7 Maintenance and service
7.1 Overview: Maintenance and
service
The installer has to perform a yearly maintenance.
About the refrigerant
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent
gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R32
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675
Refrigerant type: R410A
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 2087.5
NOTICE
In Europe, the greenhouse gas emissions of the total
refrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes CO
equivalent) is used to determine the maintenance intervals.
Follow the applicable legislation.
Formula to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions:
GWP value of the refrigerant × Total refrigerant charge [in
kg] / 1000
Please contact your installer for more information.
WARNING
R410A is a non-combustible refrigerant, and R32 is a
mildly flammable refrigerant; they normally don't leak. If the
refrigerant leaks in the room and comes into contact with
fire from a burner, a heater, or a cooker, this may result in
a fire (in case of R32), or the formation of a harmful gas.
Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate the
room, and contact the dealer from where you purchased
the unit.
Do not use the unit until a service person confirms that the
part from which the refrigerant leaked has been repaired.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.
▪ Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to accelerate
the defrosting process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system is
odourless.
NOTICE
Maintenance MUST be done by an authorized installer or
service agent.
We recommend performing maintenance at least once a
year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter
maintenance intervals.
CAUTION
Before accessing terminal devices, make sure to interrupt
all power supply.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
To clean the air conditioner or air filter, be sure to stop
operation and turn all power supplies off. Otherwise, an
electric shock and injury may result.

WARNING
To prevent electric shocks or fire:
▪ Do NOT rinse the unit.
▪ Do NOT operate the unit with wet hands.
▪ Do NOT place any objects containing water on the unit.
CAUTION
After a long use, check the unit stand and fitting for
damage. If damaged, the unit may fall and result in injury.
CAUTION
Do NOT touch the heat exchanger fins. These fins are
sharp and could result in cutting injuries.
NOTICE
When cleaning the heat exchanger, make sure to remove
the switch box and fan motor. Water or detergent might
deteriorate the insulation of electronic components and
result in burnout of these components.

powder or liquid insecticide. Possible consequence:
Discoloration and deformation.
▪ Do NOT use water or air of 50°C or higher. Possible
consequence: Discoloration and deformation.
▪ Do NOT scrub firmly when washing the blade with
water. Possible consequence: The surface sealing
peels off.
Clean with a soft cloth. If it is difficult to remove stains, use water or

To clean the air filter

When to clean the air filter:
▪ Rule of thumb: Clean every 6 months. If the air in the room is
extremely contaminated, increase the cleaning frequency.
▪ Depending on the settings, the user interface can display the
TIME TO CLEAN AIR FILTER notification. Clean the air filter
when the notification is displayed.
▪ If the dirt becomes impossible to clean, change the air filter
(= optional equipment).
How to clean the air filter:
1 Remove the air filter. Push the hooks and pull the filter as
