Before completing the installation (insulation of the hose and piping),
you must check that there are no gas leaks.

To check for gas leaks on the...
Outdoor unit
When using the air conditioner in the heating mode, ice may accumu-
late. During de - icing, the condensed water must be drained off safely.
Consequently, you must install a drain hose on the outdoor unit, following the
instructions below.
Make space more than 50mm between the bottom of the outdoor unit
1
and the ground for installation of the drain hose, as shown in figure.
Insert the drain plug into the hole on the underside of the outdoor unit.
2
Connect the drain hose to the drain plug.
3
Ensure that the drained water runs off correctly and safely.

Once you have checked that there are no leaks in the system, you can insu-
late the piping and hose.
To avoid condensation problems, place an insulator around each
1
refrigerant pipe.
Note
Then, using a leak detector,
check the...
Valves on sections A and B.
When insulate the pipe, be sure to overlap the insulation.
You have to use more than 120°C insulation(T13.0 or thicker
Acrylonitrile Butadien Rubber) for the gas refrigerant pipe.
