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 and 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.
• 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.

INSTALLATION
Indoor unit installation
1 The mounting floor should be strong and
solid enough to prevent it from vibration.
2 Drill the piping hole with 65 mm diameter
hole-core drill at either the right or the left
of indoor unit. The hole should be sightly
slant to the outdoor side.
Knock-out hole

- When using knock-out hole to route

the piping, insert the plastic cover in

Precautions in bending
1 If it is necessary to bend or stretch the tubing, use the spring which is attached to the tubing
instead of pipe bender.
- Please make a careful notice to make a smooth line.
- Hold the tubing with your two hands closely and then bend or stretch it slowly not to make
any crack.
- Remember that the radius (R) should exceed 70 mm (Refer to Fig. 1).
2 Do not repeat the bending process to prevent the tubing from cracking or crushing.
3 Keep in mind that the bending part should not be cracked and make the radius (R) as long as
possible (Refer to Fig. 2).

 LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION 11

ENGLISH
LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION
Vacuum drying of the connecting pipes and the indoor unit
The air which contains moisture remaining in the refrigeration cycle may cause a malfunction on
the compressor.
1 Confirm that both the liquid side valve and the gas side valve are set to the closed position.
2 After connecting the piping, check the joints for gas leakage with gas leak detector.
3 Remove the service port nut, and connect the gauge manifold and the vacuum pump to the
service port by the charge hose.
4 Vacuum the indoor unit and the connecting pipes until the pressure in them lowers to below
0.8 Torr by the vacuum pump.
5 Remove the valve stem nuts, and fully open the stems of the 2-way and 3-way valves with a
hexagon wrench.
6 Tighten the valve stem nuts of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve.
7 Disconnect the charge hose and fit the nut to the service port.
