Application
Soloclim is a reversible airconditioner without outdoor
unit. Soloclim ensures a comfortable room temperature,
whether you want cooling or heating, at a reduced
consumption. Protection class: IPX0.
Soloclim horizontal is designed only for use with R32
gas as the designated refrigerant, with the exception
of SC17DCI-MINI which is designed only for use with
R290 (propane). Both are environmentally friendly
refrigerant gases, with low or negliable Global Warming
Potential (GWP). Special precautions must be taken into
consideration due to the flammability of the refrigerant.
This unit uses a flammable refrigerant. If
refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with fire or
heating part, it will create harmful gas and there
is risk of fire.
Only a qualified technician should attempt to
install and service the unit. Service personnel are
required to carefully read the user manual and
the safety manual "Repair and maintenance -
units with R290/R32/R410a" at www.frico.net.
