1. Installation (Space)
• That the installation of pipe-work shall be kept to a minimum.
• That pipe-work shall be protected from physical damage and
shall not be installed in an unventilated space.
• That compliance with national gas regulations shall be
observed.
• That mechanical connections shall be accessible for
maintenance purposes.
• In cases that require mechanical ventilation, ventilation
openings shall be kept clear of obstruction.
• When disposing of the product is used, be based on national
regulations, properly processed.
• An unventilated area where the appliance using flammable
refrigerants is installed shall be so constructed that should
any refrigerant leak, it will not stagnate so as to create a fire
or explosion hazard
–
The appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area
where the room size corresponds to the room area as
specified for operation;
–
The appliance shall be stored in a room without
continuously operating open flames (for example an
operating gas appliance) and ignition sources (for example
an operating electric heater).
• Other potential continuously operating sources known to
cause ignition of the refrigerant used.
• The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical
damage from occurring.
CAUTION
WARNING
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to
clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously
operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an
operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that the R32 refrigerant does not contain an odour.
• Do not disconnect the pipe connection after checking the
leak otherwise it may cause refrigerant leakage.
WARNING
This symbol shows that this equipment
uses a flammable refrigerant (A2L).
If the refrigerant is leaked, together with
an external ignition source, there is a
possibility of ignition.
CAUTION
This symbol shows that the Operation
Manual should be read carefully.
CAUTION
This symbol shows that a service personnel
should be handling this equipment with
reference to the Installation Manual.
CAUTION
This symbol shows that there is information
included in the Operation Manual and/or
Installation Manual.
Explanation of symbols displayed on the indoor unit or
outdoor unit.
• The following chart and table shows the minimum floor area (A
min
)
required for the installation of an indoor unit from a refrigerant
system containing a certain refrigerant charge (m
c
) of R32 (A2L
refrigerant), and supposing a total room height not lower than 2.2
m. (According to IEC 60335-2-40:2018 and
EN 378-1:2016).
• For m
c
<1.84 kg, IEC 60335-2-40:2018 and EN 378-1:2016 do not
establish any minimum floor area restriction. In that case check
local regulations to ensure that no hard restrictions may apply.
