Notes regarding the combustible refrigerant propane
The air conditioner contains propane (R290) as a refrigerant�
Propane is a colourless, odourless gas with minimal global warming potential that
complies with European environmental regulations on refrigerants� Improper handling
or unforeseen events can lead to accidents or damage that cause gas to leak from the
air conditioner�
The danger of an incident with severe consequences occurring is very minimal with an
air conditioner of this size�
Propane in combination with air is highly combustible and can lead to an explosion.
• Only operate and store the air conditioner in rooms with an area of 10 m² to avoid the danger of a
concentration of flammable gas building up in the air.
If the cooling circuit is leaking, the escaping propane can ignite.
•
If gas flows out of the air conditioner, call the fire brigade immediately!
In this case, do not pull the mains plug and do not switch on or off any other electrical devices�
• Do not damage the cooling circuit or any of its components�
The gas is pressurised and can explode if heated.
• Only install and operate the unit in accordance with national regulations�
• Observe national gas regulations�
• Do not use any medium to accelerate the thawing process�
•
The refrigerant levels outlined in the technical specifications (chapter 2.4) must not be exceeded.
Propane that is on fire cannot be extinguished with water.
•
Extinguish burning propane with a fire extinguisher containing alcohol-resistant foam, carbon di
-
oxide (CO
2
) or extinguishing powder�
Propane is colourless, odourless and heavier than air. Leaking gas is very difficult to detect.
Propane is mildly toxic. Inhaling high concentrations of propane can lead to poisoning.
• Avoid the vicinity of leaking propane�
• Immediately seek fresh air if you have inhaled propane�
Propane removes a large amount of heat from its immediate vicinity as it leaks out from the air conditio-
ner. Propane has the potential to burn the skin.
• If you come into direct contact with propane, thoroughly rinse the area of contact with cold to lu-
kewarm water�
• If you receive burns or experience nausea due to propane, seek immediate medical attention�
