CAUTION: Do not clean the coil using high-pressure cleaners so as not to apply excessive pressure which could cause irrepa
-
rable damage. Damage caused by cleaning with unsuitable chemical substances or excessively high water pressure will not
be recognised under warranty.
CAUTION: The aluminium fins are thin and sharp. Pay the utmost attention and use appropriate PPE to avoid cuts and abra
-
sions. Cover your eyes and face appropriately to avoid squirting water and filth while blowing. Wear waterproof shoes or
boots and clothing covering your entire body.
For units installed in aggressive atmospheres with a high fouling rate, cleaning of the coil must be part of the routine main
-
tenance program. In these types of installations, all of the dust and particulates deposited on the coils must be removed as
soon as possible through regular cleaning according to the methods shown above.
9.2
CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
The sheets of the outer casing must be properly cleaned to avoid the accumulation of dust / dirt, preventing the onset of corrosion. The painting
ensures resistance to atmospheric agents but it is good practice to make sure to remove any dirt present, cleaning the surfaces with neutral
detergent and water, especially if the unit is installed in places with an aggressive atmosphere (high level of pollution, salt, etc.).
9.3
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
All extraordinary maintenance jobs must be carried out by an authorised assistance centre.
10. DECOMMISSIONING
Once the unit has reached the end of its life cycle and needs to be replaced, the following operations are recommended:
•
the refrigerant has to be recovered by trained personnel and sent to proper collection centres; according to the procedures indicated in
Regulation No. 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases;
•
any antifreeze additives in the water circuit must be recovered and disposed of properly;
•
the compressors’ lubricating oil has to be collected and sent to proper collection centres;
•
the electronic components, such as regulators, driver boards and inverters, must be disassembled and sent to proper collection centres;
•
The structure and the different components, if unusable, must be scrapped and divided according to their nature; there is especially a good
amount of copper and aluminium in the machine.
These operations allow easy material recovery and the recycling process, thus reducing the environmental impact in accordance with the provi-
sions of Directive 2012/19 / EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (RAEE).
The user is responsible for the proper disposal of this product, according to national regulations in the country of destination of the appliance.
For more information, you should contact the Installation Company or local competent authority.
An incorrect decommissioning of the appliance may create serious environmental damage and endanger people’s safety.
Therefore, it is recommended that the unit be disposed only by authorised persons with technical training who have attend
-
ed training courses acknowledged by the competent authorities.
It is required to follow the same precautions described in the previous paragraphs.
Pay special attention during disposal of the refrigerant gas.
The illegal disposal of the product by the end user leads to the application of the penalties in accordance with the law in the
country where the disposal takes place.
The crossed-out bin symbol applied on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be collect
-
ed separately from other solid/municipal waste.
The units are manufactured in accordance with the EC directive on waste of electric/electronic equipment and the harmful
effects of incorrect disposal are provided in the user/installer manual. The manufacturing company or its importer/retailer is
available to respond to any requests for additional information.
10.1
RESIDUAL RISKS
This paragraph sets forth any residual risks which cannot be eliminated by the manufacturer in the design stage.
Risk due to:
Precautions/Corrections
Handing
There is always the risk of the unit falling or tipping over during handling. Follow the instructions in the “Handling”
section and take all of the precautions foreseen according to local regulations.
Installation
Unsuitable installation can cause water leaks, gas leaks, electric shocks, fire hazards, malfunctioning or damage of the
unit. Only qualified technical personnel can perform installation.
Place the unit in an appropriate area and without the risk of flammable gas leaks. Make the installation zone inacces
-
sible to third parties.
