Packing
Packing is made of recyclable material. The disposal of same
should be carried out in accordance with the regulations on
selective residue disposal established by the local authori-

Disposal of the unit
When dismantling after a long service life, its components
should be ecologically salvaged. The cooling circuit is full of
HCFC-22 refrigerant which should be salvaged and, finally,
returned to the gas manufacturer for recycling.
Oil will remain in the airtight compressor so, it will be returned
along with the sealed circuit.
The air conditioning unit will be deposited wherever estab-
lished by the local authorities for its selective disposal.

given to the great quantity of water condensed by the outdoor
coil during winter operation, that must be drained through the
drain pipe.
Occasionally, when the operating cycle is reversed in winter
to remove the frost that forms on the coil, the air could carry
water droplets. This should therefore be kept in mind when
selecting the place of installation and also the possibility of
