The Refrigerant
To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the system.
The refrigerant is the fluoride R32 = GWP (
Global warming potential).
This refrigerant is
flammable and inodorous. It can lead to explosions under certain conditions, however the
flammability of this refrigerant is very low and it can be ignited only by fire.
Compared to other common refrigerants, R32 is a non-polluting refrigerant with no harm to
the ozonosphere and a lower effect upon the greenhouse effect. R32 has very good
thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy efficiency. The units therefore
need less filling.
Warning:
Do not try to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the appliance in different ways other than
those recommended by the manufacturer. Should repair be necessary, contact your nearest
authorized Argoclima Service Centre. Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be
dangerous. The appliance has to be stored in a room that doesn’t have any continuously operating
ignition sources. (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric
heater.) Do not pierce or burn.
Appliance has to be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than X m2.
(Please refer to table "a" in section of " Safety Operation of Inflammable Refrigerant" for Space X.)
For repairs, strictly follow manufacturer’s instructions only for appliances filled with R32 flammable
gas. Be aware that refrigerants do not have any odour.
Appliance filled with flammable gas R32.
Before using the appliance, read the owner’s manual.
Before installing the appliance, read the installation manual.
Before repairing the appliance, read the service manual.
