The outdoor unit is loaded with sufficient R410A refrigerant for 5 metres
of piping. The air in the indoor unit and in the pipe must be purged.
If air remains in the refrigeration pipes, it will affect the compressor, reduce to
cooling/heating capacity and could lead to a malfunction.
Refrigerant for air purging is not charged in the outdoor unit.
Use Vacuum Pump as shown at the figure.

(liquid) Adding Refrigerant
You must add refrigerant if the pipe is longer than 5 meters.
Refer to the Service Manual for further details.
Connect each assembly pipe to the appropriate valve on the outdoor unit
and tighten the flare nut.
Referring to the illustration opposite, tighten the flare nut first manually and
then with a torque wrench, applying the following torque.

Connect the charging hose of low pressure side of manifold gauge to the
packed valve having a service port as shown at the figure.
Open the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge
counterclockwise.
Purge the air from the system using vacuum pump for about 10 minutes.
- Close the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge clockwise.
- Make sure that pressure gauge show -0.1MPa(-76cmHg) after about
- 10minutes.
- This procedure is very important in order to avoid gas leak.
- Turn off the vacuum pump
- Remove the hose of the low pressure side of manifold gauge.
Set valve cork of both liquid side and gas side of packed valve to the open
position.
Mount the valve stem nuts and the service port cap to the valve, and
tighten them at the torque of 183kgf•cm with a torque wrench.
Check for gas leakage.
- At this time, especially check for gas leakage from the 3-way valve's
stem nuts, and from the service port cap.
If you use a pipe...
longer than 5 meters,
shorter than 5 meters,
Torque (kgf•cm)
140~170
250~280
380~420
Then...
15g of refrigerant R410A must
be added for each extra metre.
The purge time is normal.
