Compact, quiet and provides unmatched comfort in any room.
The Gree Rio High-Efficiency Duct-free Mini-Split Heat Pump system is compact, quiet & provides
unmatched comfort in any room. This system includes an indoor cabinet, outdoor compressor, wireless
remote and remote cradle. Without needi ng duct work, installation is simple, fast & cost effective. In
addition The Gree Rio provides quiet comfort & improved efficiency by eliminating heat loss
inefficiencies of conventional central air conditioning systems.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
HIGH EFFICIENCY G-10 INVERTER - The G10 Inverter uses a broad range
of variable frequencies to drive the compressor, marking the highest level of
inverter control technology available today. Unlike conventional technology
that generally regulates room temperature by running at maximum capacity and
then shutting off completely, G10 Inverter technology eliminates these harsh
starts/stops. This cutting edge functionality results in quicker arrival at desired temperatures and superior
maintenance of consistent comfort levels. Hi gher efficiency and significant energy sav ings? Yes, it yields
those too.
HEAT PUMP ADVANTAGE – Gree heat pumps, powered by the G10 Inverter, provide the same heating
capacity as electric heat, while using as little as 1/3 the electricity.
WHISPER QUIET - Not only is the Rio systems energy efficient, it’s quiet too. Wall mounted units
operate with sound levels starting as low as 32 dB(A).
INTELLIGENT DEFROST - The Intelligent Defrost function increases room comfort and saves energy
by eliminating unnecessary defrost cycles. In heating mode, the control system monitors the outdoor coil
for frost buildup, and the system switches to defrost mode only when frost buildup is actually detected.
This avoids unnecessary and wasteful defrosts.
LOW VOLTAGE START UP – Having stable electrical power is not always an option. The Gree system
will operate from 170v to 253v (230v model) and 104v to 127v (115v models) which is suitable for
unstable power supply areas.
SUBTLE APPEARANCE -Designed for a comfortable fit in virtually any living space. This slim
compact cabinet sits inconspicuously on the wall, and blends into most interior designs
UNIT DISPLAY – Rio wall mounted units have a lar ge easy-to-read display and indicator lights giving
instead feedback on room setpoint, operating mode and much more. The display can also be turned off
based on your personal preference.
MULTI-SPEED FAN – The indoor fan can run at up to four different speeds (Low, Medium, High or Turbo) for either COOLING or HEATING mode for maximum comfort an d quiet operation.
TIME GUARD - Among the system’s many safeti es is a Time Guard function to prevent rapid cycling of
the compressor. A protective five-minute time delay restricts compressor restarts after shutoff.
POWER FAILURE MODE - Power interruptions are no problem. User selections and system parameters
are stored in non-volatile memory. These parameters are retained during a power failure. When power is
returned, the system will automatically return to the last operating mode.
INTELLIGENT PRE-HEATING - The system guards against the an noying COLD BLOW in heating
mode, and constantly monitors the discharge air temperature. It will delay the indoor fan until the indoor
coil has warmed up to prevent blowing uncomfortable cool air into the room.
WIRELESS IR REMOTE CONTROLLER - The Gree multi-functional infrared hand held wireless
controller is sleek, ergonomically designed, easy to use and has a large backlit LCD display.
MODE BUTTON - The units can be set to five different operating modes: HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN ONLY and AUTO.
Note: AUTO MODE has fixed setpoints of 68° F heating and 78° F cooling, which are not
changeable. The system will automatically select heating or cooling to maintain room
temperature within this temperature band.
TIMER MODE – The unit can be programmed to turned ON or OFF after a specific amount time. The
time period is adjustable between one half and 24 hours.
SWING LOUVER – The unit has adjustable swing louvers which can be controlled from the wired tether
or wireless controllers. Vertical swing louver allows five different vertical (up & down) air discharge
directions including Continuous Sweep. Maximize comfort by adjusting the direction of airflow in the
room by moving the louvers up or down.
PRIVACY LOCK MODE – Both wired tether and wireless controllers have a Privacy Lock to avert
unauthorized access and stop tampering wit h system settings.
SLEEP MODE –The unit will automatically adjust room temperature during sleep time. This slight
change in temperature will not affect your comfort level due to the natural effects that sleeping has on the
body, but it will save on energy consumption and will lower electric bills.
FAHRENHEIT ° F / CELSIUS ° C - The wired tether and wireless controllers can be set to display in
either °F or °C.
POLYMERIC AIR FILTERS –Two-piece removable polymeric air filters easi ly slide in and out from the
front of the indoor unit and are interchangeable. The front panel does not need to be removed to access or
change the filters. The filters are washabl e and permanent.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS –With an on-board computer using real-time diagnostics, the Gree system helps to
prolong its own life. The automatic diagnosis feature continuously scans for unacceptable o perating
conditions or malfunctions. If such conditions occur, the system takes corrective action or stops. Fault
codes are shown on the unit display to facilitate easy troubleshooting and repair.
AGENCY LISTINGS - All systems are listed with
AHRI (Air conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration
Institute) and are ETL Certified per UL Standards.
5/7 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY - Enjoy one of the most comprehensive war ranties in the industry.

The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. System must be on a single dedicated circuit.
Use appropriate wire size and circuit breaker (or fuse) size for proper system overcurrent
protection. Follow all local building codes and NEC (National Electrical Code) regulations.
Interconnecting Cable Wiring Diagram
The indoor unit is powered by the outdoor unit. The interconnecting cable between the outdoor
and indoor unit must be a 14/4 AWG stranded copper conductors THHN 600V unshielded wire.
The interconnecting cable should not be buried underground and must be recognized by UL or
ETL and CSA certified.
Note: Use shield cable if installation is in close proximity of RF and EMI transmitting devices.
Local codes may require a disconnect switch within sight of the indoor unit. For these
installations, use a DFS Disconnect Switch Accessory Kit (Part No: DFS-SWITCH-A) to break
wires going to the N(1), 2, 3 terminals on the indoor unit, as shown in the wiring diagram below:
CONDENSATE REMOVAL
Install condensate drain to safely and effectiv el y route condensate water to a safe location. Use a flexible
condensate drain hose to fit over the factory 5/8-inch (16mm) drainage port. The high wall indoor units
have an internal condensate trap. Adding an ext ernal trap is not required.
All condensate drains must meet local codes and reg ulations. If adequate gravity drainage cannot be
provided, a field-installed condensate pump m ust be used. Refer to manufacturer’s installation
instructions, specifications and operating details supplied with condensate pump.
