Some 50 Hz models may contain up to 150 grams
of R290 (propane) refrigerant. R290 (propane)
is flammable in concentrations of air between
approximately 2.1% and 9.5% by volume (LEL lower
explosion limit and UEL upper explosion limit). An
ignition source at a temperature higher than 470°C is
needed for a combustion to occur. Refer to nameplate
to identify the type of refrigerant in your equipment.
Only trained and qualified personnel aware of the
dangers are allowed to work on the equipment.
