NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
(1) The design standard of multi VRF system comforms to related standard of sales countries.
(2) To ensure safety when operating this system, please strictly follow the instructions in this manual.
(3) The total capacity of running indoor units must not exceed that of the outdoor units. Otherwise, the cooling
(heating) effect of each IDU would be poor.
(4) Make sure that this manual is kept by direct operators and maintainers.
(5) In case of malfunction, please examine the following items and contact our authorized service centers as soon
as possible.
1） Air conditioner’s nameplate (model, cooling capacity, product code, ex-factory date)
2） Malfunction status (detail description of conditions before and after malfunction occurs)
(6) All units have been strictly tested and proved to be qualified before ex-factory. To avoid damage or operation
failure which may be caused by improper disassembly, please do not disassemble units by yourself. If
disassembly is needed, please contact our authorized service centers.
(7) All graphics and information in this manual are only for reference. Manufacturer reserves the right for changes
in terms of sales or production at any time and without prior notice.
(8) Under the standby status, the unit will consume a little power for ensuring reliability of the complete unit,

1 Safety Precautions
(1) Follow this instruction to complete the installation work. Please carefully read this manual before unit
startup and service.
(2) Wire size of power cord should be large enough. The damaged power cord and connection wire should
be replaced by exclusive cable.
(3) After connecting the power cord, please fix the electric box cover properly in order to avoid accident.
(4) Never fail to comply with the nitrigen charge requirements. Charge nitrogen when welding pipes.
(5) Never short-circiut or cancel the pressure switch to prevent unit damage.
(6) Please firstly connect the wired controller before energization, otherwise wired controller cannot be
used.
(7) Before using the unit, please check if the piping and wiring are correct to avoid water leakage, refrigerant
leakage, electric shock, or fire etc.
(8) Do not insert fingers or objects into air outlet/inlet grille.
(9) Open the door and window and keep good ventilation in the roo m to avoid oxygen deficit when the
gas/oil supplied heating equipment is used.
(10) Never start up or shut off the air conditioner by means of directly plug or unplug the power cord.
(11) Turn off the unit after it runs at least five minutes; otherwise it will inf luence oil return of the compressor.
(12) Do not allow children operate this unit.
(13) Do not operate this unit with wet hands.
(14) Turn off the unit or cut off the power supply before cleaning the unit, otherwise electric shock or injury
may happen.
(15) Never spray or flush water towards unit, otherwise malfunction or electric shock may happen.
(16) Do not expose the unit to the moist or corrosive circumstances.
(17) Under cooling mode, please don't set the room temperature too low and keep the temperature difference
between indoor and outdoor unit within 5ºC(41ºF).
(18) User is not allowed to repair the unit. Fault service may cause electric shock or fire accidents. Please
contact Gree appointed service center for help.
(19) Before installation, please check if the power supply is in accordance with the requirements specified on
the nameplate. And also take care of the power safety.
(20) Installation should be conducted by dealer or qualified personnel. Please do not attempt to install the
unit by yourself. Improper handling may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire disaster etc.
(21) Be sure to use the exclusive accessory and part to prevent the water leakage, electric shock and fire
accidents.
(22) Make sure the unit can be earthed properly and soundly after plugging into the sock et so as to avoid
electric shock. Please do not connect the ground wire to gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone
line.
(23) Electrify the unit 8 hours before operation. Please switch on for 8 hours before operation. Do not cut off
the power when 24 hours short-time halting (to protect the compressor).
(24) If refrigerant leakage happens during installation, please ventilate immediately. Poisonous gas will
emerge if the refrigerant gas meets fire.
(25) Volatile liquid, such as diluent or gas will damage the unit appearance. Only use soft cloth with a little
neutral detergent to clean the outer casing of unit.
(26) If anything abnormal happens (such as burning smell), please power off the unit and cut off the main
power supply, and then immediately contact Gree appointed service center. If abnormality keeps going,
the unit might be damaged and lead to electric shock or fire.
