Disposal of substances during maintenance operations
Before carrying out any work on the air conditioner disconnect it from the voltage supply.
• During the service life of the air conditioner, if it becomes necessary to drain the cooling system, the refrigerant must be recovered. This operation
must be performed by skilled personnel only, in accordance with the regulations under CE 842 / 2006. The types of gases used are shown in the
following table.
• After each change of oil for the compressor, the waste oil must be disposed of according to the instructions below.
• The disposal of the filter pads depends on the substances contained therein.
• The filter dryers must be disposed of as materials contaminated by the types of oil stated below.
Disposal of the unit at the end of its service life
Before carrying out any work on the air conditioner disconnect it from the voltage supply.
The air conditioner must be disposed of ensuring separation of the following materials:
• Refrigerant – The refrigerants used are not harmful to the ozone layer but contribute to global warming. Therefore, it is mandatory to recover the
refrigerant before disposing of the air conditioner. This operation must be carried out by skilled personnel only, in compliance with the regulations
under CE 842/2006. The types of refrigerants used are stated in the following:

• Metals – (painted, galvanized, plastic-coated components; galvanized steel pipes; heat exchangers made of copper / copper / galvanized steel,
copper / aluminum / galvanized steel, aluminum / aluminum, steel, painted steel / copper, hydraulic valves, brass pipe fittings)
• Copper pipes– may contain traces of oil
• Insulation and sound-absorbing materials
• Electric and electronic components- (pumps, fans, oil-free compressors, electronic circuit boards, servomotors, electrical heating resistances,
control panel components)
• Cables and wiring
• Oil contained in the compressors – polyester-based (POE) or polyvinyl-ether-based (PVE). Refer to the label on the compressor.
• Plastic parts – plastic parts of substantial weight are the following:
Description of Substance
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene terpolymer
Polystyrene homopolymer
Polycarbonate from bisphenol A
