• Read these warnings carefully.
• This device contains refrigerant gas R290. Gas R290 is a refrigerant
that refers to relevant European directives.
• Do not pierce the refrigerant circuit. Gas R290 is flammable (GWP 3).
• Do not use methods to shorten the defrosting or any cleaning
process methods other than those indicated by the manufacturer.
• The device must be stored in a room in which there is no type of
device in operation which could generate fires (for example: open
flame equipment, gas-operated equipment or electric heaters).
• Do not pierce or burn any device cooling circuit components. Do not
ignite the device.
• The device must be stored so as to avoid any mechanical damage
over time.
• The room in which the device is stored, installed and used must be
constructed in such a way that, in the event of a loss of refrigerant
gas, the latter does not create a stagnant effect, creating the risk of
fire and explosion.
• Do not install, operate or store the device in a room smaller than 4
m

.
• Note: the refrigerant is odourless and therefore leaks are difficult to
identify.
• Strictly comply with the national regulations in force concerning
flammable and explosive gases.
• Keep the device air vents free from any obstruction.
• The persons in charge of working on the refrigerant circuit must be in
possession of authorisation to handle refrigerant gases, as indicated
by the standards and by the manufacturer. Maintenance or repairs
that require the intervention of other personnel must be carried out
under the supervision of a competent person qualified for the use of
refrigerant gases. It is always advisable to contact authorised Vortice
support centres.
• Before being disposed of, the device must be labelled with the date
and a signature and with indication that the refrigerant gas has been
emptied. Make sure that the labels indicating the presence of
flammable refrigerant gas are still present on the device.
• Do not use tools that can generate fires when looking for a refrigerant
leak (for example: halogen torch or other open flame devices).
• Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.
•
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector
