• For any component or sub-assembly containing a battery: do not recharge or dismantle the battery, or throw
it into a fire. Do not expose it to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
• In stormy weather, disconnect the appliance from the power supply to prevent it from suffering lightning
damage.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water (with the exception of cleaners) or mud.
WARNINGS CONCERNING APPLIANCES CONTAINING R32 REFRIGERANT
• This device contains R32 refrigerant, a class A2L refrigerant, which is considered to be potentially flammable.
• Do not discharge R32 fluid into the atmosphere. These are fluorinated greenhouse effect gases, covered by
the Kyoto Protocol, with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 675 (EU Regulation No. 517/2014).
• In order to comply with relevant environmental and installations standards and regulations such as, but
not limited to, French decree No. 2015-1790 and/or the EU Regulation EU 517/2014, the cooling circuit
must be checked for leakage at least once a year. This operation must be carried out by a certified cooling
appliance specialist.
• The device must be stored in a ventilated place away from all sources of fire.
• Install the unit outdoors. Do not install the unit indoors or in an enclosed, non-ventilated area outdoors.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open
flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that R32 refrigerants may not contain an odour.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
• The appliance may not be installed close to combustible materials, or an air duct inlet of an adjacent building.
• With some appliances, it is essential to fit protection grids if the unit is installed in an area with uncontrolled
access.
• During installation, troubleshooting and maintenance, pipes may not be used as steps: the pipe could break
under the weight, spilling coolant and possibly causing serious burns.
• When servicing the appliance, the composition and state of the heat transfer fluid must be checked, as well
as the absence of any traces of coolant.
• During the appliance's annual sealing test in accordance with applicable legislation, the high and low
pressure switches must be checked to ensure that they are securely fastened to the cooling circuit and that
they cut off the electrical circuit when tripped.
• During maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around the cooling components.
• Before beginning work on the cooling circuit, stop the appliance and wait for a few minutes before fitting the
temperature and pressure sensors. Some elements such as the compressor and piping may reach temperatures
in excess of 100°C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe burns.
