operation
INFORMATION
▪ Even if the unit is turned OFF, it consumes electricity.
▪ When the power turns back on after a power break, the
previously selected mode will be resumed.
CAUTION
NEVER expose little children, plants or animals directly to
the airflow.
NOTICE
Do NOT place objects below the indoor and/or outdoor unit
that may get wet. Otherwise condensation on the unit or
refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may cause
dripping, and objects under the unit may get dirty or
damaged.

Maintenance and service
7.1
Overview: Maintenance and
service
The installer has to perform a yearly maintenance.
About the refrigerant
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent
gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R32
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675
NOTICE
Applicable legislation on
fluorinated greenhouse gases
requires that the refrigerant charge of the unit is indicated
both in weight and CO
2
equivalent.
Formula to calculate the quantity in CO
2
equivalent
tonnes:
GWP value of the refrigerant × total refrigerant
charge [in kg]/1000
Contact your installer for more information.
NOTICE
Maintenance MUST be done by an authorised installer or
service agent.
We recommend performing maintenance at least once a
year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter
maintenance intervals.
WARNING
▪ The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable, but
normally does NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the
room and comes in contact with fire from a burner, a
heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire, or the
formation of a harmful gas.
▪ Turn OFF any combustible heating devices, ventilate
the room, and contact the dealer where you purchased
the unit.
▪ Do NOT use the unit until a service person confirms
that the part from which the refrigerant leaked has been
repaired.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.
▪ Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to accelerate
the defrosting process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system is
odourless.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical
damage and in a well-ventilated room without continuously
operating ignition sources (e.g. open flames, an operating
gas appliance, or an operating electric heater). The room
size shall be as specified in the General safety precaution.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
To clean the air conditioner or air filter, be sure to stop
operation and turn all power supplies OFF. Otherwise, an
electrical shock and injury may result.
WARNING
To prevent electrical shocks or fire:
▪ Do NOT rinse the unit.
▪ Do NOT operate the unit with wet hands.
▪ Do NOT place any objects containing water on the unit.
CAUTION
After a long use, check the unit stand and fitting for
damage. If damaged, the unit may fall and result in injury.
CAUTION
Do NOT touch the heat exchanger fins. These fins are
sharp and could result in cutting injuries.
WARNING
Be careful with ladders when working in high places.
