Repairing Refrigerant Leaks
WARNING
•
If the refrigerant leaks, turn off the air
conditioner and any combustible heating
devices, ventilate the room and call your
dealer immediately. Refrigerant is both toxic
and flammable.
DO NOT
use the air
conditioner until the leak is repaired.
•
When the air conditioner is installed in a
small room, measures must be taken to
prevent the refrigerant concentration from
exceeding the safety limit in the event of
refrigerant leakage. Concentrated
refrigerant causes a severe health and safety
threat.
