Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption
when you use the air conditioner. You can use your air conditioner
more efficiently by referring to the instructions below:
• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health
and may consume more electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air
conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air
conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate
indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period
of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may
deteriorate if the air conditioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected
in the air filter may block the air flow or weaken the cooling /
dehumidifying functions.

ENGLISH
CAUTION
!
• The above list indicates the order in which the individual work
operations are normally carried out but this order may be varied
where local conditions warrants such change.
• The thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local
and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8 MPa
(551.1 psi).
• Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional
refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state.(If the refrigerant is
charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the
system will not work properly.)
Notes : * We can guarantee the operation only within 130 %
combination.
ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT R410A
The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in
comparison with R22.
Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting
pressure than R22 ones and this characteristic should also be
considered during the installation.
R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone
depletion potential (ODP) of R410A is 0.
CAUTION
!
• The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant
local and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8 MPa
[551.1 psi]
• Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional
refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state.
If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition
changes and the system will not work properly.
• Do not place the refrigerant container under the direct rays of
the sun to prevent it from exploding.
• For high-pressure refrigerant, any unapproved pipe must not be
used.
• Do not heat pipes more than necessary to prevent them from
softening.
• Be careful not to install wrongly to minimize economic loss
because it is expensive in comparison with R22.
SELECT THE BEST LOCATION
Select space for installing outdoor unit, which will meet the following
conditions:
• No direct thermal radiation from other heat sources
• No possibility of annoying neighbors due to noise of unit
• No exposition to strong wind
• With strength which bears weight of unit
• Note that drain flows out of unit when heating
• Because of the possibility of fire, do not install unit to the space
where generation, inflow, stagnation, and leakage of combustible gas
is expected.

WARNING
!
• Install where it can sufficiently support the weight of the
outdoor unit.
If the support strength is not enough, the outdoor unit may drop
and hurt people.
• Install where the outdoor unit may not fall in strong wind or
earthquake.
If there is a fault in the supporting conditions, the outdoor unit
may fall and hurt people.
• Please take extra cautions on the supporting strength of the
ground, water outlet treatment(treatment of the water flowing
out of the outdoor unit in operation), and the passages of the
pipe and wiring, when making the ground support.
• Do not use tube or pipe for water outlet in the Base panel. Use
drainage instead for water outlet. The tube or pipe may freeze
and the water may not be drained.
CAUTION
!
• Be sure to remove the Pallet(Wood Support) of the bottom side
of the outdoor unit Base panel before fixing the bolt. It may
cause the unstable state of the outdoor settlement, and may
cause freezing of the heat exchanger resulting in abnormal
operations.
• Be sure to remove the Pallet(Wood Support) of the bottom side
of the outdoor unit before welding. Not removing Pallet(Wood
Support) causes hazard of fire during welding.
Foundation for Installation
• Fix the unit tightly with bolts as shown below so that unit will not fall
down due to earthquake or gust.
• Use the H-beam support as a base support
• Noise and vibration may occur from the floor or wall since vibration is
transferred through the installation part depending on installation
status. Thus, use anti-vibration materials (cushion pad) fully (The base
pad shall be more than 200 mm (7-7/8 inch)).
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct
flaring work in the following procedure.

Insulation of shutoff valve
1
Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has
an excellent heat-resistance (over 120 °C [248 °F]).
2 Precautions in high humidity circumstance:
This air conditioner has been tested according to the "ISO
Conditions with Mist" and confirmed that there is not any default.
However, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere
(dew point temperature: More than 23 °C [73.4 °F]), water drops
are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according
to the following procedure:
- Heat insulation material to be prepared:
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene)-over 120 °C
[248 °F] the heat-resistance temperature.
- Add the insulation over 10 mm [0.39 inch] thickness at high
humidity environment.

Nitrogen substitution method
Welding, as when heating without nitrogen substitution a large
amount of the oxide film is formed on the internal piping.
The oxide film is a caused by clogging EEV, Capillary, oil hole of
accumulator and suction hole of oil pump in compressor.
It prevents normal operation of the compressor.
In order to avoid this problem, Welding should be done after replacing
air by nitrogen gas.
When welding plumbing pipe, the work is required.
CAUTION
!
• Always use the nitrogen.(not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, and a
Chevron gas): Please use the following nitrogen pressure 0.02 MPa
(2.9 psi) Oxygen - Promotes oxidative degradation of refrigerant oil.
Because it is flammable, it is strictly prohibited to use Carbon
dioxide - Degrade the drying characteristics of gas Chevron Gas Toxic gas occurs when exposed to direct flame.
•
Always use a pressure reducing valve.
•
Please do not use commercially available antioxidant.
The residual material seems to be the oxide scale is observed. In
fact, due to the organic acids generated by oxidation of the
alcohol contained in the anti-oxidants, ants nest corrosion
occurs. (causes of organic acid → alcohol + copper + water +

12 Always insulate the piping properly. Insufficient insulation will
result in a decline in heating/cooling performance, drip of
condensate and other such problems.
13 When connecting the refrigerant piping, make sure the service
valves of the Outdoor Unit is completely closed (the factory
setting) and do not operate it until the refrigerant piping for the
Outdoor and Indoor Units has been connected, a refrigerant
leakage test has been performed and the evacuation process has
been completed.
14 Always use a non-oxidizing brazing material for brazing the parts
and do not use flux. If not, oxidized film can cause clogging or
damage to the compressor unit and flux can harm the copper
piping or refrigerant oil.
WARNING
!
When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, be
sure to make recharge refrigerant after perfect evacuation.
• If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original
refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit
may be damaged.
• After selecting diameter of the refrigerant pipe to suit total
capacity of the indoor unit connected after branching, use an
appropriate branch pipe set according to the pipe diameter of the
indoor unit and the installation pipe drawing.
For Heat Pump System Installation
Precautions on Pipe connection / Valve operation
Pipe connection is done by connecting from the end of the pipe to the
branching pipes, and the refrigerant pipe coming out of the outdoor
unit is divided at the end to connect to each indoor unit. Flare
connection for the indoor unit, and welding connection for the outdoor
pipe and the branching parts.
- Use hexagonal wrench to open/close the valve.
h In case of the heat pump system installation, be sure to maintain to
close no use pipe like below picture.
Service Port
9 The Multi V will stop due to an abnormality like excessive or
insufficient refrigerant. At such a time, always properly charge the
unit. When servicing, always check the notes concerning both the
piping length and the amount of additional refrigerant.
10 Never perform a pump down. This will not only damage the
compressor but also deteriorate the performance.
11 Never use refrigerant to perform an air purge. Always evacuate air
by using a vacuum pump.
Liquid pipe
Not used(keep closed)
Gas pipe
WARNING
!
• Always careful not to leak the refrigerant during welding.
• The refrigerant generates poisonous gas harmful to human body
if combusted.
• Do not perform welding in a closed space.
• Be sure to close the cap of the service port to prevent gas
leakage after the work.
