About the refrigerant
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent gases into the
atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R32
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675
NOTICE
Applicable legislation on fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that the refrigerant
charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO
2
equivalent.
Formula to calculate the quantity in CO
2
equivalent tonnes: GWP value of the
refrigerant × total refrigerant charge [in kg]/1000
Contact your installer for more information.
NOTICE
Maintenance MUST be done by an authorised installer or service agent.
We recommend performing maintenance at least once a year. However, applicable
legislation might require shorter maintenance intervals.
WARNING
▪ The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable, but normally does NOT leak. If
the refrigerant leaks in the room and comes in contact with fire from a burner, a
heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire, or the formation of a harmful gas.
▪ Turn OFF any combustible heating devices, ventilate the room, and contact the
dealer where you purchased the unit.
▪ Do NOT use the unit until a service person confirms that the part from which the
refrigerant leaked has been repaired.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.
▪ Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to accelerate the defrosting process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system is odourless.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
To clean the air conditioner or air filter, be sure to stop operation and turn all power
supplies OFF. Otherwise, an electrical shock and injury may result. In case the unit is
equipped with a refrigerant leakage sensor, turn the power supply breaker back ON
immediately after cleaning in order to maintain detection functionality.
