WARNING
Do not use any means other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process or for cleaning. If a
repair is necessary, contact the nearest authorised service centre. Repairs carried out by unqualified personnel could be dangerous.
The appliance must not be placed in a room containing continuously operating ignition sources (e.g. open flames, gas appliances or
electric heaters). Do not pierce or burn.
The appliance must be installed, used and stored in a room having an area of at least Xm (for the measure of space X, refer to table
"a" in the section "Safety precautions for the use of flammable refrigerants").
The appliance contains the flammable gas R32. For repairs, strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions. Note that refrigerants are
odourless. Read the manual for the specific product.
If the fixed appliance is not equipped with a mains lead with a plug, or other means of disconnection from the mains supply which
ensures a separation between the contacts in each pole and is capable of completely disconnecting the power supply under category
III overvoltage conditions, the instructions state that such a means of disconnection must be incorporated into the fixed wiring in ac-
cordance with the regulations in force on electrical connections.
The appliance is suitable for use by children aged 8 years and over and by persons with physical, sensory and cognitive impairments,

that are continuously in operation.
The appliance must be stored in such a way as to prevent any mechanical damage.
8
NOTE
The appliance contains the flammable gas R32.
It is recommended to read the user manual before using the appliance.
A special refrigerant circulates in the system to obtain the function of air conditioner. The refrigerant used is R32 fluoride, which un-
dergoes a special cleaning treatment. The refrigerant is flammable and odourless. Moreover, it can lead to explosion hazards under
certain conditions. However, the flammability of the refrigerant is very low. Ignition is only possible with fire.
Compared to commonly used refrigerants, R32 is non-polluting and does not damage the ozone layer. This means that it also has a
lower greenhouse effect. R32 has excellent thermodynamic characteristics that result in very high energy efficiency. As a result, the
units require a lower filling level.
Before installation, check that the electrical power ratings at the designated location correspond to the specifications on the unit rating
plate and check the reliability and safety of the electrical connection.
The unit must be connected to the mains by means of an omnipolar circuit breaker suitable for category III overvoltages.
Before use, check that the electrical cables and water pipes are correctly connected to avoid water leaks, risk of electrocution and
the like.
Do not operate the unit with wet hands. Children must not be allowed to use it.
In the instructions, the on/off switching descriptions refer to the use of the unit on/off button. The power supply is cut by disconnecting
the unit from the mains.
Do not expose the unit directly to the corrosive conditions of environments containing water and humidity. Do not operate the unit with
empty water storage tank. The air outlet/inlet openings of the unit must not be obstructed by any objects.
When the unit is not in use, the water in the unit and in the pipes must be drained to prevent the storage tank, pipes and water pump
from cracking due to frost.
Never use sharp objects to press the button. Doing so could damage the manual control unit. Do not use other wires instead of the
special communication line of the unit. Doing so could damage the control elements. Never clean the manual control unit with ben-
zene, thinners or other chemicals to avoid discolouration of the surfaces and damage to the elements. Clean the unit using a cloth
soaked in mild detergent. Gently clean the display screen and connecting parts to avoid discolouration.
The power cable must be separated from the communication line.
Work on the refrigerant circuit must only be carried out by persons with valid certification from an accredited body stating that they can
handle refrigerants safely, in accordance with the specifications in force.
Maintenance work on the appliance must be carried out strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Maintenance and
repair work requiring the assistance of other qualified personnel must be carried out under the supervision of the person competent
to handle flammable refrigerants.

person in order to avoid danger.
The appliance is intended to be connected to the water mains permanently and not by means of connecting pipes.
If you have any questions, please contact your local dealer, an authorised service centre, a branch office or our company directly.
10
NOTE
If hot work is to be carried out on cooling equipment or any associated components, a suitable fire extinguisher must be kept at hand.
Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher near the loading area.
Any electrical components installed as replacement must be suitable for the purpose and to the appropriate specifications. The man-
ufacturer's maintenance and service instructions must be followed under all circumstances. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's
technical department.
The following checks must be carried out on installations using flammable refrigerants:
• the filling volume must be suitable for the cubic capacity of the room in which the components containing the refrigerant are in-
stalled;
• ventilation devices and openings must open properly and be free of obstructions;
• if an indirect cooling circuit is used, check for the presence of refrigerant in the secondary circuit;
• the unit markings must always be visible and legible. Markings and signs that become illegible must be rectified;
• cooling pipes or components must be installed in a location with a low probability of exposure to substances that can corrode re-
frigerant-containing components, unless the components are manufactured from materials that are inherently corrosion-resistant
or adequately protected against corrosion.
Repair and maintenance procedures for electrical components must include initial safety checks and component inspection proce-
dures. If a defect is found that may create a safety hazard, the power supply to the circuit must be interrupted until the problem is
satisfactorily resolved. If the fault can not be rectified immediately but the equipment must continue to be used, a suitable temporary
solution must be adopted. This situation must be reported to the owner of the equipment so that all parties are aware of it.
Initial safety checks: check that capacitors are discharged. This procedure must be carried out in a safe manner to avoid the possibility
of sparks. Make sure that there are no live components or wires exposed when filling, restoring or bleeding the system. Make sure
that there are no interruptions in the grounding.

11
When repairing sealed components, it is necessary to disconnect all electrical devices from the equipment before removing sealed
covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have a power supply during the intervention, a permanently operating leak detection device
must be set up at the most critical point to signal potentially dangerous situations.
Particular attention must be paid to the following to ensure that, during work on electrical components, the housing does not undergo
any alterations that compromise the level of protection. These may include damage to cables, an excessive number of connections,
the use of terminals that do not conform to the original specifications, damage to seals and gaskets, incorrect gland assembly, etc.
Ensure that the equipment is securely mounted.
Ensure that the gaskets or sealing materials have not deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer prevent the ingress of
flammable atmospheres. Spare parts must comply with the manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE: the use of silicone sealants may reduce the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment.
Intrinsically safe components do not need to be isolated before work is carried out.
Before applying permanent inductance or capacity loads to the circuit, make sure that this operation does not cause the allowed volt-
age and current values for the device in use to be exceeded.
Intrinsically safe components are the only ones which can be serviced when live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test
equipment must have the correct nominal characteristics.
When replacing components, use only those parts specified by the manufacturer. Non-approved components could cause ignition of
the refrigerant released into the atmosphere.
Check that the wiring is not exposed to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or other adverse environmental
factors. The inspection should also take into account the effects of ageing or continuous vibration from compressors, fans or other
similar sources.
The use of potential ignition sources to search for or detect refrigerant leaks is forbidden under any circumstances. The use of halogen
lights (or other open flame detection systems) is not permitted.
The equipment must be labelled to indicate that it has been decommissioned and refrigerant drained. The labels must be dated and
signed. Ensure that there are labels on the appliance stating that it contains flammable refrigerant gas.

Cool: in cooling mode, the refrigerant condensates inside the outdoor unit and evaporates in the indoor unit. Thanks to heat exchange
with indoor unit water, water releases heat and its temperature decreases, while refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates. Outlet tem-
perature can be set based on user's needs, by means of a wired control. System low-temperature water is connected to internal fan
coil and underground tube through a valve control, so as to ensure heat exchange with indoor air and decrease ambient temperature
to the required value.
Heat: in heating mode, the refrigerant evaporates inside the outdoor unit and condensates in the indoor unit. Thanks to heat exchange
with indoor unit water, water absorbs heat and its temperature increases, while refrigerant releases heat and condensates. Outlet
temperature can be set based on user's needs, by means of a wired control. System high-temperature water is connected to internal
fan coil and underground tube through a valve control, so as to ensure heat exchange with indoor air and increase ambient temper-
ature to the required value.
Hot Water: in water heating mode, the refrigerant evaporates inside the outdoor unit and condensates in the indoor unit. Thanks to
heat exchange with indoor unit water, water absorbs heat and its temperature increases, while refrigerant releases heat and con-
densates. Outlet temperature can be set based on user's needs, by means of a wired control. System high-temperature water is
connected to internal storage tank coil through a valve control, so as to ensure heat exchange with storage tank water and increase
its temperature to the required value.
Cool + Hot Water: when the cooling mode is combined to the water heating mode, user can set priority of either mode as required.
In the preset configuration, the heat pump has top priority. In this configuration, if the cooling mode is used together with the water
heating mode, the heat pump will give priority to cooling. In this case, water can only be heated up using the storage tank electric
heater. In the opposite configuration, the heat pump will give priority to water heating and switch to cooling only as soon as water has
been heated up.
Heat + Hot Water: when the heating mode is combined to the water heating mode, user can set priority of either mode as required.
In the preset configuration, the heat pump has top priority. In this configuration, if the heating mode is used together with the water
heating mode, the heat pump will give priority to heating. In this case, water can only be heated up using the storage tank electric
heater. In the opposite configuration, the heat pump will give priority to water heating and switch to heating only as soon as water has
been heated up.
Emergen. mode: this mode is only available for room heating and water heating. When the outdoor unit stops due to a malfunction,
the corresponding emergency mode is activated. For heating mode, after the emergency mode is activated, heating can only be ob-
tained through the electric heater of the indoor unit. When the set outlet or indoor temperature is reached, the electric heater of the
indoor unit stops working. For water heating mode, the electric heater of the indoor unit stops while the electric heater of the storage
tank is working. Once the set air or storage tank temperature is reached, the electric heater stops.
20 Unit operating principle

Fast Hot Water: in fast water heating mode, the unit operates on the basis of the water heating command from the heat pump and
the electric heater of the storage tank also starts up simultaneously.
Force mode: this mode is only used for refrigerant recovery and troubleshooting of the unit.
Holiday mode: this mode is only available for the heating function. It can be used to maintain the indoor ambient temperature or
water temperature in a certain range to prevent the unit hydraulic system from freezing or to protect certain objects from possible frost
damage. When the outdoor unit stops due to a malfunction, the two electric heaters of the unit are activated.
Disinfection: in this mode, the water heating system can be disinfected. When you activate the disinfection function and set the cor-
responding time, the function is started. When the set temperature is reached, the function is turned off.
Weather depend: this mode is only available for the room heating or cooling function. In the climate-dependent mode, the set value
(ambient air temperature or water temperature in the storage tank) is automatically measured and controlled when the outside air
temperature changes.
Quiet mode: silent mode is available for cooling, heating and water heating functions. In Quiet mode, the outdoor unit reduces the
operating noise through automatic control.
Floor preparation: this function is intended to periodically preheat the floor for initial use.
Air removal: this function aims to remove air from the hydraulic system and fill it with water to allow the unit to operate with stable
water pressure.
Solar heater: if the conditions for starting up the solar water heater are met, it starts to heat the circulating water. The heated water
then reaches the storage tank, where heat exchange with the water contained in the tank takes place. Under all conditions, the solar
water heater always has start-up priority to promote energy preservation.
Other thermal: when the outside temperature is lower than the set value for starting the auxiliary thermal unit and, at the same time,
the appliance is in an error condition and the compressor has been stopped for three minutes, the auxiliary thermal unit starts to
deliver heat or hot water.

32 Hydraulic unit installation

10.2 Water volume and pressure in the expansion tank
P = Pressure in the expansion tank (bar) V = Total maximum water volume (litres)
Notes
• The expansion tank has a capacity of 2 litres and is pre-pressurised to 1.5 bar for 6/8 kW units, while it has a capacity of 3 litres
and is pre-pressurised to 1.5 bar for 10/12/14/16 kW units;
• Total water volume is usually 44 litres for 6/8 kW units and 66 litres for 10/12/14/16 kW units; if the total water volume is modified
because of installation conditions, the preset pressure must be adjusted accordingly, in order to ensure proper operation. If the unit
is installed in the top position, adjustment is not necessary;
• Total minimum water volume is 20 litres;
• To adjust preset pressure, use nitrogen gas provided by a certified installer.
10.3 How to calculate expansion tank filling pressure

Below is the method to use in order to calculate the expansion tank filling pressure.
During installation, if the hydraulic system volume has changed, check whether expansion tank preset pressure should be adjusted
according to this formula:
Pg = (H/10+0.3) Bar where H = difference between indoor unit installation point and hydraulic system highest point.
Make sure that the hydraulic system volume is lower than the maximum volume required shown in the figure above. If the value ex-
ceeds the specified range, the expansion tank does not meet installation requirements.

For 4/6/8 units
Difference between Water volume

installation heights1 <44 L >44 L
1. Preset pressure should be adjusted according to
the above formula.
<12 m No adjustment required
2. Check that the water volume is below the maxi-
mum allowed volume (refer to the above figure)
the above formula. The expansion tank is too small and the required
>12 m
2. Check that the water volume is below the maxi- adjustment is not possible.
For 10/12/14/16 units
Difference between Water volume

installation heights1 <66 L >66 L
the above formula.
<12 m No adjustment required
2. Check that the water volume is below the maxi-
the above formula. The expansion tank is too small and the required
>12 m
2. Check that the water volume is below the maxi- adjustment is not possible.
Note
• Difference between installation heights: difference between indoor unit installation position and the highest point of the hydraulic
system. If the indoor unit is at the highest point of installation, the height difference is considered to be 0 m.
• Example 1: the 16 kW unit is installed 5 m below the highest point of the hydraulic system and the total water volume is 60 litres.
» With reference to the above figure, it is not necessary to adjust expansion tank pressure.
• Example 2: unit is installed at the highest point of the hydraulic system and the total water volume is 100 litres.
» Considering that hydraulic system volume is above 66 litres, expansion tank pressure must be adjusted to a lower value.
» Formula for calculating pressure
» Pg =(H/10+0.3) = (0/10 + 0.3) = 0.3 bar
» The maximum volume of the hydraulic system is approx. 118 litres. Considering that hydraulic system volume is 100 litres, the
expansion tank meets the installation requirements.
» Adjust expansion tank preset pressure from 1.5 bar to 0.3 bar.
10.4 Selecting the expansion tank

Formula
• V--- Expansion tank volume

• C--- Total water volume
• P1-- Preset pressure of the expansion tank
• P2-- Highest pressure reached during system operation (corresponding to the safety valve trigger pressure).
• e--- Water expansion coefficient (difference between expansion coefficient of water original temperature and the one of maximum
water temperature).

19. Refrigerant filling and draining

The unit is filled with refrigerant before delivery. Overfilling or underfilling will cause compressor malfunction or damage. When refrig-
erant shall be filled or drained for installation, maintenance or other purposes, proceed as described below and use the nominal filling
volume specified on the appliance rating plate.
Drain: remove the metal plates of the external housing, connect a tube to the filling valve, then drain the refrigerant.
Door control unit

Filling valve 1 Filling valve 2
Notes
• Drain can be performed only if the unit has been stopped. (Switch off the unit and switch it back on after 1 minute)
• When draining, it is recommended to take protective measures to avoid any burns from frost.
• Should it not be possible to immediately create vacuum when draining is completed, remove the tube to avoid that air or foreign
objects could get into the unit.
• Vacuum: after draining the unit, use suitable hoses to connect the filling valve, the pressure gauge and the vacuum pump to create
vacuum inside the unit.
Pressure gauge
Vacuum pump
Connecting pipe
Note
After creating vacuum, the pressure inside the unit should be kept below 80 Pa for at least 30 minutes to ensure that there are no
leaks. Load valve 1 or load valve 2 can be used to create vacuum.
Fill: After creating vacuum and checking for leaks, you can proceed with the filing operation.
Methods for detecting leaks:
1. The following leak detection methods are considered acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants.
2. For the detection of flammable refrigerants, electronic leak detectors must be used, but their sensitivity may not be adequate or
may require recalibration (detectors must be calibrated in a room free of refrigerant).
3. Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant.
4. Leak detection equipment must be configured to a percentage of the lower flammable limit (LFL) of the refrigerant and be calibrat-
ed for the refrigerant used including a check of the appropriate gas percentage (max. 25%).
5. Leak detection liquids are suitable for use with most refrigerants; however, the use of detergents containing chlorine should be
avoided as the latter may react with the refrigerant and corrode copper piping.
6. If a leak is suspected, remove/extinguish all open flames. If there is a refrigerant leak that requires welding, all refrigerant must
be removed from the system or isolated (using shut-off valves) in a part of the system away from the leak. Oxygen-free nitrogen
(OFN) must be removed from the system both before and during the welding process.
44 Refrigerant filling and draining

Note
Before and during operation, use a suitable refrigerant leak detector to monitor the operating area and ensure that technicians are
aware of any potential or actual flammable gas leaks. Ensure that the leak detector is suitable for flammable refrigerants. For instance,
it must not create sparks and must be fully sealed and safe.
20. Installing a sealed storage tank
20.1 Installation sizes

The sealed water storage tank must be installed and held horizontally within 5 m and vertically within 3 m from the indoor unit. It can
be installed in the room.
The storage tank must be installed vertically, with the support base resting on the floor and never suspended. The installation base
must be sturdy enough and the storage tank must be bolted to the wall to avoid vibration, as shown in the figure below. During instal-
lation, also consider storage tank capacity.
Storage tank
Fasten with bolts
Install on the floor and not in suspension
The minimum distance between the water storage tank and the combustible surface must be 500 mm.
Water pipe, hot water fitting and a floor drain must be close to the storage tank in order to make it easier to fill water, deliver hot water
and drain the storage tank.
Connecting the inlet/outlet ducts: connect unit safety valve (with the arrow facing the storage tank) at storage tank inlet using the PPR
pipe, as shown in the figure below, and seal using non-sintered tape. The other end of the safety valve must be connected to drinking
water fitting. Connect hot water pipe and storage tank outlet using the PPR pipe.
Install a device for protecting the system against maximum pressure.
Safety valve.
Drinking water
Note
• For water safe use, it is recommended to connect the storage tank outlet and/or inlet using a certain PPR pipe length, L ≥70×R2
(in cm, where R is pipe inside radius). Moreover, to preserve heat, metal pipes should be avoided. Upon first use, fill the storage
tank before switching the unit on.
• Some water could leak out of the drain pipe of the pressure relief device and that pipe must be open to the environment.
• The pressure relief device must be regularly activated to remove scale build-up and make sure it is not obstructed.

• The drain pipe connected to the pressure relief device must always be installed aiming down and in a frost-free environment.
• The appliance is intended to be connected to the hydraulic mains permanently and not by means of a connecting pipe.
• The pressure relief device is type A3J and must be installed with a threaded fitting.
• The pressure of the water entering the storage tank must be greater than 0.2 MPa and less than 0.7 MPa.
• The instructions on the storage tank label must be strictly adhered to when draining the water.
As the pressure in the water heater gradually increases during the heating phase, a pressure relief valve must be installed. If this is
not installed or is installed incorrectly, the water heater could become deformed or damaged and harm or cause damage to people,
animals and/or property.
46 Installing a sealed storage tank

20.2 Connection of the hydraulic system
• If the connection between the water storage tank and the indoor unit must pass through a wall, drill a φ70 hole for the circulating
water pipe. If a hole is not required, this step is not necessary.
• Piping preparation: the circulating water inlet/outlet pipes must be suitable for hot water.
• Installation of inlet/outlet pipes for circulating water: connect the water inlet of the unit with the outlet of the storage tank for circu-
lating water, and connect the water outlet of the unit with the inlet of the storage tank for circulating water.
• Installation of the storage tank inlet/outlet pipes: a safety valve, filter and shut-off valve must be installed for the water inlet pipe in
accordance with the installation diagram of the unit. At least one shut-off valve is required for the water outlet pipe.
• Installation of drain pipes at the base of the storage tank: connect a length of PPR pipe with drain outlet to the floor drain opening.
A shut-off valve must be installed in the middle of the drain pipe, at a point where it can be easily operated by users.
• After connecting the water lines, first carry out a leak test to ensure that there are no leaks. Next, join the water pipes, water tem-
perature sensor and electrical wires using the cable ties supplied with the unit.
Notes
• Water lines may only be installed after the water heating unit has been secured in place. Avoid ingress of dust and other foreign
particles into the pipe system when installing the connecting pipes.
• After connecting the water lines, first carry out a leak test to ensure that there are no leaks. Next, proceed with the thermal insu-
lation of the hydraulic system, paying particular attention to the valves and fittings. The insulation tape must be sufficiently thick. If
necessary, install a pipe heating device to prevent possible frost damage.
• The hot water delivered from the insulated storage tank depends on the pressure of the water tap, so there must be a running
water supply.
• During use, the cooling water inlet shut-off valve of the storage tank must remain normally open.

23. Operation and routine maintenance
• All protection devices are installed before delivery to avoid damaging the unit. It is recommended not to modify or remove them.
• For unit first start-up or in case of start-up after a long period of inactivity (more than 1 day) with power line disconnection, it is
recommended to connect the unit to the mains in advance and preheat it for at least 8 hours.
• Do not set any objects on the unit and on accessories. Keep the area around the unit dry, clean and ventilated.
• Periodically remove the dust building up on condenser fins to keep unit efficient and avoid stops controlled by the protection de-
vices.
• To avoid unit stop or damage because of hydraulic system clogging, periodically clean the filter of the hydraulic system and fre-
quently check the water filling device.
• To ensure proper frost protection, do not disconnect unit power lines if ambient temperature drops below zero in winter.
• To avoid damage due to frost, it is recommended to drain water from the unit and piping if you plan not to use it for a long period.
Also open storage tank plug to allow draining.
• If the storage tank is installed but the corresponding parameter is set to “Without”, the storage tank features will not activate and
the temperature displayed for the storage tank will always be “-30”. In this case, the storage tank will be exposed to frost and other
damage in case of low external temperature. This is why, after installing the storage tank, it is recommended to set it to "With”. In
case of failure to comply, Fondital shall not be liable for any malfunction.
• Do not switch the unit on and off too frequently and close the manual valve of the hydraulic system when the unit is used by the
users.
• Frequently check the operation of every part to check for oil stains at pipe joints. If necessary, change the valves to avoid refrigerant
leakage.
• Promptly contact an authorised service centre in case of unit malfunction that could not be fixed by users.
Notes
The pressure gauge for water pressure is installed on the return line to the unit. Adjust hydraulic system pressure as follows:
• If pressure is below 0.5 bar, immediately refill with water.
• While refilling, system pressure should not exceed 2.5 bar.

23.1 Recovery
When draining refrigerant from a system for maintenance or disposal purposes, it is recommended to remove the refrigerant in safety
conditions.
If refrigerant is transferred to cylinders, only use cylinders suitable for recovering refrigerant. Make sure to have a suitable number
of cylinders to store all system refrigerant. All cylinders used must be designed for the recovered refrigerant and duly labelled (i.e.,
special cylinders for refrigerant recovery). Cylinders must be equipped with efficient safety valve and shut off valves. Empty recovery
cylinders must be disposed of and, if possible, cooled down before recovery.
Recovery equipment must be in good operating conditions together with all necessary instructions and suitable for recovering flam-
mable refrigerants.
Moreover, it is necessary to prepare a set of properly operating calibrated scales.
Flexible hoses must be equipped with sealing joints in good conditions. Before using the recovery device, ensure it is in good oper-
ating condition, has undergone proper maintenance and all associated electrical components are sealed to avoid ignition in case of
refrigerant spillage. In case of doubt, contact the manufacturer.
The recovered refrigerant must be handed back to the supplier in proper recovery cylinders, together with the relevant form for waste
identification. Do not mix different types of refrigerant inside recovery units, especially in cylinders.
Should it be necessary to decommission compressors or dispose of compressor oil, drain them to an acceptable level to prevent that
flammable refrigerant remains in the lubricant. The drain and recovery procedure must be carried out before returning the compressor
to suppliers. To speed it up, only apply electric heating to the compressor body. Drain oil from a system only if the safety conditions
are complied with.

23.2 Decommissioning
Before performing this procedure, it is crucial that the technician is fully familiar with the equipment and all its details. It is good practice
to safely recover all refrigerants. Before proceeding, take a sample of oil and refrigerant. Before reusing the recovered refrigerant,
analyse it if necessary. Check that the power supply is available.
• Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
• Electrically insulate the system.
• Before proceeding, make sure that: if necessary, mechanical equipment for handling refrigerant cylinder is available; all personal
protection devices are available and are properly used; the recovery procedure is carried out under constant supervision by a
competent person; recovery equipment and cylinders comply with the prevailing regulations.
• Reduce system pressure, if possible.
• Should it not be possible to create vacuum, prepare a manifold so as to remove the refrigerant from various parts of the system.
• Make sure that the cylinder is on the scale before starting recovery.
• Start the recovery device and use it according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not excessively fill the cylinders (not over 80% of the liquid filling volume).
• Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of cylinders, not even temporarily.
• Once cylinders have been properly filled and the procedure is completed, promptly transfer cylinders and equipment out of the site
and close all shut-off valves of the equipment.
• Before filling the recovered refrigerant into another cooling system, it must be cleaned and inspected.
23.3 Precautions before seasonal use

• Ensure that air inlets and outlets of indoor and outdoor units are not clogged.
• Ensure that grounding connection is safe.
• In case of restarting after a long period of inactivity, switch on the unit 8 hours before operation should start so as to allow preheat-
ing of the external compressor.
• Precautions to prevent freezing in winter. If temperature drops below zero in winter, it is necessary to add an antifreeze fluid to the
hydraulic circuit and duly insulate water piping on the outside. It is recommended to use a glycol-based solution as antifreeze fluid.
