1.0. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The Refrigerant
To perform its air conditioning functions, the unit uses a special type of refrigerant, uoride R32, a partic-
ularly clean refrigerant. It is ammable and odourless. Furthermore, it can cause an explosion under cer-
tain conditions. The ammability of the refrigerant, however, is very low and only re can ignite the gas.
Compared to common refrigerants, R32 is a non-polluting refrigerant that does not harm the ozono-
sphere. Its contribution to the global greenhouse effect is signicantly lower as well. R32 has very good
thermodynamic characteristics that give it very high energy efciency. The units therefore require less
lling.
▪ Keep the ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure
or built-in structure unobstructed.
▪ Do not use any means to accelerate the defrosting or
cleaning process other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. If repairs are necessary, contact the near-
est Authorized Service Center.
▪ Repairs carried out by unqualied personnel may be
dangerous.
▪ Do not puncture or burn.
▪ The appliance must be installed, operated and stored in a
room that is larger than the minimum room area (please,
refer to the nameplate for minimum room area).
▪ Appliance lled with ammable gas R32. For repairs,
strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
▪ Be aware that the refrigerant is odourless.
▪ When servicing or disposing of the appliance, the refrig-
erant inside the system must be recovered, as it cannot
be discharged freely.
▪ The unit may only be serviced according to the method
suggested by the manufacturer.
▪ The appliance must be stored in a room without an open
ame that is permanently in operation (a gas appliance)
and without an ignition source (an electric heater) in the
vicinity of the appliance. No open re (heated equipment
such as an electric heater, gas stove, etc.) or any equip-
ment that could generate an electric arc around the ap-
pliance (a switch).
▪ The appliance must be stored in such a way as to prevent
mechanical damage.
WARNING
NOTICE : Any person working on or accessing a refrigerant system must be in possession of a valid
certicate in accordance with an industry-recognized evaluation specication that conrms his or her
ability to handle refrigerants safely.
Maintenance shall only be performed according to the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
Servicing and repairs requiring the assistance of other qualied persons must be carried out under the
supervision of the person competent in the use of ammable refrigerants.
