Precautions when troubleshooting
WARNING
▪ When carrying out an inspection on the switch box of
the unit, ALWAYS make sure that the unit is
disconnected from the mains. Turn off the respective
circuit breaker.
▪ When a safety device was activated, stop the unit and
find out why the safety device was activated before
resetting it. NEVER shunt safety devices or change
their values to a value other than the factory default
setting. If you are unable to find the cause of the
problem, call your dealer.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

Disposal
NOTICE
Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: dismantling
of the system, treatment of the refrigerant, oil and other
parts MUST comply with applicable legislation. Units
MUST be treated at a specialised treatment facility for
reuse, recycling and recovery.
12.1
Overview: Disposal
Typical workflow
Disposing of the system typically consists of the following stages:
1
Pumping down the system.
2
Bringing the system to a specialized treatment facility.
INFORMATION
For more details, see the service manual.
12.2
To pump down
Example:
To protect the environment, pump down when relocating
the unit or when disposing of the unit.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage.
If you want to pump
down the system, and there is a leak in the refrigerant
circuit:
▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,
with which you can collect all refrigerant from the
system into the outdoor unit.
Possible consequence:
Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor
because of air going into the operating compressor.
▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's
compressor does NOT have to operate.
