Precaution for Safety
The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. Capacity shortages of the power circuit or an incomplete installation may cause an electric shock or fire.
Do not turn ON the circuit breaker under the condition of removing a cabinet, a panel, etc. Otherwise, it leads to an electric shock with a high voltage, resulting in loss of life.
8 –
When you access inside of the electric cover to repair electric parts, wait for about five minutes after turning off the breaker. Do not start repairing immediately. Otherwise you may get electric shock by touching terminals of high-voltage capacitors. Natural discharge of the capacitor takes about five minutes.
Place a “Work in progress” sign near the circuit breaker while the installation, maintenance, repair or removal work is being carried out. There is a danger of electric shocks if the circuit breaker is set to ON by mistake. When checking the electric parts, removing the cover of the electric parts box of Indoor Unit and/ or front panel of Outdoor Unit inevitably to determine the failure, put a sign “Do not enter” around the site before the work. Failure to do this may result in third person getting electric shock. Before operating the air conditioner after having completed the work, check that the electrical parts box cover of the indoor unit and service panel of the outdoor unit are closed, and set the circuit breaker to the ON position. You may receive an electric shock if the power is turned on without first conducting these checks. If, in the course of carrying out repairs, it becomes absolutely necessary to check out the electrical parts with the electrical parts box cover of one or more of the indoor units and the service panel of the outdoor unit removed in order to find out exactly where the trouble lies, wear insulated heat-resistant gloves, insulated boots and insulated work overalls, and take care to avoid touching any live parts. You may receive an electric shock if you fail to heed this warning. Only qualified service person (1) is allowed to do this kind of work.
Before troubleshooting or repair work, check the earth wire is connected to the earth terminals of the main unit, otherwise an electric shock is caused when a leak occurs. If the earth wire is not correctly connected, contact an electric engineer for rework. After completing the repair or relocation work, check that the ground wires are connected properly. Be sure to connect earth wire. (Grounding work
) Incomplete grounding causes an electric shock. Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, and lightning rods or ground wires for telephone wires. Do not modify the products. Do not also disassemble or modify the parts. It may cause a fire, electric shock or injury.
When any of the electrical parts are to be replaced, ensure that the replacement parts satisfy the specifications given in the Service Manual (or use the parts contained on the parts list in the Service Manual). Use of any parts which do not satisfy the required specifications may give rise to electric shocks, smoking and/or a fire. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak. If, in the course of carrying out repairs, it becomes absolutely necessary to check out the electrical parts with the electrical parts box cover of one or more of the indoor units and the service panel of the outdoor unit removed in order to find out exactly where the trouble lies, place Keep out signs around the work site before proceeding. Third-party individuals may enter the work site and receive electric shocks if this warning is not heeded.

When performing repairs using a gas burner, replace the refrigerant with nitrogen gas because the oil that coats the pipes may otherwise burn. When repairing the refrigerating cycle, take the following measures.
1) Be attentive to fire around the cycle.
When using a gas stove, etc., be sure to put out fire before work; otherwise the oil mixed with refrigerant gas may catch fire.
2) Do not use a welder in the closed room.
When using it without ventilation, carbon monoxide poisoning may be caused.
3) Do not bring inflammables close to the refrigerant cycle, otherwise fire of the welder may catch
the inflammables. The refrigerant used by this air conditioner is the R32. Check the used refrigerant name and use tools and materials of the parts which match with it. For the products which use R32 refrigerant, the refrigerant name is indicated at a position on the outdoor unit where is easy to see. To prevent miss-charging, the route of the service port is changed from one of the former R22. Be careful for miss-charging since a chargingport of R32 is the same diameter as that of R410A.
Do not use any refrigerant different from the one specified for complement or replacement. Otherwise, abnormally high pressure may be generated in the refrigeration cycle, which may result in a failure or explosion of the product or an injury to your body. For an air conditioner which uses R32, never use other refrigerant than R32. For an air conditioner which uses other refrigerant (R22, R410A etc.), never use R32. If different types of refrigerant are mixed, abnormal high pressure generates in the refrigerating cycle and an injury due to breakage may be caused.
If the different type of refrigerants are mixed in, be sure to recharge the refrigerant
Do not charge refrigerant additionally. If charging refrigerant additionally when refrigerant gas leaks, the refrigerant composition in the refrigerating cycle changes resulted in change of air conditioner characteristics or refrigerant over the specified standard amount is charged and an abnormal high pressure is applied to the inside of the refrigerating cycle resulted in cause of breakage or injury. Therefore if the refrigerant gas leaks, recover the refrigerant in the air conditioner, execute vacuuming, and then newly recharge the specified amount of liquid refrigerant. In this time, never charge the refrigerant over the specified amount. When recharging the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle, do not mix the refrigerant or air other than R32 into the specified refrigerant. If air or others is mixed with the refrigerant, abnormal high pressure generates in the refrigerating cycle resulted in cause of injury due to breakage. After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak. If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, it maygenerate noxious gases, causing a fire. Never recover the refrigerant into the outdoor unit. When the equipment is moved or repaired, be sure to recover the refrigerant with recovering device. The refrigerant cannot be recovered in the outdoor unit; otherwise a serious accident such as breakage or injury is caused. After repair work, surely assemble the disassembled parts, and connect and lead the removed wires as before. Perform the work so that the cabinet or panel does not catch the inner wires. If incorrect assembly or incorrect wire connection was done, a disaster such as a leak or fire is caused at user’s side. After the work has finished, be sure to use an insulation tester set (500V Megger) to check the resistance is 1Mȍ or more between the charge section and the non-charge metal section (Earth position). If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a leak or electric shock is caused at user’s side. When the refrigerant gas leaks during work, execute ventilation. If the refrigerant gas touches to a fire, it maygenerate noxious gases, causing a fire. A case of leakage of the refrigerant and the closed room full with gas is dangerous because a shortage of oxygen occurs. Be sure to execute ventilation. If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately. If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, it maygenerate noxious gases, causing a fire.

When the refrigerant gas leaks, find up the leaked position and repair it surely. If the leaked position cannot be found up and the repair work is interrupted, pump-down and tighten the service valve, otherwise the refrigerant gas may leak into the room. When gas touches to fire such as fan heater, stove or cocking stove, it may generate noxious gases, causing a fire though the refrigerant gas itself is innocuous. When installing equipment which includes a large amount of charged refrigerant such as a multi air conditioner in a sub-room, it is necessary that the density does not the limit even if the refrigerant leaks. If the refrigerant leaks and exceeds the limit density, an accident of shortage of oxygen is caused. Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner. Excessive tighten of the flare nut may cause a crack in the flare nut after a long period, which may result in refrigerant leakage. Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test. The charge hose must be connected in such a way that it is not slack. For the installation/moving/reinstallation work, follow to the Installation Manual. If an incorrect installation is done, a trouble of the refrigerating cycle, water leak, electric shock or fire is caused. Install the outdoor unit properly in a location that is durable enough to support the weight of the outdoor unit. Insufficient durability may cause the outdoor unit to fall, which may result in injury. Once the repair work has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks, and check the insulation resistance and water drainage. Then perform a trial run to check that the air conditioner is running properly. After repair work has finished, check there is no trouble. If check is not executed, a fire, electric shock or injury may be caused. For a check, turn off the power breaker.
After repair work (installation of front panel and cabinet) has finished, execute a test run to check there is no generation of smoke or abnormal sound. If check is not executed, a fire or an electric
shock is caused. Before test run, install the front panel and cabinet. Check the following matters before a test run after repairing piping.
••Connect the pipes surely and there is no leak of refrigerant. The valve is opened.
Running the compressor under condition that the valve closes causes an abnormal high pressure resulted in damage of the parts of the compressor and etc. and moreover if there is leak of refrigerant at connecting section of pipes, the air is suctioned and causes further
abnormal high pressure resulted in burst or injury. Only a qualified installer (1) or qualified service person (1) is allowed to relocate the air conditioner. It is dangerous for the air conditioner to be relocated by an unqualified individual since a fire, electric shocks, injury, water leakage, noise and/or vibration may result. Check the following items after reinstallation.
1) The earth wire is correctly connected.
2) The power cord is not caught in the product.
3) There is no inclination or unsteadiness and the installation is stable. If check is not executed, a fire, an electric shock or an injury is caused. When the service panel of the outdoor unit is to be opened in order for the compressor or the area around this part to be repaired immediately after the air conditioner has been shut down, set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and then wait at least 10 minutes before opening the service panel. If you fail to heed this warning, you will run the risk of burning yourself because the compressor pipes and other parts will be very hot to the touch. In addition, before proceeding with the repair work, wear the kind of insulated heat-resistant gloves designed to protect electricians. When the service panel of the outdoor unit is to be opened in order for the fan motor, reactor, inverter or the areas around these parts to be repaired immediately after the air conditioner has been shut down, set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and then wait at least 10 minutes before opening the service panel. If you fail to heed this warning, you will run the risk of burning yourself because the fan motor, reactor, inverter heat sink and other parts will be very hot to the touch. In addition, before proceeding with the repair work, wear the kind of insulated heat-resistant gloves designed to protect electricians.

Only a qualified installer (1) or qualified service person (1) is allowed to install the air conditioner. If the air conditioner is installed by an unqualified individual, a fire, electric shocks, injury, water leakage, noise and/or vibration may result. Before starting to install the air conditioner, read carefully through the Installation Manual, and follow its instructions to install the air conditioner. Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to a risk of expire to a combustible gas. If a combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
When transporting the air conditioner, use a forklift and when moving the air conditioner by hand, move the unit with 2 people.(GM56,80) or move the unit with 4 people(GM110,140)
Install a circuit breaker that meets the specifications in the installation manual and the stipulations in the local regulations and laws. Install the circuit breaker where it can be easily accessed by the agent. Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to the wind of air conditioner, otherwise it may cause imperfect combustion. When carrying out the pump-down work shut down the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipe. Disconnecting the refrigerant pipe with the service valve left open and the compressor still operating will cause air, etc. to be sucked in, raising the pressure inside the refrigeration cycle to an abnormally high level, and possibly resulting in reputing, injury, etc. When removing the welding parts of suction and discharge pipe for the compressor, remove them at the place ventilated well after recovering the refrigerant. Improper recovering may cause the spurt of the refrigerant and the refrigeration oil, causing a injury. Do not vent gases to the atmosphere. Venting gases to the atmosphere is prohibited by the law.
䚷䚷䚷CAUTION
Ensure wearing of gloves when performing any work in order to avoid injury from parts, etc. Failure to wear the proper protective gloves cause a injury due to the parts, etc.
When performing the welding work, check whether refrigerant leaks or remains. If the leakage refrigerant gas touches a fire source, it may generate noxious gases, causing a fire.

Refrigerant R32
This air conditioner adopts a new HFC type refrigerant (R32) which does not deplete the ozone layer.
1. Safety Caution Concerned to Refrigerant R32
Be sure that water, dust, the former refrigerant or the former refrigerating oil is not mixed into the refrigerating cycle of the air conditioner with refrigerant R32 during installation work or service work. If an incorrect work or incorrect service is performed, there is a possibility to cause a serious accident. Use the tools and materials exclusive to R32 to purpose a safe work.
2. Safety and Cautions on Installation/Service <Safety items>
When gas concentration and ignition energy are happened at the same time, R32 has a slight possibility of burning. Although it will not ignite under normal work environment conditions, be aware that the flame spreads if ignition should occur. It is necessary to carry out installation/servicing safely while taking the following precautions into consideration.
1) Never use refrigerant other than specified refrigerant (R32) in an air conditioner which is designed to operate with the specified refrigerant (R32). If other refrigerant than R32 is used, it may cause personal injury, etc. by a malfunction, a fire, a rupture.
2) Since R32 is heavier than air, it tends to accumulate on the bottom (near the floor). Ventilate properly for the working environment to prevent its combustion. Especially in a basement or a closed room where is the high risk of the accumulation, ventilate the room with a local exhaust ventilation. If refrigerant leakage is confirmed in the room or the place where the ventilation is insufficient, do not work until the proper ventilation is performed and the work environment is improved.
3) When performing brazing work, be sure to check for leakage refrigerant or residual refrigerant. If the leakage refrigerant comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may occur or it may cause a fire. Keep adequate ventilation during the work.
4) When refrigerant gas leaks during work, execute ventilation. If the leakage refrigerant comes into contact with a fire, a poisonous gas may occur or it may cause a fire.
5) In places where installing / repairing air-conditioning equipment, etc., keep the source of ignition such as gas combustion equipment, petroleum combustion equipment, electric heater etc. away. Do not smoke in the place.
6) When installing or removing an air conditioner, do not mix air in the refrigerant cycle. If air or others is mixed with the refrigerant, abnormal high pressure generates in the refrigerating cycle, causing injury due to the breakage.
7) After installation work complete, confirm that refrigerant gas is not leaking on the flare connection part or others. If leaked refrigerant comes to contact with a fire, toxic gas may occur, causing a fire.
8) Perform the installation work and re-installation according to the installation manual. Pay attention especially to the area of application. Improper installation may cause refrigeration trouble or water leakage, electric shock and fire etc.
9) Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualified air conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repair may result in water leakage, electric shock and fire, etc.
10)Carry out the airtight test with nitrogen at a specified pressure. Do not use oxygen or acetylene gas absolutely as it may cause an explosion.
11)Always carry a refrigerant leakage detection sensor during the work and work while checking that no refrigerant leaks around working environment.
12)If the leakage refrigerant comes into contact with fire, it may cause a fire. Have a dry powder or CO
2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

<Caution items>
1) The opposite side dimension of the air-conditioner's flared nut using R32 and the shape of the charge port are the same as those of R410A.
2) Be careful not to charge refrigerant by mistake. Should the different type of refrigerant mix in, be sure to recharge the refrigerant
3) Do not mix the other refrigerant or refrigerating oil with the refrigerant.
4) Since the pressure of R32 is high 1.6 times of that of the former refrigerant (R22), use tools and parts with high pressure withstand specification similar to R410A.
5) In the installation time, use clean pipe materials and work with great attention so that water and others do not mix in because
pipes are affected by impurities such as water, oxide film, oil, etc. Use the clean pipes. Be sure to braze while flowing nitrogen gas in the pipe. (Never use gas other than nitrogen gas.)
6) For the earth protection, use a vacuum pump for air purge.
7) R32 refrigerant is Single-component refrigerant that does not change its composition. Although it is possible to charge the refrigerant with either liquid or gas, charge it with liquid. (If using gas for charging, composition of the refrigerant changes and then characteristics of the air conditioner change.)
3. Pipe Materials
For the refrigerant pipes, copper pipe and joints are mainly used. It is necessary to select the most appropriate pipes to conform to the standard. Use clean material in which impurities adhere inside of pipe or joint to a minimum.
1) Copper pipe
<Piping>
The pipe thickness, flare finishing size, flare nut and others differ according to a refrigerant type. When using a long copper pipe for R32, it is recommended to select “Copper or copper-base pipe without seam” and one with bonded oil amount 40mg/10m or less. Also do not use crushed, deformed, discolored (especially inside) pipes. (Impurities cause clogging of expansion valves and capillary tubes.)
<Flare nut>
Use the flare nuts which are attached to the air conditioner unit.
Be sure to select the pipes with copper thickness in the table below since the pressure of an air conditioner using R32 is higher than that of R22.
1/2 6.4 0.80
Make sure not to use a thin copper pipe such as 0.7 mm copper thichness in the market.
3/8 9.5 0.80 1/2 12.7 0.80 5/8 15.9 1.00
2) Joint
The flare joint and socket joint are used for joints of the copper pipe. The joints are rarely used for installation of the air conditioner. However clear impurities when using them.

Note 1 When flaring is carried out for R410A or R32 using the conventional flare tools, adjustment of projection margin is necessary. For this adjustment, a copper pipe gauge, etc. are necessary. Note 2 When saturation temperature is described, the gauge manifold differs for R410A and R32. If saturation temperature reading is required, special tools exclusive for R32 are required.
Note 3 Since R32 has a slight possibility of burning, be sure to use the tools corresponding to R32. Note 4 Like R410, a Vacuum pump adapter needs installing to prevent a Vacuum pump oil (mineral oil) from
flowing backward into the Charge hose. Mixing of the Vacuum pump oil into R32 refrigerant may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge, clogging of capillary, etc.
Note 5 Be sure to use those tools after confirming they correspond to each refrigerant. Note 6 For a refrigerant cylinder exclusive for R32, the paint color (or label color) of the cylinder is set to
the specified color (light blue) together with the indication of the refrigerant name. Note 7 Although the container specification is the same as R410A, use a recovering container exclusive for R32 to avoid mixing with other refrigerants. Note 8 Be careful for miss-charging of the refrigerant during work. Miss-charging of the refrigerant type may cause not only damage of the equipments but also a fire etc.
In addition to the above exclusive tools, the following equipments are necessary as the general tools.

This air conditioner adopted the R32 refrigerant which does not damage the ozone layer.
The working pressure of the refrigerant R32 is 1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant (R22). The refrigerating oil is also changed in accordance with change of refrigerant, so be careful that water, dust, and existing refrigerant or refrigerating oil are not entered in the refrigerant cycle of the air conditioner using the new refrigerant during installation work or servicing time.
The next section describes the precautions for air conditioner using the
refrigerant.
Conforming to contents of the next section together with the general cautions included in this manual, perform the correct and safe work.
6-1. Safety During Installation/Servicing
As R32’s pressure is about 1.6 times higher than that of R22, improper installation/servicing may cause a serious trouble. By using tools and materials exclusive for R32, it is necessary to carry out installation/servicing safely while taking the following precautions into consideration.
1. Never use refrigerant other than R32 in an air conditioner which is designed to operate with R32. If other refrigerant than R32 is mixed, pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high, and it may cause personal injury, etc. by a rupture.
2. Confirm the used refrigerant name, and use tools and materials exclusive for the refrigerant R32. The refrigerant name R32 is indicated on the visible place of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner using R32 as refrigerant.
A diameter of charge port for R32 is the
same as that of the R410's Be careful not to charge the refrigerant by mistake.
3. If a refrigeration gas leakage occurs during
installation/servicing, be sure to ventilate fully. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may occur.
4. When installing or removing an air conditioner, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture or personal injury may be caused.
5. After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming into contact with fire in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
6. When an air conditioning system charged with a large volume of refrigerant is installed in a small room, it is necessary to exercise care so that, even when refrigerant leaks, its concentration does not exceed the marginal level.
If the refrigerant gas leakage occurs and its concentration exceeds the marginal level, an oxygen starvation accident may result.
7. Be sure to carry out installation or removal according to the installation manual.
Improper installation may cause refrigeration trouble, water leakage, electric shock, fire, etc.
8. Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualified air conditioner technician or electrician.
Improper repair may result in water leakage, electric shock and fire, etc.
6-2. Refrigerant Piping Installation
6-2-1. Piping Materials and Joints Used
For the refrigerant piping installation, copper pipes and joints are mainly used.
Copper pipes and joints suitable for the refrigerant must be chosen and installed.
Furthermore, it is necessary to use clean copper pipes and joints whose interior surfaces are less affected by contaminants.
1. Copper Pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes which are made of either copper or copper alloy and it is desirable that the amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10 m.
Do not use copper pipes having a collapsed, deformed or discolored portion (especially on the interior surface).
Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may become blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R32 incurs pres-sure higher than when using R22, it is necessary to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R32 are as shown in Table 6-2-1. Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.8mm even when it is avail-able on the market.
NOTE:
Refer to the “6-6. Instructions for Re-use Piping of R22 or R407C”.

Table 6-2-1 Thicknesses of annealed copper pipes
1. Joints For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all contaminants.
a) Flare Joints
Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes cannot be used for pipings whose outer diameter exceeds 20 mm. In such a case, socket joints can be used.
Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and flare nuts are as shown in Tables 6-2-3 to 6-2-5 below.
b) Socket Joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for connections, and used mainly for thick pipings whose
diameter is larger than 20 mm. Thicknesses of socket joints are as shown in Table 6-2-2.
Table 6-2-2 Minimum thicknesses of socket joints
6-2-2. Processing of Piping Materials
When performing the refrigerant piping installation, care should be taken to ensure that water or dust does not enter the pipe interior, that no other oil other than lubricating oils used in the installed air conditioner is used, and that refrigerant does not leak.
When using lubricating oils in the piping processing, use such lubricating oils whose water content has been removed. When stored, be sure to seal the container with an airtight cap or any other cover.
1. Flare Processing Procedures and Precautions
a) Cutting the Pipe
By means of a pipe cutter, slowly cut the pipe so that it is not
deformed.
b) Removing Burrs and Chips
If the flared section has chips or burrs, refrigerant leakage may occur.
Carefully remove all burrs and clean the cut surface before installation.

c) Insertion of Flare Nut d) Flare Processing
Make certain that a clamp bar and copper pipe have been cleaned. By means of the clamp bar, perform the flare processing correctly. Use either a flare tool for R410A/R32 or conventional flare tool. Flare processing dimensions differ according to the type of flare tool. When using a conventional flare tool, be sure to secure “dimension A” by using a gauge for size adjustment.

2. Flare Connecting Procedures and Precautions a) Make sure that the flare and union portions do not have any scar or dust, etc.
b) Correctly align the processed flare surface with the union axis.
c) Tighten the flare with designated torque by means of a torque wrench.
The tightening torque for R410A or R32 is the same as that for conventional R22.
Incidentally, when the torque is weak, the gas leakage may occur.
When it is strong, the flare nut may crack and may be made non-removable.
When choosing the tightening torque, comply with values designated by manufacturers.
Table 6-2-6 shows reference values.
NOTE:
When applying oil to the flare surface, be sure to use oil designated by the manufacturer. If any other oil is used, the lubricating oils may deteriorate and cause the compressor to burn out.

When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specified amount of refrigerant according to the following steps.
(INDOOR unit)
(Liquid side)
Refrigerant cylinder
(With siphon pipe)
Check valve
(Gas side)
Open/Close valve
for charging
Electronic balance for refrigerant charging
Opened
(OUTDOOR unit)
Closed
Service port
Connect the charge hose to packed valve service port at the outdoor unit’s gas side.
Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant remains in the equipment.
(For refrigerant charging, see the figure below.)
Connect the charge hose of the vacuum pump adapter.
Open fully both packed valves at liquid and gas sides.
Place the handle of the gauge manifold Low in the fully opened position, and turn on the vacuum pump’s power switch. Then, evacuating the refrigerant in the cycle.
When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated –0.1 Mpa (–76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s power switch.
Keep the status as it is for 1 to 2 minutes, and ensure that the compound gauge’s pointer does not return.
Set the refrigerant cylinder to the electronic balance, connect the connecting hose to the cylinder and the connecting port of the electronic balance, and charge
liquid refrigerant.
1) Never charge refrigerant exceeding the specified amount.
2) If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be charged, charge refrigerant bit by bit in COOL mode.
3) Do not carry out additional charging. When additional charging is carried out if refrigerant leaks, the refrigerant composition changes in the refrigeration cycle, that is characteristics of the air conditioner changes, refrigerant exceeding the specified amount is charged, and working pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high pressure, and may cause a rupture or personal injury.
