13. DECOMMISSIONING THE UNIT
When the unit has reached the end of its useful life and must therefore be removed and replaced, adhere to the
following rules:
- the refrigerant must be recovered by a qualified technician and sent to an authorised collection centre;
- also the compressor lubrication oil must be recovered and sent to a collection centre;
- the structure and components, if unusable, must be stripped down and separated according to the material
type; this is particularly important for copper and aluminium, which are fairly abundant on the machine.
This procedure is designed to assist the work of collection, disposal, and recovery specialists and to reduce the
associated environmental impact.
