Do NOT ventgases into the atmosphere.Refrigerant type: R32Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675Refrigerant type: R410AGlobal warming potential (GWP) value: 2087.5NOTICEIn Europe, the greenhouse gas emissions of the totalrefrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes CO2equivalent) 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 [inkg] / 1000Please contact your installer for more information.WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIALThe R32 refrigerant (if applicable) in this unit is mildlyflammable. Refer to the outdoor unit specifications for thetype of refrigerant to be used.WARNING▪ Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.▪ Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to acceleratethe defrosting process other than those recommendedby the manufacturer.▪ Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system isodourless.WARNINGR410A is a non-combustible refrigerant, and R32 is amildly flammable refrigerant; they normally don’t leak. If therefrigerant leaks in the room and comes into contact withfire from a burner, a heater, or a cooker, this may result ina fire (in case of R32), or the formation of a harmful gas.Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate theroom, and contact the dealer from where you purchasedthe unit.Do not use the unit until a service person confirms that thepart from which the refrigerant leaked has been repaired.
