Observe the safety data sheet
that accompanies the brine
fluid.
1.2.6 Preventing the risk of
injury from freezing
as a result of touching
coolant
The product is supplied with an
operational filling of R 410 A
refrigerant. Escaping coolant
may cause freezing if the exit
point is touched.
▶
If coolant escapes, do not
touch any components of the
product.
▶
Do not inhale any vapours or
gases that escape from the
refrigerant circuit as a result
of leaks.
▶
Avoid skin or eye contact with
the coolant.
▶
In the event of skin or eye
contact with the coolant, seek
medical advice.
1.2.7 Risk of injury and
material damage due to
maintenance and repairs
carried out incorrectly or
not carried out at all
▶
Never attempt to carry out
maintenance work or repairs
on your product yourself.
▶
Faults and damage should
be immediately rectified by a
competent person.
▶
Adhere to the maintenance
intervals specified.
1.2.8 Risk of material damage
caused by frost
▶
Ensure that the heating in-
stallation always remains in
operation during freezing con-
ditions and that all rooms are
sufficiently heated.
▶
If you cannot ensure the op-
eration, have a competent
person drain the heating in-
stallation.
1.2.9 Avoid environmental
damage caused by
escaping coolant
The product contains R 410 A
refrigerant. The coolant must
not be allowed to escape into
the atmosphere. R410A is a
fluorinated greenhouse gas
covered by the Kyoto Protocol,
with a GWP of 2088 (GWP =
global warming potential). If
this gas escapes into the atmo-
sphere, its impact is 2088 times
greater than the natural green-
house gas CO

.
Before the product is disposed
of, the coolant that is contained
in it must be completely drained
into a suitable vessel so that
