What is this? This is a wall-mounted heat pump made by QLIMA. It uses a gas called R290 propane to work.

What's happening? The pump has too much propane inside. If it leaks and is near a spark or flame, it could start a fire or explode. The manual also gives wrong advice about where to put the pump.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this QLIMA heat pump in France, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a qualified technician or your local fire department for help. Talk to your installer or a professional before turning it back on.
