Connecting the refrigerant pipes

• Use pipes with thickness 0.8mm.
• Connect the pipes for the indoor unit first
and then for the outdoor unit.
• Bend the pipes carefully as not to damage
them.
• Do not over tighten the tubes; it may be
deformed or damaged.
Use a torque wrench, when possible. See
the table below for the flare nut tightening
torque.
16±2N·m (1.6±0.2kgf·m)
38±4N·m (3.8±0.4kgf·m)
Allow no cuttings in the pipe.
