PRODUCT RECYCLING INSTRUCTIONS

This unit has a refrigeration gas in liquid state and electrical components. When the heat pump
concludes its working life, it should be dismantled by a specialist company or you may take it
to your local authority's disposal facility.
In order to reduce the amount of electric and electronic waste, the
danger of its components, to promote the reuse of the equipment,
waste reclamation and to establish an adequate waste management
that may improve the efficiency of environmental protection, a number
of regulations applicable to the manufacture of the product and others
related to an adequate environmental management once the product
has become waste are set out.
Furthermore, it is intended to improve the environmental behaviour of
all stakeholders involved in the lifecycle of electric and electronic devices such as
manufacturers, distributors, users and, in particular, those directly involved in managing the
waste from such equipment.
From 13th of August 2005, whenever you want to discard this equipment, you have two
possible return options:
- If you buy a new one that is of equivalent type or has the same functions, you may hand it
back to the distributor, at no cost to you, when buying the new one.
- Or you may take it to your local authority's disposal facilities.
The equipment is tagged with a symbol that has been cross-over (rubbish bin), and this symbol
means that it must be separated from other urban waste and collected separately.
Potential effects on the environment or human health of the hazardous elements it may
contain.
PVC
The most widely used plasticizing agent in applications of PVC is DEHP (Diethylhexyl phthalate).
Trials carried out in several laboratories show that it does not pose a risk to human health in
the concentrated levels used in finished products, according to reports from BUA in Germany
(Advisory Committee on Existing Chemicals of Environmental Relevance) and the BGA (Health
German Authority), amongst others. The results from such trials, together with data obtained
from biodegradatio studies, confirm that DEHP cannot be considered hazardous for the
environment. All additives used in PVC formulations and, thus, in food applications are fully
regulated both at European and Spanish level.
In Europe, there is the EU 90/128/EEC Commission Directive subsequently amended by EU
95/3/EEC. In Spain, there is the Spanish Royal Decree 1125/1982 of 30th of April, ratified by
the Spanish Royal Decree 1042/1997 of 27th of June of that same year.
Modern technology applied to PVC production plants for some years allows us to declare that
such plants do not pose a threat to the environment, the Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) show that
