residual risks.
GENERAL WARNINGS
ATTENTION:
— The machine must be transported in compliance with the laws in force in the
country of destination, considering the characteristics of the fluids it contains
and their characterisation. Incorrect transport could cause machine damage,
which would also generate refrigerant leaks. Before the first start-up, it is neces-
sary to search for any leaks using suitable personal protective equipment;
— When the product is received, check the condition and completeness of the
supply and, if it does not match what was ordered, contact the agency that sold
