NOTICE
The refrigerant R410A requires strict cautions for keeping the system clean, dry and
tight.
▪
Clean and dry: foreign materials (including mineral oils or moisture) should be
prevented from getting mixed into the system.
▪
Tight: R410A does not contain any chlorine, does not destroy the ozone layer,
and does not reduce earth's protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
R410A can contribute to the greenhouse effect if it is released. Therefore pay
special attention to check the tightness of the installation.
