TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
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.

ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT R410A
10
ENGLISH
ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY 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 be also 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. These days the developed countries have approved it as the environment-friendly
refrigerant and encouraged to use it widely to prevent environment pollution.
CAUTION
!
• The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8MPa
• 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.

Preparation of Piping
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following
procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable
- Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased locally.
- Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
- Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
- Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe
length.
Burrs removal
- Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
- Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to downward direction as you remove burrs in order
to avoid to let burrs drop in the tubing.
Flaring work
- Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as
shown below.
Firmly hold copper tube in a bar(or die) as indicated dimension in the table above.
Check
- Compare the flared work with figure below.

• When loosening a flare nut, always use two wrenches in
combination, When connecting the piping, always use a spanner and
torque wrench in combination to tighten the flare nut.
• When connecting a flare nut, coat the flare(inner and outer faces)
with oil for R410A(PVE) and hand tighten the nut 3 to 4 turns as the
initial tightening.

Insulation of shutoff valve
1 Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resis-
tance (over 120°C).
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), 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 the heat-resistance temperature.
- Add the insulation over 10mm thickness at high humidity environment.
