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

Maintenance safety precautions

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
DANGER: RISK OF BURNING
NOTICE: Risk of electrostatic discharge
Before performing any maintenance or service work, touch
a metal part of the unit in order to eliminate static electricity
and to protect the PCB.
WARNING
▪ Before carrying out any maintenance or repair activity,
ALWAYS switch off the circuit breaker on the supply
panel, remove the fuses or open the protection devices
of the unit.
▪ Do NOT touch live parts for 10 minutes after the power
supply is turned off because of high voltage risk.
▪ Please note that some sections of the electric
component box are hot.
▪ Make sure you do NOT touch a conductive section.
▪ Do NOT rinse the unit. This may cause electric shocks
or fire.
10.3 Checklist for yearly maintenance
of the outdoor unit
Check the following at least once a year:
▪ Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger of the outdoor unit can get blocked up due to
dust, dirt, leaves, etc. It is recommended to clean the heat
exchanger yearly. A blocked heat exchanger can lead to too low
pressure or too high pressure leading to worse performance.
