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
Refrigerant type: R410A
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 2087.5
NOTICE
In Europe, the
greenhouse gas emissions
of the total
refrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes
CO
2
-equivalent) is used to determine the maintenance
intervals. Follow the applicable legislation.
Formula to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions:
GWP value of the refrigerant × Total refrigerant charge [in
kg] / 1000
Please contact your installer for more information.
WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The R32 refrigerant (if applicable) in this unit is mildly
flammable.
(a)
(a)
Refer to the outdoor unit specifications for the type of
refrigerant to be used.
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
R410A is a non-combustible refrigerant, and R32 is a
mildly flammable refrigerant; they normally don’t 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 a
fire (in case of R32), or the formation of a harmful gas.
Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate the
room, and contact the dealer from 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.

After-sales service and warranty
12.3.1
Warranty period
▪ This product includes a warranty card that was filled in by the
dealer at the time of installation. The completed card has to be
checked by the customer and stored carefully.
▪ If repairs to the product are necessary within the warranty period,
contact your dealer and keep the warranty card at hand.
12.3.2
Recommended maintenance and
inspection
Since dust collects when using the unit for several years,
performance of the unit will deteriorate to some extent. As taking
apart and cleaning interiors of units requires technical expertise and
in order to ensure the best possible maintenance of your units, we
recommend to enter into a maintenance and inspection contract on
top of normal maintenance activities. Our network of dealers has
access to a permanent stock of essential components in order to
keep your unit in operation as long as possible. Contact your dealer
for more information.
When asking your dealer for an intervention, always state:
▪ The complete model name of the unit.
▪ The manufacturing number (stated on the nameplate of the unit).
▪ The installation date.
▪ The symptoms or malfunction, and details of the defect.
WARNING
▪ Do not modify, disassemble, remove, reinstall or repair
the unit yourself as incorrect dismantling or installation
may cause an electric shock or fire. Contact your
dealer.
▪ In case of accidental refrigerant leaks, make sure there
are no naked flames. The refrigerant itself is entirely
safe and non-toxic. R410A is a non-combustible
refrigerant, and R32 is a mildly flammable refrigerant,
but they will generate a toxic gas when they
accidentally leak into a room where combustible air
from fan heaters, gas cookers, etc. is present. Always
have qualified service personnel confirm that the point
of leakage has been repaired or corrected before
resuming operation.
