General NIBE SPLIT ACVM 270 is a system for heating, cooling and producing hot water for small houses. The system consists of an outdoor module (AMS 10), which utilises the energy in the outdoor air and sends it to the indoor module (ACVM 270), which takes care of the regulation and heat distribution in the house.
It must be disposed of at a special waste station or dealer who provides this type of service. Improper disposal of the product by the user results in administrative penalties in accordance with current legis- lation. NIBE™ SPLIT ACVM 270...
