Regulations (Directives, Laws, Standards) - Vaillant flexoTHERM exclusive VWF 57/4 Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

1 Safety
1.3.11 Risk of material damage caused by
using an unsuitable tool
▶ Use the correct tool to tighten or loosen
screw connections.
1.3.12 Risk of material damage caused by
condensate inside the house
In heating mode, the lines between the heat
pump and the heat source (environment cir-
cuit) are cold, which means that condensate
may form on the lines in the house. In cool-
ing mode, the building circuit lines are cold,
which means that condensate may also form
if the temperature falls below the dew point.
Condensate may lead to material damage,
for example due to corrosion.
▶ Ensure that you do not damage the heat
insulation on the lines.
1.3.13 Avoid environmental damage
caused by escaping coolant
The product contains R 410 A refrigerant.
The coolant must not be allowed to escape
into the atmosphere. R410A is a fluorinated
greenhouse gas covered by the Kyoto Pro-
tocol, with a GWP of 2088 (GWP = global
warming potential). If this gas escapes into
the atmosphere, its impact is 2088 times
greater than the natural greenhouse gas CO
Before the product is disposed of, the coolant
that is contained in it must be completely
drained into a suitable vessel so that it can
then be recycled or disposed of in accord-
ance with regulations.
▶ Ensure that only officially certified com-
petent persons with appropriate protective
equipment carry out maintenance work on
the refrigerant circuit or access it.
▶ Arrange for the refrigerant that is contained
in the product to be recycled or disposed
of by a certified competent person in ac-
cordance with the regulations.
