WARNING

1.Refrigerant R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F.

2.Refrigerant R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames) R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.

3.Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.

4.Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.

5.Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing. Refrigerant leaks can be detected by charging the unit with a little refrigerant, raising the pressure with nitrogen and using an electronic leak detector.

Note: All brazing connections are clear-paint coated. Use sandpaper to remove the coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.
