Recycling
This symbol is required by the European direcve DEEE 2012/19/EU (direcve on waste electrical and electronic
equipment) and means that your appliance must not be thrown into a normal bin. It will be selecvely collected
for the purpose of reuse, recycling or creang value. If it contains any substances that may be harmful to the
environment, these will be eliminated or neutralised. Contact your retailer for recycling informaon.
RECOVERING
• When removing refrigerant from a system. either for servicing or decommissioning,
it is recommended good pracce that all refrigerants are removed safely.
• When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant
recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for
holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated
for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders
for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve
and associated shut-o valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are
evacuated and. if possible. cooled before recovery occurs.
• The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instrucons
concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery
of all appropriate refrigerants including, when applicable, ammable refrigerants.
In addion, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good
working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in
good condion. Before using the recovery appliance, check that it is in sasfactory
working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical
components are sealed to prevent ignion in the event of a refrigerant release.
Consult manufacturer it in doubt.
• The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct
recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix
refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
• If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed. ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that ammable refrigerant does
not remain within the lubricant. The evacuaon process shall be carried out prior to
returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heang to the compressor
body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When all is drained from a system,
it shall be carried out safely.
