Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process for example with an open flame or other methods besides the heat pump´s
defrosting program.
▪
Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel for handling the refrigerant. Additionally, reference the regulations and laws.

The following checks shall be performed for installation: The ventilation devices and outlets are operating normally and are not
obstructed. Markings and signs on the equipment shall be visible and legible.
▪
Upon leakage of the refrigerant, ventilate the room. If the leaked refrigerant is exposed to a flame source, it may generate toxic
gases.
