EVACUATING
Heat insulation
1. Provide heat insulation on the refrigerant piping on
both the liquid side and gas side separately, and
ensure that all joints in the insulation are completely
sealed (without gap).
2. Since the temperature of the piping on the gas side
increases during heating operations, the heat
insulating material used must be able to withstand
temperatures of more than 120°C.
3. Use the pipe insulation supplied in the accessory
pack to insulate the piping connecting section on the
indoor unit side.
Packed v alve handling precautions
• Open the valve stem all the way out; do not try to

• As shown in the figure, be sure to use a double
spanner to loosen or tighten the flare nut of the valve
at gas side. If using a single spanner, the nut cannot
be tightened with necessary tightening torque.
