The heat pump contains R410A refrigerant. This refrigerant is not harmful to the environment as it does not contain chlorine, and
therefore does not contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer. Under normal operation of the heat pump the toxicity of the
refrigerant is nil and there is no risk of explosion. However, the following precautions should be taken in the event of refrigerant
leakage.

The refrigerant contained in the heat pump should not be released in the atmosphere, since it
contributes to global warming of the planet (GWP = 1725).
DANGER!

The refrigerant should be recovered for recycling or elimination according to current legislation.

Do not directly touch the area where the leak has occurred, as this could result in severe frostbite
injuries.

Ventilate the area immediately.

Anyone who has come into contact with refrigerant vapour must evacuate the area immediately and
breathe fresh air.

Direct exposure of the refrigerant to a flame produces toxic gas. However, this gas can be detected
by its odour when at concentrations well below the permitted limits.
1.2. Maintenance
ecoGEO heat pumps do not require specific maintenance after they are started up. The controller monitors a large number of
parameters and will produce a warning if any problem arises. It is simply necessary to ensure that the installation is checked
regularly by an authorised installer to make sure that the heat pump is running properly.

If liquids or fluids are detected in the technical room, contact the technical service to check your
installation.
DANGER!

If there is a leak in the brine circuit, the circuit should only be filled with the appropriate antifreeze
mixture;otherwise the heat pump may malfunction or even break down.

All maintenance work must be performed by an authorised technician. Improper handling of the
equipment as a whole can result in personal injury and/or damage to materials.

Do not spill water or other liquids directly on the heat pump to clean it, as this could cause an
electric shock or fire.
The pressure of the brine and production circuits should be checked regularly. The proper circuit pressure values can be found in
the information menu. Circuit pressures should be between 0.7 and 2 bar. If the pressure drops below the minimum setting
established by your technical service, the heat pump will shut down automatically, the corresponding alarm will go off and
equipment status will switch to EMERGENCY.
Use a moist cloth to clean the outside of the heat pump. Do not use abrasive cleaning products that may damage the paint.
