When handling or maintaining the unit and all auxiliary equipment, personnel must operate with care observing all
instructions concerning health and safety at the installation site.
ATTENTION
Numerous accidents that occur during operation and maintenance of the units are caused by failure to comply with
basic safety rules and precautions.
An accident can often be avoided by recognising a situation that is potentially hazardous.
The user must ensure that all personnel involved in operating and servicing the unit have read and understood all the
warnings, precautions, prohibitions and notes given in this manual and affixed to the unit. Improper operation or maintenance
of the unit and auxiliary equipment can be dangerous and can cause serious or fatal accidents.
We cannot anticipate every possible circumstance which might constitute a potential hazard.
The warnings in this manual are therefore not all-inclusive.
If the user adopts operational procedures or uses tools or working procedures that are not specifically recommended, he must
take care to ensure that the unit and the auxiliary equipment are not damaged or made unsafe and that no risks emerge in
relation to persons or property. Any improper use of the unit will relieve the manufacturer from any liability for possible
personal injury or property damage.
Arbitrary modifications made to the unit will automatically invalidate all forms of guarantee provided by the manufacturer.
ATTENTION
The hot / chilled water produced by units cannot be used for hygiene/sanitary or food applications. If it is
used for the above purposes, the installer must install an intermediate exchanger.
If the intermediate exchanger is not present, the installer must affix a warning notice to the effect “non potable
water”.

The user circuit liquids must be compatible with the materials used for the construction of the unit’s hydraulic circuit.
The expression “liquids” means: water, water with additives and/or glycol. Additive and glycol suppliers must guarantee
compatibility with the materials. For further information refer to “4.9 Materials in contact with the liquid to be cooled”.
ATTENTION
If the liquids in the user circuit contain hazardous substances (such as glycol, for example), any liquid that is expelled
from a leakage area must be collected because it is noxious for the environment. The disposal of hazardous liquids must be
handled by specialised companies authorised for the treatment of hazardous wastes.
