------------------------------------------------------------------
INFORMATION FOR INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEERS
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it is required to provide
information on substances hazardous to health (COSHH Regulations 1998).
Cool Energy takes every reasonable care to ensure that these products are designed and constructed to meet these
general safety requirements, provided they are properly installed and used.
To fulfil this requirement, products are comprehensively tested and examined before dispatch.
When working on the appliance, it is the responsibility of the user/engineer to ensure that any necessary personal
protective clothing or equipment is worn when appropriate for parts, which could be considered hazardous or
harmful.
This appliance may contain some of the items below:
Refrigerants
The appliance contains R410a refrigerant. The constituents of R410a are R134a, R32 and R125 all of which have low
toxicity levels.
When handling, avoid inhalation and contact with the skin and eyes. Suitable personal protective equipment (PPE)
must be worn (gloves, overalls, eye protection) and a comprehensive first aid kit (containing eyewash) should be
easily available.
Site engineers should have a certificate of competence and should know and understand the properties and hazards
before handling liquid refrigerants.
When the appliance has come to the end of its life span, an approved engineer must dispose of the equipment and
refrigerants in accordance with the EU laws.
Seek urgent medical attention if in haled or digested. Exposure to eyes and skin should be followed by immediate
cleansing of the affected areas and medical attention if necessary.
Insulation
Fibre insulation may be irritating to the skin, eyes, nose and throat. When handling, avoid inhalation and contact
with the eyes. Use disposable gloves, facemasks and eye protection.
After handling, wash hands and other exposed parts. When disposing, reduce dust with water spray and ensure all
parts are securely wrapped.
Glue, Sealants and Paints
Glue, sealants and paints are used in this appliance and present no known hazards when used in the manner of
which they are intended.
Oils
The compressor contains FV50S oil within the refrigeration system. The compressor itself is hermetically sealed, and
this cannot be repaired.
Manual Handling
Air Source Heat Pumps are by nature bulky and heavy items.
Please pay attention to the weight of the unit before attempting
to move it. It may be necessary to use lifting aids to ensure
safe manual handling to avoid injury.
The weight of the heat pumps can be found on data sheets,
packaging and product data badges.
