34. The persons that work or intervene on a cooling circuit, must be in possession of suitable
certification, issued by an accredited assessment body. This must attest skill in safely
handling refrigerants in compliance with assessment specification acknowledged by sector
associations.
35. Do not emit R32 gas into the atmosphere; R32 is a fluorinated greenhouse gas with a Global
Warming Potential (GWP) = 675.
36. The appliances described in this manual are in compliance with the applicable European
Directives and successive amendments.
37. The appliance contains A2L inflammable gas. For the correct mode of installation,
please consult this manual.
1.1 - NOTES REGARDING FLUORINATED GASES
• This climate control appliance contains fluorinated gas. For specific information
regarding the type and quantity of gas, refer to the data plate affixed to the unit.
• The installation, assistance, maintenance and repair of the appliance, must be performed
by a qualified certified technician.
• Product removal and re-cycling operations must be performed by a qualified certified
technician.
• If the system has a leak-detection device installed, the checks for leaks must be performed
at least every 12 months.
• When the unit is checked for leaks, keeping a record of all inspections is highly
recommended.
• Before starting to operate on the appliance, it is necessary to check the zone surrounding
the equipment to make sure there are no dangers of fire nor risks of combustion.
To repair the refrigerating system, it is necessary to take the following precautions before
starting the intervention on the system.
1. The zone MUST be checked with a specific refrigerating liquids detector before and
during work, so that the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres.
Make sure the detection device of the leaks is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants,
then that it does not produce sparks and that is adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
2. The leakage electronic detectors may need calibration.
If necessary, calibrate them in a zone free of refrigerant.
3. Make sure the detector is not a potential source of combustion and that it is suitable
for the refrigerant used. The device for detection must be set at a percentage of
the refrigerant LFL and must be calibrated for the used refrigerant; the appropriate
percentage of gas (maximum 25 %) must be confirmed.
3a. The leakage detection fluids are suitable for most of the refrigerants. The detergents
containing chlorine MUST be avoided.
Danger of corrosion of the copper pipes.
4. If the presence of a leak is suspected, all open flames must be removed.
5. All sources of combustion (even a lit cigarette) should be kept away from the place in
which all operations during which the flammable refrigerant may be released in the
surrounding space must be carried out.
6. Make sure the area is adequately ventilated before intervening inside the system; a
continuous degree of ventilation must be present.
7. Before any operation, always check that:
• the condensers are unloaded. The operation must be carried out safely to avoid the
risk of producing sparks;
• there are no live electrical components and that the cables are not exposed while
loading, recovering or bleeding the system;
• there is continuity in the ground connection.
8. Periodically check that the cables are not subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibrations, sharp edges or any other hostile environmental situation.
