Maintaining the air conditioner
If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, dry the air conditioner to maintain it in best condition.
1. Dry the air conditioner thoroughly by operating in Fan mode for 3 to 4 hours and disconnect the power plug.
There may be internal damage if moisture is left in components.
2. Before using the air conditioner again, dry the inner components of the air conditioner again by running in Fan mode
for 3 to 4 hours. This helps remove odors which may have generated from dampness.

Purging the indoor unit
The indoor unit is supplied with inert gas (nitrogen).
If this one isn’t true, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT since leakage could be inside the indoor unit.
1. Unscrew the caps at the end of each pipe.
All inert gas exhausts from the indoor unit.
• To prevent dirt or foreign substances from getting into the pipes during
installation, do NOT remove the caps completely until you are ready to
connect the pipes.
• The remaining air in the Refrigeration cycle, which contains moisture,
may cause malfunction on the compressor.
• Always contact the service center or a professional installation agency
for product installation.
Cutting or extending the pipe
A 5-meter pipe is supplied with the air conditioner (optional NOT FOR ITALY).
The length of the pipe can be:
• Extended up to : see table page 23
• Shorten up to: see page 23
If you need a pipe longer than 5 meters:
• You must extend the assembly cable.
• You must add refrigerant to the pipes; otherwise, the indoor unit may freeze.

2. If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it using a pipe cutter, ensuring that the cut edge remains at 90° with the side of the
pipe (see below examples of correct and incorrect cut edges).

Installing and connecting the drain hose of the outdoor unit
While heating, ice may accumulate. During the process of defrosting, check if condensation draining is adequate. For adequate
draining, do the following:
1. Insert the drain plug into the drain hole on the underside of the outdoor unit.
• To avoid drain plug from contacting the ground, secure gap between the
ground and the bottom surface of the outdoor unit.
2. Connect a drain hose to the drain plug.
3. Ensure that condensation draining is adequate.
• In areas with heavy snow fall, piled snow could block the air intake.
To avoid this incident, install a frame that is higher than estimated snow
fall. In addition, install a snow-proof hood to avoid snow from piling on the
outdoor unit.

• When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When recovering the refrigerant, ground the compressor
before removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor works
with the service valve open, the pipe inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of the refrigerant cycle
abnormally high. It may cause explosion and injury.

Charging the refrigerant under conditions of liquid by using a liquid pipe
R410A is a mixed type of refrigerant. It is necessary for recharging under conditions of liquid. When recharging refrigerant from
the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, follow the instructions below.
1. Before recharging, check whether the cylinder has a siphon or not.
There are two ways to recharge the refrigerant.
ENGLISH
Cylinder with siphon
Charge the refrigerant standing the
cylinder upright.
• If R410A refrigerant is charged with gas, the composition of the charged refrigerant changes and the
characteristics of the equipment vary.
• During the measuring operation of refrigerant quantity added use an electronic balance.
If cylinder doesn’t have syphon, upset it.

Cylinder without siphon
Charge the refrigerant turning the cylinder
upside down.

Leak test with nitrogen (before opening valves)
In order to detect basic refrigerant leaks, before recreating the vacuum and recirculating the R410A, it’s responsible of
installer to pressurize the whole system with nitrogen (using a cylinder with pressure reducer) at a pressure above 40 bar
(gauge).
Leak test with R410A (after opening valves)
Before opening valves, discharge all the nitrogen from the system and create vacuum according to page 33~35.
opening valves, check leaks using a leak detector for refrigerant.

Pump down (before disconnecting the refrigerant connections for unit repair, removal or disposal)
Pump-down is an operation intended to collect all the system refrigerant in the outdoor unit.
This operation must be carried out before disconnecting the refrigerant tubing in order to avoid refrigerant loss to the
atmosphere.
Turn the system on in cooling with fan operating at high velocity.
( Compressor will immediately start, provided 3 minutes have elapsed since the last stop).
After 2 minutes of operation, shut the suction valve with the same wrench.
Disconnect tubing. After disconnection, protect valves and tubing ends from dust.
Compressor damage may occur if run at a negative suction pressure.
