Flammable refrigerant
Safety and warning notes for units with flammable refrigerants.
WARNING
The refrigerant R-290 belongs to safety group A3 according to ASHRAE 34.
The refrigerant used and the fill quantity are indicated on the power rating plate (see chapter
2.2.1).
The refrigerant is highly flammable.
If leaks occur, the refrigerant can escape and create an explosive gas/air mixture. This can lead to fire and
explosion with subsequent fire risk.
Keep away from ignition sources (heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces).
To remove condensation and for cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge.
Do not use dry clothes or sponges for rubbing dry.
(Danger of electrostatic charging and sparking).
Requirements for the installation area:
The device must only be installed in well-ventilated areas.
Do not install the unit in basements or lowered areas.
Ducts and wall penetrations must be sealed close to the unit in accordance with fire protection laws
.
Fluid refrigerant causes frostbite on the skin.
Protect hands and face from contact with fluid/leaking refrigerant.
Wear protective goggles and gloves.
Do not close the air vents in the unit housing. Use only original accessories.
To accelerate the defrosting process, do not use any mechanical devices or other means (e.g. ice
scrapers).
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not expose the unit during storage and transport to temperatures higher than 70°C (158°F).
Avoid transmission of pulsations and vibrations to the unit.
Avoid external force upon the unit such as careless movements with forklift trucks or floor
cleaning machines.
Drilling or other work on the unit is not permitted.
Do not squeeze or bend pipes
AHT Cooling Systems GmbH
page 8
Do not operate any electrical devices (e.g. wet vacuum cleaners) within the refrigerator compartment that
are not of the type recommended by the manufacturer. Devices with explosion protection markings (see
chapter
1.2) are permitted.
Steam or high-pressure cleaners may not be used for the basic cleaning (see chapter 10.1.1).
Work on the electrical system and the cold system must only be performed by qualified staff (staff trained in
flammable refrigerants).
Opening the refrigerant circuit and suctioning of the refrigerant may only be performed in a well-
ventilated area outside of business hours of the market (without customer traffic) or outdoors.
Disconnect the unit before each maintenance/repair (see chapter 9.2).
Secure the unit against restarting.
During repairs, a knowledgeable person who knows the local conditions must be available, as the
contact person, for the authorized AHT experts.
Dispose of units with flammable refrigerant and units with insulating foam (thermal insulation polyurethane
foam with pentane) appropriately. Inquire with the responsible authorities about the safety and statutory
disposal regulations applicable to you.
The product was designed to take into account the environmental and disposal friendliness of AHT units. The
refrigerant R-290 and the propellant pentane (for the insulating foam) do not have any ozone depletion potential
and do not contribute directly to the greenhouse effect.
Mechanical hazards
WARNING

Opening/Closing the glass lids. Hands (body parts) can be pinched.
During opening/closing do not grip the gaps.
When opening/closing pay attention to other people.
AHT Cooling Systems GmbH
page 9
Safety by handling of glass
CAUTION
Glass breakage hazard. Cutting injuries to the body. Impact injury.
Do not install units with multi-pane insulating glass at altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft).
Multipane insulating glass can break due to air pressure differences.
Do not apply a load onto the glass lids.
Check for damage (crack, fissure, breakage) of the glass lids/glass elements. In the event
of damage, contact the maintenance service immediately (see chapter 10.4).
Do not climb onto or into the unit.
It is prohibited to store glass containers when operating below 0°C (32°F).
Check breakage of glass containers when operating above 0°C (32°F).
Disposal of broken glass. Cutting injuries to hands.
Wear protective gloves to remove splintered glass parts and the possibly damaged goods.

2 Product description
General information
In the product design, the manufacturer has
considered the environmental and disposal-
friendliness of the device, in particular, for the
refrigerant propane (R-290) and the propellant
pentane (for the insulating foam). Propane does not
have any ozone depletion potential (ODP) and only a
very low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3.

cream, pre-packed frozen or medium temperature
foods depending on setting (setting see →chapter 2.2).
Further information see chapter 1.3
3 Layout and function
The equipment is a self contained plug-in unit.
All individual units are delivered ready for operation
and have their own control unit.
All units are delivered with a customer specific factory
setting. Each unit contains one or more hermetically
sealed refrigerant circuits, the components of which
are technically connected to each other permanently.
The units can operate in 5 different operating modes
(see chapter 4.2.1.2):
Two settings Customer specific,
Refrigerator,
Freezer or
Ice cream freezer.
The waste heat generated in the unit is discharged to
the ambient air via an air condenser.
The unit is defrosting automatically to keep the inner
tank free of frost and ice. The unit works properly
even when the frost/ice accumulates on the surface
of the inner tank. Automatic defrost and the button
[MAN. DEFROST] for semi-automatic defrost are set
inactive in freezer mode.
AHT Cooling Systems GmbH
page 11
A limited number of semi-automatic defrosts can be
performed (see chapter 4.2.1.3).
Depending on the setting, individual variations of
interior equipment (air ducts, floor grilles, partition
grilles, standing baskets) are possible.
NOTICE
Property damage due to missing interior.
Wall grills must be used in every setting.
Never operate in refrigerator setting without air
ducts and floor grills.
All units are equipped with load lines (see chapter
9.1).
All units are classified in the equipment family
horizontal closed transparent (HCT).
Automatic defrost
Triggered by a factory-set time, the unit starts one
defrost cycle per week (during night time).
Defrost cycle stops automatically when ice/frost is
removed (triggered by the internal temperature sensor
or software based max. time out period).
During automatic defrost the display shows “dEF” (see
chapter 4.2.1).
The accumulated defrost water is drained to the engine
room and gets evaporated.
CAUTION
Leakage of defrosted water.
Slipping hazard.
Check for puddle formation in front of
and below the device.
Remove spilled defrosted water
immediately.
Contact maintenance services (see
chapter 10.4) immediately.
4 Operating and display elements
Temperature display
Indication of indoor temperature: (see chapter
4.2.1).
Indoor temperature check:
Responsibility: operating staff
Frequency: several times a day
Operating panel and display elements
To get to the operating panel, remove the protection
acrylic cover with a screwdriver.
CAUTION
Removal of the protection acrylic cover with a
screwdriver. Stab injury.
Carefully handling with tool.
Select the proper size of the screwdriver to
avoid slipping.
After use
ensure that the screwdriver is kept
neatly and safely.
NOTICE

performed by qualified staff.
CAUTION
Improper disposal. Environmental damage.
Pay special attention to safe and
environmentally sound disposal
of the refrigerant,
of the insulating foam (e.g. heat-
insulating material is polyurethane
foam with pentane),
of the compressor oil,
of the battery
