STARTING
Before starting it is opportune to carry out some checks:
(follow the safety instructions
in section DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY):
- Make sure there is no condensation inside the unit, and if
necessary,wiipe
it dry before attempting to operate the unit;
- Check the filters status;
- Make sure the product does not contain any foreign
matters and that all components are fastened in their
seats;
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
Before starting any operation, make sure the product is
excluded from any electrical connection and the impeller
is switched off. Disassembly and assembly are extraordi-
nary maintenance operations and must be carried out by
qualified personnel.
DISPOSAL
Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 4 July 2012 on waste electrical and electro-
nic equipment (WEEE).
The WEEE symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that the product must not be disposed of with
normal household waste. Instead, such marked waste
equipment must be disposed of by arranging to return to a
designated collection point for the recycling of waste
electrical and electronic equipment. By separating and
recycling this waste equipment at the time of disposal will
help to conserve natural resources and ensure that the
equipment is recycled in a manner that protects human
health and the environment. The final user will provide to
deliver the product no longer in use in municipal electrical
and electronic waste collection, or return it to the retailed
as ollows:
- distributors provide for the collection, at retail shops with
sales areas relating to EEE of at least 400 m2, or in their
immediate proximity of very small WEEE (no external
dimension more than 25 cm) free of charge to end-users
and with no obligation to buy EEE of an equivalent type;
- for products with external dimension more than 25 cm,
distributors are responsible for ensuring that such waste
can be returned to the distributor at least free of charge on
a one-to-one basis as long as the equipment is of equiva-
lent type and has fulfilled the same functions as the
supplied equipment. The Member States shall lay down the
rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the natio-
nal provisions adopted pursuant to
this Directive and shall take all measures necessary to
ensure that they are implemented. The penalties provided
for must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - Troubleshooting
The law on the regulation of the use of substances that
damage the ozone in the atmosphere state that it is forbid-
den to release coolant gases into the atmosphere,
obliging the users to recover these gases and return them
at the end of their useful life to dealers or special collection
centers. The coolant used by this unit is listed among the
substances that require special handling as foreseen by
current laws and that must therefore comply with the
above-mentioned provisions. It is therefore highly recom-
mendable to perform all maintenance operations with
maximum care in order to minimize coolant leaks.
ENSURING PROPER INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR SERVI-
CING OF THE EQUIPMENT
Installation and maintenance or servicing of equipment
should be carried out by personnel and companies
holding an appropriate certificate.
PREVENTING AND REPAIRING LEAKAGES
All operators of stationary refrigeration, air conditioning
and heat pump applications, regardless of the amount of
the quantity of refrigerant contained, must:
- prevent leakage
- repair leakages as soon as possible once they have been
detected, through all measures technically feasible and
not entailing disproportionate costs.
CHECKING FOR LEAKAGE
Working and temporarily out of operation applications
containing 3kg or more (6kg or more in case of hermetical-
ly sealed systems labeled as such) of F-Gas refrigerant,
have to be checked for leakage at regular intervals. The
operator of the application is responsible for ensuring that
this check is carried out by certified personnel.
RECOVERING THE REFRIGERANT
Operators must make arrangements for the proper reco-
very, i.e. the collection and storage, by certified personnel
of F-Gas refrigerants from the cooling circuits of stationary
refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment
to ensure their recycling, reclamation or destruction. This
activity must take place before the final disposal of the
equipment and when appropriate during maintenance or
servicing work.
