WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:
▪Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen deficiency.
▪Toxic gas might be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump down the system, and there is a leak in the refrigerant circuit:
▪Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function, with which you can collect all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence: Selfcombustion and explosion of the compressor because of air going into the operating compressor.
▪Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's compressor does NOT have to operate.
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment.
Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation.
NOTICE
After all the piping has been connected, make sure there is no gas leak. Use nitrogen to perform a gas leak detection.
NOTICE
▪ To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more than the specified amount of refrigerant.
▪When the refrigerant system is to be opened, refrigerant MUST be treated according to the applicable legislation.
WARNING
Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.
Possible consequence: Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor because of oxygen going into the operating compressor.
▪In case recharge is required, see the nameplate of the unit. It states the type of refrigerant and necessary amount.
▪The unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending on pipe sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional charging of refrigerant.

8 | Operation
▪Changeover cannot be made with a user interface whose display shows "change-over under centralised control" (refer to installation and operation manual of the user interface).
▪When the display "change-over under centralised control" flashes, refer to "About setting the master user interface" [432].
▪The fan may keep on running for about 1 minute after the heating operation stops.
▪The air flow rate may adjust itself depending on the room temperature or the fan may stop immediately. This is not a malfunction.
It may take longer to reach the set temperature for general heating operation than for cooling operation.
The following operation is performed in order to prevent the heating capacity from dropping or cold air from blowing.
Defrost operation
In heating operation, freezing of the outdoor unit's air cooled coil increases over time, restricting the energy transfer to the outdoor unit's coil. Heating capability decreases and the system needs to go into defrost operation to be able to remove frost from the outdoor unit’s coil. During defrost operation the heating capacity on the indoor unit side will temporarily drop until defrosting is completed. After defrosting, the unit will regain its full heating capacity.

coil. |
|
|
The indoor unit will indicate defrost operation on the display .
Hot start
In order to prevent cold air from blowing out of an indoor unit at the start of heating operation, the indoor fan is automatically stopped. The display of the user interface shows . It may take some time before the fan starts. This is not a malfunction.
INFORMATION
▪ The heating capacity drops when the outside temperature falls. If this happens, use another heating device together with the unit. (When using together with appliances that produce open fire, ventilate the room constantly). Do not place appliances that produce open fire in places exposed to the air flow from the unit or under the unit.
▪It takes some time to heat up the room from the time the unit is started since the unit uses a hot-air circulating system to heat the entire room.
▪If the hot air rises to the ceiling, leaving the area above the floor cold, we recommend that you use the circulator (the indoor fan for circulating air). Contact your dealer for details.
