This unit has been designed and manufactured with the highest quality standard in mind.
TABLE OF CONTENTS deliver the right amount of cooling or heating capacity that you demand. At extreme ambient conditions, the unit can still operate but will be at reduced capacity. General Information ............ Energy Efficient Refrigeration Circuits Safety Instructions ............The ActronAir refrigeration system was designed with the application of highly efficient capacity circuit that deliver Installation Information ..........
adequately supervised by a responsible person to for residential, office, schools and other air conditioning ensure that they can use the appliance safely. Young facilities applications, both for new construction or children should be supervised to ensure that they do retrofitting projects.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION Use only cleaning solvents that do not have ozone All service technicians handling refrigerant must be depletion factors. Properly dispose of used cleaning licensed to handle refrigerant gases. materials. Recover and Recycle Refrigerants INSTALLATION PREPARATION Never release refrigerant to the atmosphere! It is an offence in Australia to do so.
