Permitted Use; Geeral Safety Regulations - MAXA i-290 0106 Installer Manual

3. PERMITTED USE

• The company excludes any contractual and extra contractual liability for damage caused to persons, animals or objects, by incorrect instal-
lation, setting and maintenance, improper use of the equipment, and the partial or superficial reading of the information contained in this
manual.
• These units are built for the heating and/or cooling of water and for outdoor use only in residential and commercial applications. A different
application, not expressly authorised by the manufacturer, is considered improper and therefore not permitted. The fluid to be used is ex-
clusively water or a mixture of water and glycol (in a concentration not exceeding 10%) in the case of low water temperatures.
It is absolutely NOT permitted to connect the flow of heated water from the machine directly to the taps of the sanitary
circuit. This fluid is not intended for sanitary use and must not be ingested.
• The location, hydraulic and electrical installation must be determined by the system designer and must take into consideration technical
requirements, current local legislation and specific authorisations.
All work must be carried out by experienced and qualified personnel, competent on the existing regulations in country
where the installation takes place, as defined in IEC 60335-2-40 Annex HH. Personnel must also be aware of the physical
properties and special hazards involved in handling R290 refrigerant gas, as well as the necessary equipment and protective
devices. Each operator must have the qualification levels and overall competence defined in EN ISO 13313.
• This device is intended for use by experienced or trained users in shops, light industry and farms, or for commercial use by non-experts.
• The appliance may be used by children at least 8 years old and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without
experience or the necessary knowledge as long as they are supervised or after they themselves have received instructions on the safe use
of the appliance and understand the relevant dangers. Children must not play with the appliance. The cleaning and maintenance which the
user is expected to carry out on the unit cannot be done by children without supervision.
• Direct interaction with the unit by persons with electrically controlled medical devices, such as pacemakers, is prohibited, as harmful inter-
ference may result. It is recommended that an adequate distance be maintained from the installation site of the unit, as indicated by the
medical system used.
Users of electrically controlled medical devices should exercise caution when interacting with the unit.
Users of metallic prostheses should excercise caution when interacting with the unit.
4. GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
Before starting any type of operation on the i-290 units, the operator must have read the information contained in the manual in order to be
familiar with the operation of the machine and its controls.
WARNING: The machine operates with R290 refrigerant, which is a class A3 flammable refrigerant (according to ASHRAE
34 classification). In the event of a leak, the escape of refrigerant gas into the environment can lead to the formation of a
flammable atmosphere.
Do not smoke and do not use open flames or fires in the vicinity of the machine (see chapters 5.4 and 5.5 for specific warn-
ings).
DANGER: Risk of death or serious personal injury, observe the fire and explosion hazard information described in the manu-
al.
WARNING: Any routine or extraordinary maintenance operation must be carried out with the machine stopped and dis-
connected. Always check that there is no voltage: there is a risk of death by electrocution if you come into contact with live
electrical parts.
For installations in rooms that can reach outside temperatures below 0 °C, freezing of some components may occur if the
unit is not in operation. Ensure that the heating system remains in operation at all times and that all rooms are sufficiently
heated if there is a risk of frost. If operation cannot be guaranteed, have the heating system drained by a qualified techni-
cian.
Do not insert your hands, screwdrivers, spanners or any other tools on moving parts.
The machine operator and maintenance personnel must receive suitable training for the performance of their tasks in safety.
Operators must know how to use personal protective equipment and the accident-prevention rules of national and interna-
tional laws and regulations.
