4 Safety
4.1 Safety recommendations
a
You must comply with the
following recommendations
and safety instructions:
• Never perform any maintenance or
repair of the appliance yourself.
Only competent persons are allowed to
work on the appliance.
• Never tamper with safety devices.
• Do not attempt to modify the appliance
or its immediate surroundings as this
may affect on the safe use of the
appliance.
• Under no circumstances must the user
interfere with or adjust sealed parts.
• Do not allow children to operate the
appliance.
Certain home improvements may
adversely affect the operation of your
appliance – you should consult your
installer for advice before carrying out any
work.
• Do not expose the appliance to high
humidity.
• Do not use or store explosive or
inflammable materials (e.g. petrol,
aerosols, solvents, chlorine based
detergents, paint, glue etc.) in the same
room as the appliance. Under certain
conditions, these substances can prove
to be corrosive.
• Do not touch the heated surfaces of
the appliance, such as outlet duct,
hydraulic connections, also after the
appliance operation because, for
a certain time, these surfaces may
become hot. Any contact with them can
cause burns.
This appliance contains metal parts
(components) and care should be
taken when handling and cleaning, with
particular regard to edges.
• Do not store or place articles on the
appliance.
• Do not cover the appliance as this will
give rise to a risk of overheating.
• Do not climb on the heat pump, and do
not attempt to move it once installed.
• Do no insert sticks or your fingers
through the protective grill of the fan as
it rotates at high speed.
• Do not clean the appliance by hosing it
down.
• Do not unplug the appliance while in
operation. In case of emergency, cut off
power supply at the switchboard.
4.2 Refrigerating fluid
The refrigerant fluid contains gases that,
when released into the atmosphere,
may affect the environment by depleting
the ozone layer, contributing to the
greenhouse effect and an increase in
temperature. The risk of leakage cannot
be excluded for devices intended to
operate for many years and subject to the
effects of the environment.
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is
composed, on one hand, of indirect carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions originating from
the energy consumed by the installations,
and on the other hand, of direct emissions
of refrigerant gas resultant from leaks in
the installations.
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is
a simple means by which to compare the
different greenhouse gas emissions that
affect the climate system.
