Installation conditions
Check that:
• The dimensions of the installation compartment are those
specified in this manual.
• Sufficient ventilation of the room is ensured.
• The markings and graphic signs on the product are present
and legible.
• There are no signs of damage or corrosion on the product that
could impair its operation or cause refrigerant gas to escape.
In case of differences in the product installation conditions,
maintenance personnel are required to inform the owner and
proceed with elimination of the non-conformities found.
Checks and repairs of electrical components
Check that:
• There are no conditions of imminent danger for the operator;
• The circuit is not powered.
• If it is not possible to operate without power supply, make
sure the owner has been notified regarding the situation.
• The electric capacitors have been safely discharged without
producing sparks.
• There is continuity in the ground connection.
• The electrical components are replaced only with original
spare parts.
• No cuts or joints are made on the cables of the electrical com-
ponents.
• The cables and wires do not have any damage which could
compromise the integrity of the product and the safety of peo-
ple and/or property.
Note: Only original replacement electrical components are guar-
anteed by the manufacturer as safe and tested by a third party
for use with flammable refrigerants.
Leak detection
• Do not use any kind of flame to detect refrigerant leakage.
• Use electric detectors only if sure of their efficiency and safety
in an explosive environment; for this purpose the instrument
must be able to detect an R290 leak equivalent to a maximum
of 25% of the LFL (Lower Flammability Level).
• Alternatively, specific leak detector sprays can be used for re-
frigerant gases; the product used must be non-corrosive type.
In order to be used safely, the leak detection instruments must
have a calibration tool normally called a calibrated leak. Check-
ing the sensitivity of the detector with the aid of the calibration
tool must be carried out far from the place of installation in order
to ensurer correct calibration.

must be performed by quali-
fied personnel with a suitable

containing HC type gases
such as R290 (Propane).
This equipment contains 0.15 kg
of flammable gas (Propane R290).
Carefully read the warnings indi-
R290
cated in chapter 8 on page 159.
At the end of use, the heat pumps must be disposed of in com-
pliance with current regulations.
Divide the materials and dispose
of them in special collection cen-
tres suitable for waste disposal,
ATTENTION
according to the laws and regu-
lations in force in the country of
use.
Disposal operations must only be carried out at an authorised
centre by qualified personnel and in full compliance with current
regulations.
Before proceeding with the disposal of the product, it is neces-
sary to safely remove the refrigerant gas from the circuit; this op-
eration must be performed according to the following procedure:
• The product must not be connected to the power grid.
• Before starting, ensure you have an adequate gas recov-
ery system equipped with cylinders suitable for the quantity
and type of gas you are about to recover, make sure you are
wearing suitable PPE.
• Empty the circuit from the pipe used by the manufacturer
to charge the refrigerant gas and at the same time from the
compressor suction pipe.
• Start the refrigerant gas recovery system, taking care not to
exceed more than 80% in filling and in the maximum operat-
ing pressure.
• The operation ends when the desired vacuum level has been
reached; at this point close the recovery cylinder valves and
remove the device.
• The removed gas can only be reused after it has been puri-
fied and checked by its supplier.
Product disposal label
The product must be identified with a label indicating that it must
be scrapped, bearing the date and signature of the employee in
charge.
The label must indicate that the product contains a flammable
gas.
