GENERAL WARNINGS

• The appliance is intended to be used for pools and spas for a specific purpose; it must not be used for any purpose
other than that for which it was designed.
• Failure to respect the warnings may cause serious damage to the pool equipment or cause serious injury, even
death.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• The appliance must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and in compliance with local and
national regulations.
• Our products may only be assembled and installed in pools compliant with standards IEC/HD 60364-7-702 and
required national rules. The installation should follow standard IEC/HD 60364-7-702 and required national rules for
swimming pools. Consult your local dealer for more information.
WARNINGS ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
• The power supply to the appliance must be protected by a dedicated 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD), complying
with the standards and regulations in force in the country in which it is installed.
• The equipment not include electrical switch for disconnection; include a disconnection supply device in the fixing
wiring at least OVC III, in accordance applicable national laws.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized representative or a
repair facility only.
WARNINGS CONCERNING APPLIANCES CONTAINING R32 REFRIGERANT
• This device contains R32 refrigerant, a class A2L refrigerant, which is considered to be potentially flammable.
• Do not discharge R32 fluid into the atmosphere. This is a fluorinated greenhouse gas, covered by the Kyoto Protocol,
with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 675 (European regulation EU 517/2014).
• In order to comply with the applicable standards and regulations in terms of the environment and installation, in
particular Decree No. 2015-1790 and/or European regulation EU 517/2014, a leak test must be performed on the
cooling circuit when the appliance is first started and at least once a year. This operation must be carried out by a
specialist certified to test cooling appliances
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames,
an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• For further information consult the safety instructions concerning appliances containing gas R32 in the extended
version of the manual, in which the fields area check, work procedure, general work area, check for the presence
of refrigerant, check for the presence of a fire extinguisher, no source of ignition, area ventilation, refrigerant
equipment check, electrical component check, repair of insulated components, repair of intrinsically components,
wiring, detection of flammable refrigerant, removal and discharge, loading procedures and dismantling are specified.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

• Only a person qualified in the technical fields concerned (electricity, hydraulics or refrigeration) is authorized to
carry out installation, maintenance or repair work on the appliance
• The appliance may not be installed close to combustible materials, or the air duct inlet of an adjacent building.
• When servicing the appliance, the composition and state of the heat transfer fluid must be checked, as well as the
absence of any traces of coolant.
• During the appliance's annual sealing test in accordance with applicable legislation, the high and low pressure
switches must be checked to ensure that they are securely fastened to the cooling circuit and that they cut off the
electrical circuit when tripped.
• During maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around the cooling components.
• Before beginning work on the cooling circuit, stop the appliance and wait for a few minutes before fitting the
temperature and pressure sensors. Some elements such as the compressor and piping may reach temperatures in
excess of 100°C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe burns.
