equipment, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that R32 refrigerant does NOT contain an odour.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage and in a well-
ventilated room without continuously operating ignition sources (example: open
flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).

from Daikin and with applicable legislation (for example national gas regulation) and
are executed only by authorised persons.
