Youngchildren and elderly persons areparticularly at risk, even at lowertemperatures.▶ Select the temperature sothat nobody is at risk.1.2.7 Risk of death due to lackof safety devicesA lack of safety devices (e.g.expansion relief valve, expan-sion vessel) can lead to poten-tially fatal scalding and otherinjuries, e.g. due to explosions.▶ Have your competent personcheck that all required isolatordevices are present in yourheating installation.1.2.8 Preventing the risk ofinjury from freezingas a result of touchingcoolantThe product is delivered withan operational filling of R410Acoolant. This is a chlorine-freecoolant which does not affectthe Earth's ozone layer. R410Ais neither a fire hazard nor anexplosion risk. Escaping coolantmay cause freezing if the exitpoint is touched.▶ If coolant escapes, do nottouch any components of theproduct.▶ Do not inhale any steam orgases that escape from thecoolant circuit as a result ofleaks.
