DECOMMISSIONING OF THE UNIT
DISCONNECTING THE UNIT
The units must be disconnected by authorised personnel,
who before proceeding must first read the Residual Risks
section in this manual.
Before disconnecting the unit, the following must be
recovered, if present:
•
the refrigerant (if the circuits cannot be isolated):
the refrigerant must be removed using suction
devices operating in a closed circuit, so as to
ensure that none of the compound is released
into the atmosphere.
•
the antifreeze in the circuits: when removing this
fluid, make sure that it does not leak and that it is
not released into the environment. The antifreeze
fluid must be stored in special containers.
When recovering the substances present in the unit, all
measures must be taken to avoid damaging persons and
things and polluting the surrounding area.
Awaiting dismantling and disposal, the unit can also be
stored outdoors, as bad weather and rapid changes in
temperature will not cause damage to the environment, if
electric, cooling and hydraulic circuits of the unit are
integral and closed.
DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL
THE UNIT MUST ALWAYS BE SENT TO AUTHORISED
CENTRES FOR DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL.
When dismantling the unit, the fan, the motor and the coil,
if operating, may be recovered by the specialist centres for
reuse.
All the materials must be recovered or disposed of in
compliance with the corresponding national standards in
force.
For further information on the decommissioning of the unit,
contact the manufacturer

2002/96/CE DIRECTIVE REV.1 DEL
29/01/07
ATTENTION: This document contains important information
for the disposal and/or recycling of the unit. Before installing
the unit, carefully read the use and maintenance manual
included with it. Carefully conserve all of the documentation
for the entire life cycle of the unit.
With the aim of protecting the environment, all of our units
are produced in compliance with Direttiva 2002/96/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
The potential effects on the environment and on human
health due to the presence of hazardous substances are
shown in the use and maintenance manual in the section
on residual risks.
Information in addition to that indicated below, if required,
can be obtained from the manufacturer/distributor/importer,
who are responsible for the collection/handling of waste
originating from equipment covered by 2002/96/EC. This
information is also available from the retailer who sold this
appliance or from the local authorities who handle waste.
The 2002/96/EC directive is applicable only in the
European Community and must always be complied with
unless otherwise directed by the legislation of single
nations.
In all member states, there are fines for fines for violation of
the contents and requirements of this directive.
If the equipment is sold outside the European Community,
only local standards need to be complied with.
Directive 2002/96/EC requires disposal and recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment as described therein to
be handled through appropriate collection, in suitable
centres, separate from collection for the disposal of mixed
urban waste.
This type of separate management aims to reduce the
waste composed of electrical and electronic equipment by
providing for it during the design phase and by promoting
re-use and recycling.
The 2002/96/EC directive also includes as objectives the
reduction in use of hazardous substances in electronic and
electrical equipment and the improvement of participation,
as far as the environment is concerned, of individuals
involved in the life cycle of said equipment.
To distinguish the units that are covered by
the 2002/96/EC directive, they are marked by
a symbol which indicatesseparate collection.
This symbol shows a waste bin on wheels
with a bar through it (as shown in attachment
4 of the directive).
The user must not dispose of the unit at the end of its life
cycle as urban waste. It must instead be handed over to
appropriate collection centres as set forth by current
standards or as instructed by the distributor.If disposal
takes places at the same time as delivery of a new
electrical or electronic equipment for the same family, the
product may be collected directly by the distributor.
