(7) Removal and Evacuation When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a considera- tion.
Page 6
(10) Labelling Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, ensure that there are labels on the equipment stat- ing the equipment contains flammable refrigerant. (11) Recovery When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.

SERVICE FUNCTIONS MLZ-KP25VF MLZ-KP35VF MLZ-KP50VF 9-1. TIMER SHORT MODE • For service, the following set time can be shortened by bridging the timer short mode point on the electronic control P.C. board. (Refer to 11-7.) • The set time for the ON/OFF timer can be reduced to 1 second for each minute.
Page 14
9-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C. board. “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” automatically starts operation in the same mode just before the shutoff of the main power. Operation If the main power has been cut, the operation settings remain.
