operating
form of leak detection shall be located at
the most critical point to warn of a
potentially hazardous situation.
b) Particular attention shall be paid to the
following to ensure that by working on
electrical components, the casing is not
altered in such a way that the level of
protection is affected. This shall include
detect flammable refrigerants, but the
sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need re-calibration. (Detection
equipment shall be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area). Ensure that the
detector is not a potential source of
ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant
used. Leak detection equipment shall be
set at a percentage of the LFL of the
refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the
refrigerant employed and the appropriate
percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is
confirmed. Leak detection fluids are
suitable for use with most refrigerants but
the use of detergents containing chlorine
shall be avoided as the chlorine may react
with the refrigerant and corrode the
copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected,
all naked flames shall be
removed/extinguished. If a leakage of
refrigerant is found which requires
brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be
recovered from the system, or isolated
(by means of shut off valves) in a part of
the system remote from the leak.
Removal of refrigerant shall be according
to Removal and evacuation.
11. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit
to make repairs - or for any other purpose
- conventional procedures shall be used.
However, for flammable refrigerants it is
important that best practice be followed,
since flammability is a consideration. The
following procedure shall be adhered to:
- safely remove refrigerant following local
and national regulations;
- evacuate;
- purge the circuit with inert gas (optional
for A2L);
- evacuate (optional for A2L);
- continuously flush or purge with inert gas
when using flame to open circuit; and
- open the circuit.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered
into the correct recovery cylinders if
venting is not allowed by local and
national codes. For appliances containing
flammable refrigerants, the system shall
be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to
damage to cables, excessive number of
connections, terminals not made to
original specification, damage to seals,
incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure
that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials
have not degraded such that they no
longer serve the purpose of preventing
the ingress of flammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts shall be in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit
the effectiveness of some types of leak
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe
components do not have to be isolated
prior to working on them.
8. Intrinsically safe components must be
replaced.
Do not apply any permanent inductive or
capacitance loads to the circuit without
ensuring that this will not exceed the
permissible voltage and current
permitted for the equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only
types that can be worked on while live in
the presence of a flammable atmosphere.
The test apparatus shall be at the correct
rating. Replace components only with
parts specified by the manufacturer.
Other parts may result in the ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
9. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to
wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other
adverse environmental effects. The check
shall also take into account the effects of
aging or continual vibration from sources
such as compressors or fans.
10.Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential
sources of ignition be used in the
searching for or detection of refrigerant
leaks. A halide torch (or any other
detector using a naked flame) shall not be
used.
The following leak detection methods are
deemed acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to

protective equipment is available and
being used correctly; The recovery
process is supervised at all times by a
competent person; Recovery equipment
and cylinders conform to the appropriate
standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if
possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a
manifold so that refrigerant can be
removed from various parts of the
system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the
scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate
in accordance with instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than
80% volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working
pressure of the cylinder, even
temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled
correctly and the process completed,
make sure that the cylinders and the
equipment are removed from site
promptly and all isolation valves on the
equipment are closed off.

render the appliance safe for flammable
refrigerants. This process might need to
be repeated several times. Compressed
air or oxygen shall not be used for
purging refrigerant systems. For
appliances containing flammable
refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be
achieved by breaking the vacuum in the
system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to fill until the working
pressure is achieved, then venting to
atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a
vacuum (optional for A2L). This process
shall be repeated until no refrigerant is
within the system (optional for A2L).
When the final oxygen-free nitrogen
charge is used, the system shall be vented
down to atmospheric pressure to enable
work to take place. Ensure that the outlet
for the vacuum pump is not close to any
potential ignition sources and that
ventilation is available.
12. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging
procedures, the following requirements
shall be followed. Ensure that
contamination of different refrigerants
does not occur when using charging
equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as
short as possible to minimise the amount
of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate
position according to the instructions.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is
earthed prior to charging the system with
refrigerant. Label the system when
charging is complete (if not already).
Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill
the refrigeration system. Prior to
recharging the system it shall be pressure
tested with OFN. The system shall be leak
tested on completion of charging but
prior to commissioning. A follow up leak
test shall be carried out prior to leaving
the site.

The recovered refrigerant shall be
processed according to local legislation in
the correct recovery cylinder, and the
relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do
not mix refrigerants in recovery units and
especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to
be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that flammable refrigerant does
not remain within the lubricant. The
compressor body shall not be heated by
an open flame or other ignition sources to
accelerate this process. When oil is
drained from a system, it shall be carried
out safely.
15. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a
system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, it is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are
removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into
cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery cylinders are
employed. Ensure that the correct
number of cylinders for holding the total
system charge is available. All cylinders to
be used are designated for the recovered
refrigerant and labelled for that
refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the
recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall
be complete with pressure-relief valve
and associated shut-off valves in good
working order. Empty recovery cylinders
are evacuated and, if possible, cooled
before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good
working order with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand

contamination of different refrigerants
does not occur when using charging
equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as
short as possible to minimise the amount
of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate
position according to the instructions.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is
earthed prior to charging the system with
refrigerant. Label the system when
charging is complete (if not already).
Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill
the refrigeration system. Prior to
recharging the system it shall be pressure
tested with OFN. The system shall be leak
tested on completion of charging but
prior to commissioning. A follow up leak
test shall be carried out prior to leaving
the site.
13. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is
essential that the technician is completely
familiar with the equipment and all its
detail. It is recommended good practice
that all refrigerants are recovered safely.
and shall be suitable for the recovery of
the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the
manufacturer should be consulted. In
addition, a set of calibrated weighing
scales shall be available and in good
working order. Hoses shall be complete
with leak-free disconnect couplings and
in good condition.
The recovered refrigerant shall be
processed according to local legislation in
the correct recovery cylinder, and the
relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do
not mix refrigerants in recovery units and
especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to
be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that flammable refrigerant does
not remain within the lubricant. The
compressor body shall not be heated by
an open flame or other ignition sources to
accelerate this process. When oil is
drained from a system, it shall be carried
out safely.
15. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a
system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, it is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are
removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into
cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery cylinders are
employed. Ensure that the correct
number of cylinders for holding the total
system charge is available. All cylinders to
be used are designated for the recovered
refrigerant and labelled for that
refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the
recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall
be complete with pressure-relief valve
and associated shut-off valves in good
working order. Empty recovery cylinders
are evacuated and, if possible, cooled
before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good
working order with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand
5. Storage of packed (unsold) equipment
Storage package protection should be
constructed such that mechanical
damage to the equipment inside the
package will not cause a leak of the
refrigerant charge. The maximum
number of pieces of equipment
permitted to be stored together will be
determined by local regulations.
6. Information on servicing
a) Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems
containing flammable refrigerants, safety
checks are necessary to ensure that the
risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to
the refrigerating system, the following
precautions shall be complied with prior
to conducting work on the system.
b) Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a
controlled procedure so as to minimise
the risk of a flammable gas or vapour
being present while the work is being
performed.
c) General work area
All maintenance staff and others working
in the local area shall be instructed on
the nature of work being carried out.
Work in confined spaces shall be
avoided. The area around the workspace
shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the
conditions within the area have been
made safe by control of flammable
material.
d) Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an
appropriate refrigerating detector prior
to and during work, to ensure the
technician is aware of potentially
flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the
leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
e) Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the
refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment shall be
7IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
available to hand. Have a dry powder or
CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the
charging area.
f) No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to
a refrigerating system which involves
exposing any pipe work that contains or
has contained flammable refrigerant shall
use any sources of ignition in such a
manner that it may lead to the risk of fire
or explosion. All possible ignition sources,
including cigarette smoking, should be
kept sufficiently far away from the site of
installation, repairing, removing and
disposal, during which flammable
refrigerant can possibly be released to
the surrounding space. Prior to work
taking place, the area around the
equipment is to be surveyed to make sure
that there are no flammable hazards or
ignition risks. No Smoking signs shall be
displayed.
g) Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that
it is adequately ventilated before
breaking into the system or conducting
any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall
continue during the period that the work
is carried out. The ventilation should
safely disperse any released refrigerant
and preferably expel it externally into the
atmosphere.
h) Checks to the refrigerating equipment
Where electrical components are being
changed, they shall be fit for the purpose
and to the correct specification. At all
times the manufacturer's maintenance
and service guidelines shall be followed. If
in doubt consult the manufacturer's
technical department for assistance. The
following checks shall be applied to
installations using flammable refrigerants:
The actual refrigerant charge is in
accordance with the room size within
which the refrigerant containing parts are
installed; The ventilation machinery and
outlets are operating adequately and are
not obstructed; If an indirect refrigerating
circuit is being used, the secondary circuit
shall be checked for the presence of
refrigerant; Marking to the equipment
continues to be visible and legible.
Markings and signs that are illegible shall
be corrected; Refrigerating pipe or
components are installed in a position
where they are unlikely to be exposed to
any substance which may corrode
refrigerant containing components,
unless the components are constructed
of materials which are inherently resistant
to being corroded or are suitably
protected against being so corroded.
i) Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical
components shall include initial safety
checks and component inspection
procedures. If a fault exists that could
compromise safety, then no electrical
supply shall be connected to the circuit
until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the
fault cannot be corrected immediately
but it is necessary to continue operation,
an adequate temporary solution shall be
used. This shall be reported to the owner
of the equipment so all parties are
advised. Initial safety checks shall include:
That capacitors are discharged: this shall
be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking; That there no live
electrical components and wiring are
exposed while charging, recovering or
purging the system; That there is
continuity of earth bonding.
7. Sealed electrical components shall be
replaced.
a) During repairs to sealed components, all
electrical supplies shall be disconnected
from the equipment being worked upon
prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc.
If it is absolutely necessary to have an
electrical supply to equipment during
servicing, then a permanently operating
form of leak detection shall be located at
the most critical point to warn of a
potentially hazardous situation.
b) Particular attention shall be paid to the
following to ensure that by working on
electrical components, the casing is not
altered in such a way that the level of
protection is affected. This shall include
detect flammable refrigerants, but the
sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need re-calibration. (Detection
equipment shall be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area). Ensure that the
detector is not a potential source of
ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant
used. Leak detection equipment shall be
set at a percentage of the LFL of the
refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the
refrigerant employed and the appropriate
percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is
confirmed. Leak detection fluids are
suitable for use with most refrigerants but
the use of detergents containing chlorine
shall be avoided as the chlorine may react
with the refrigerant and corrode the
copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected,
all naked flames shall be
removed/extinguished. If a leakage of
refrigerant is found which requires
brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be
recovered from the system, or isolated
(by means of shut off valves) in a part of
the system remote from the leak.
Removal of refrigerant shall be according
to Removal and evacuation.
11. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit
to make repairs - or for any other purpose
- conventional procedures shall be used.
However, for flammable refrigerants it is
important that best practice be followed,
since flammability is a consideration. The
following procedure shall be adhered to:
- safely remove refrigerant following local
and national regulations;
- evacuate;
- purge the circuit with inert gas (optional
for A2L);
- evacuate (optional for A2L);
- continuously flush or purge with inert gas
when using flame to open circuit; and
- open the circuit.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered
into the correct recovery cylinders if
venting is not allowed by local and
national codes. For appliances containing
flammable refrigerants, the system shall
be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to
damage to cables, excessive number of
connections, terminals not made to
original specification, damage to seals,
incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure
that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials
have not degraded such that they no
longer serve the purpose of preventing
the ingress of flammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts shall be in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit
the effectiveness of some types of leak
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe
components do not have to be isolated
prior to working on them.
8. Intrinsically safe components must be
replaced.
Do not apply any permanent inductive or
capacitance loads to the circuit without
ensuring that this will not exceed the
permissible voltage and current
permitted for the equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only
types that can be worked on while live in
the presence of a flammable atmosphere.
The test apparatus shall be at the correct
rating. Replace components only with
parts specified by the manufacturer.
Other parts may result in the ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
9. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to
wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other
adverse environmental effects. The check
shall also take into account the effects of
aging or continual vibration from sources
such as compressors or fans.
10.Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential
sources of ignition be used in the
searching for or detection of refrigerant
leaks. A halide torch (or any other
detector using a naked flame) shall not be
used.
The following leak detection methods are
deemed acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to
Prior to the task being carried out, an oil
and refrigerant sample shall be taken in

its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure
that: Mechanical handling equipment is
available, if required, for handling
refrigerant cylinders; All personal
protective equipment is available and
being used correctly; The recovery
process is supervised at all times by a
competent person; Recovery equipment
and cylinders conform to the appropriate
standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if
possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a
manifold so that refrigerant can be
removed from various parts of the
system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the
scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate
in accordance with instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than
80% volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working
pressure of the cylinder, even
temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled
correctly and the process completed,
make sure that the cylinders and the
equipment are removed from site
promptly and all isolation valves on the
equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be
charged into another refrigeration system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.

render the appliance safe for flammable
refrigerants. This process might need to
be repeated several times. Compressed
air or oxygen shall not be used for
purging refrigerant systems. For
appliances containing flammable
refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be
achieved by breaking the vacuum in the
system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to fill until the working
pressure is achieved, then venting to
atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a
vacuum (optional for A2L). This process
shall be repeated until no refrigerant is
within the system (optional for A2L).
When the final oxygen-free nitrogen
charge is used, the system shall be vented
down to atmospheric pressure to enable
work to take place. Ensure that the outlet
for the vacuum pump is not close to any
potential ignition sources and that
ventilation is available.
12. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging
procedures, the following requirements
shall be followed. Ensure that
contamination of different refrigerants
does not occur when using charging
equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as

recovered from the system, or isolated
(by means of shut off valves) in a part of
the system remote from the leak.
Removal of refrigerant shall be according
to Removal and evacuation.
11. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit
to make repairs - or for any other purpose
- conventional procedures shall be used.
However, for flammable refrigerants it is
important that best practice be followed,
since flammability is a consideration. The
following procedure shall be adhered to:
- safely remove refrigerant following local
and national regulations;
- evacuate;
- purge the circuit with inert gas (optional
for A2L);
- evacuate (optional for A2L);
- continuously flush or purge with inert gas
when using flame to open circuit; and
- open the circuit.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered
into the correct recovery cylinders if
venting is not allowed by local and
national codes. For appliances containing
flammable refrigerants, the system shall
be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to
damage to cables, excessive number of
connections, terminals not made to
original specification, damage to seals,
incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure
that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials
have not degraded such that they no
longer serve the purpose of preventing
the ingress of flammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts shall be in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit
the effectiveness of some types of leak
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe
components do not have to be isolated
prior to working on them.
8. Intrinsically safe components must be
replaced.
Do not apply any permanent inductive or
capacitance loads to the circuit without
ensuring that this will not exceed the
permissible voltage and current
permitted for the equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only
types that can be worked on while live in
the presence of a flammable atmosphere.
The test apparatus shall be at the correct
rating. Replace components only with
parts specified by the manufacturer.
Other parts may result in the ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
9. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to
wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other
adverse environmental effects. The check
shall also take into account the effects of
aging or continual vibration from sources
such as compressors or fans.
10.Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential
sources of ignition be used in the
searching for or detection of refrigerant
leaks. A halide torch (or any other
detector using a naked flame) shall not be
used.
The following leak detection methods are
deemed acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to

render the appliance safe for flammable
refrigerants. This process might need to
be repeated several times. Compressed
air or oxygen shall not be used for
purging refrigerant systems. For
appliances containing flammable
refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be
achieved by breaking the vacuum in the
system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to fill until the working
pressure is achieved, then venting to
atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a
vacuum (optional for A2L). This process
shall be repeated until no refrigerant is
within the system (optional for A2L).
When the final oxygen-free nitrogen
charge is used, the system shall be vented
down to atmospheric pressure to enable
work to take place. Ensure that the outlet
for the vacuum pump is not close to any
potential ignition sources and that
ventilation is available.
12. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging
procedures, the following requirements
shall be followed. Ensure that
contamination of different refrigerants
does not occur when using charging
equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as
short as possible to minimise the amount
of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate
position according to the instructions.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is
earthed prior to charging the system with
refrigerant. Label the system when
charging is complete (if not already).
Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill
the refrigeration system. Prior to
recharging the system it shall be pressure
tested with OFN. The system shall be leak
tested on completion of charging but
prior to commissioning. A follow up leak
test shall be carried out prior to leaving
the site.
13. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is
essential that the technician is completely
familiar with the equipment and all its
detail. It is recommended good practice
that all refrigerants are recovered safely.
and shall be suitable for the recovery of
the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the
manufacturer should be consulted. In
addition, a set of calibrated weighing
scales shall be available and in good
working order. Hoses shall be complete
with leak-free disconnect couplings and
in good condition.
The recovered refrigerant shall be
processed according to local legislation in
the correct recovery cylinder, and the
relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do
not mix refrigerants in recovery units and
especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to
be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that flammable refrigerant does
not remain within the lubricant. The
compressor body shall not be heated by
an open flame or other ignition sources to
accelerate this process. When oil is
drained from a system, it shall be carried
out safely.
15. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a
system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, it is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are
removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into
cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery cylinders are
employed. Ensure that the correct
number of cylinders for holding the total
system charge is available. All cylinders to
be used are designated for the recovered
refrigerant and labelled for that
refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the
recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall
be complete with pressure-relief valve
and associated shut-off valves in good
working order. Empty recovery cylinders
are evacuated and, if possible, cooled
before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good
working order with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand
5. Storage of packed (unsold) equipment
Storage package protection should be
constructed such that mechanical
damage to the equipment inside the
package will not cause a leak of the
refrigerant charge. The maximum
number of pieces of equipment
permitted to be stored together will be
determined by local regulations.
6. Information on servicing
a) Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems
containing flammable refrigerants, safety
checks are necessary to ensure that the
risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to
the refrigerating system, the following
precautions shall be complied with prior
to conducting work on the system.
b) Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a
controlled procedure so as to minimise
the risk of a flammable gas or vapour
being present while the work is being
performed.
c) General work area
All maintenance staff and others working
in the local area shall be instructed on
the nature of work being carried out.
Work in confined spaces shall be
avoided. The area around the workspace
shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the
conditions within the area have been
made safe by control of flammable
material.
d) Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an
appropriate refrigerating detector prior
to and during work, to ensure the
technician is aware of potentially
flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the
leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
e) Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the
refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment shall be
refrigerant; Marking to the equipment
continues to be visible and legible.
Markings and signs that are illegible shall
be corrected; Refrigerating pipe or
components are installed in a position
where they are unlikely to be exposed to
any substance which may corrode
refrigerant containing components,
unless the components are constructed
of materials which are inherently resistant
to being corroded or are suitably
protected against being so corroded.
i) Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical
components shall include initial safety
checks and component inspection
procedures. If a fault exists that could
compromise safety, then no electrical
supply shall be connected to the circuit
until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the
fault cannot be corrected immediately
but it is necessary to continue operation,
an adequate temporary solution shall be
used. This shall be reported to the owner
of the equipment so all parties are
advised. Initial safety checks shall include:
That capacitors are discharged: this shall
be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking; That there no live
electrical components and wiring are
exposed while charging, recovering or
purging the system; That there is
continuity of earth bonding.
7. Sealed electrical components shall be
replaced.
a) During repairs to sealed components, all
electrical supplies shall be disconnected
from the equipment being worked upon
prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc.
If it is absolutely necessary to have an
electrical supply to equipment during
servicing, then a permanently operating
form of leak detection shall be located at
the most critical point to warn of a
potentially hazardous situation.
b) Particular attention shall be paid to the
following to ensure that by working on
electrical components, the casing is not
altered in such a way that the level of
protection is affected. This shall include
detect flammable refrigerants, but the
sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need re-calibration. (Detection
equipment shall be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area). Ensure that the
detector is not a potential source of
ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant
used. Leak detection equipment shall be
set at a percentage of the LFL of the
refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the
refrigerant employed and the appropriate
percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is
confirmed. Leak detection fluids are
suitable for use with most refrigerants but
the use of detergents containing chlorine
shall be avoided as the chlorine may react
with the refrigerant and corrode the
copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected,
all naked flames shall be
removed/extinguished. If a leakage of
refrigerant is found which requires
brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be
recovered from the system, or isolated
(by means of shut off valves) in a part of
the system remote from the leak.
Removal of refrigerant shall be according
to Removal and evacuation.

SHOWS “EH” FOR ONE SECOND: THEN SHOWS “00” FOR ANOTHER SECOND:
• There is a 2-Second delay for the
compressor shutting down when selecting
FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility
of having to roll through to select another
mode.
• The control will maintain the set
temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit,
between 60°F and 90°F degrees.
Now that you have mastered the operating
procedure, here are more features in your
control that you should become familiar with.
ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
NOTE
The "Cool" circuit has an automatic 3 minute
time delayed start if the unit is turned o
and on quickly. This prevents overheating of
the compressor and possible circuit breaker
tripping. The fan will continue to run during
this time.
• After a power outage, the unit will
memorize the last setting and return the
unit to the same setting once power is
restored.
• The unit should be operated in an indoor
temperature range of 60°F - 90°F (16°C -
32°C), and an outdoor temperature range
of 64°F - 109°F (18°C - 43°C). Performance
may be reduced outside of these operating
temperatures.
Fresh Air Vent Control (on some models)
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner
to:
1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (see
Fig. 1)
2. Draw fresh air into the room - Fresh Air
(see Fig. 2)
3. Exchange air from the room - Vent Open
(see Fig. 3)
20OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 1 (VENT CLOSED)
Air Directional Louvers
Slider Type
Air directional louvers control air flow
direction. Your air conditioner has the louver
type described below.
The louvers will allow you to direct the air
flow Up or Down and Left or Right
throughout the room as needed. Drag the
adjuster lever until the desired
Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot
horizontal louvers until the desired
Up/Down direction is obtained.
Figure 3 (VENT OPEN)
(6-WAY)
ADJUSTER LEVER
Figure 2 (FRESH AIR)
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to
keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the
unit before cleaning to prevent shock or
fire hazards.
The Dust filter should be checked at least
once a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the Dust filter can build
up and cause an accumulation of frost on
the cooling coils.
NOTE: When replacing the Dust filter after
cleaning, make sure the tabs on the air filter
are on the upper part of filter, and placed
outward as shown in the drawing on the left
side.
Dust Filter Cleaning
• Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed
position(where applicable).
• Open the front panel.
• Grasp the Dust filter by the center and pull
up and out.
• Wash the Dust filter using liquid
dishwashing detergent and warm water.
Rinse Dust filter thoroughly. Gently shake
excess water from the Dust filter. Be sure
Dust filter is thoroughly dry before
replacing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & CARE AND CLEANING
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds,
curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs,
enclosures, or other buildings.
• The capacity of the room air conditioner
must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation.
• Install the room air conditioner on the
shady side of your home. A window that
faces north is best because it is shaded
most of the day.
• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall
registers so cool air does not escape up the
chimney and into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows
closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
section “Care and Cleaning”.
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in
your home will help keep warm air out and
cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or
awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner’s work load.
• Operate heat producing appliances such as
ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day.
Energy Saving Ideas
Winter Storage
If you plan to store your air conditioner
during the cooler months, remove it carefully
from the window according to the
installation instructions, cover with plastic, or
return to its the original carton.
Cabinet Cleaning
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to
prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet
and front may be dusted with an oil-free
cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a
solution of warm water and mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on
the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the
cloth before wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may
cause damage to the air conditioner.
