Safety and Handling
Mafron R22 is stored as a liquefied gas under pressure. Protect the cylinder from excessive heat, direct sunlight, physical damage and improper handling. Store it in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.
Contact with liquid refrigerant can cause cold burns or frostbite. A substantial vapour release may displace oxygen, particularly in low or enclosed spaces. Handling, charging and recovery must be performed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician using suitable equipment and personal protective equipment.
Do not puncture, burn, refill or expose the disposable cylinder to excessive heat. Refrigerant recovery, transport and disposal must comply with applicable local requirements and the current Mafron R22 safety data sheet.
