INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU
At the end of its working life this equipment must not be disposed of as an household waste. It must be taken to special
local community waste collection centres or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of electrical and electronic
equipment separately avoids possible negative effects on the environment and human health deriving from an
inappropriate disposal and enables its components to be recovered and recycled to obtain significant savings in energy
and resources. In order to underline the duty to dispose of this equipment separately, the product is marked with a
crossed
-
out dustbin.

The Refrigerant
 To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the system.
The refrigerant is the fluoride R32 = GWP (Global warming potential). This refrigerant is
flammable and inodorous. It can lead to explosions under certain conditions, however the
flammability of this refrigerant is very low and it can be ignited only by fire.
 Compared to other common refrigerants, R32 is a non-polluting refrigerant with no harm to
the ozonosphere and a lower effect upon the greenhouse effect. R32 has very good
thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy efficiency. The units therefore
need less filling.
Warning:
