Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water. Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an authorized service representative or a qualified air conditioning engineer. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.
OPERATION COOLING MODE The compressor (6) in the external unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high- pressure gas. When this gas flows along the cooling fins of the condenser (7), heat is exuded and the gas condenses into a liquid, which is then led to the evaporator (1) in the indoor unit. The liquid expands into a gas at a low temperature and low pressure.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THE INDOOR UNIT INSTALLING THE REAR PANEL 1. Always mount the rear panel horizontally. Due to the water tray within the indoor unit we would advise that the outlet of the water tray should be fractionally lower when installing as this will aid drainage of the condensate collected.
Notes: 1. The height of the installed unit is recommended to be > 200 cm. Either the indoor unit or the outdoor unit can be higher, but the height difference must comply with a max. 5 metres level difference. 3. Try to avoid bending the pipes as much as possible so as to avoid possible negative impacts upon the performances of the unit.

STANDARD PIPELINES CONNECTION & AIR PURGING No dust or any other particles, air or moisture should be allowed to enter the air conditioning system. Careful attention should be paid when pipeline connection for outdoor unit is made. Try to avoid repeated curves as much as possible; otherwise damage to the copper pipes may occur. Suitable wrenches should be used when the pipeline connection is done so as to ensure appropriate torque (refer to following torque table).
ADDING REFRIGERANT Refrigerant must be added if the pipe length is more than 5 metres (16'5"). This operation can only be performed by a professional F-Gas engineer, for the additional gas amount, see the below Liquid pipe Additional Additional Refrigerant diameter Refrigerant Φ6.3 or Φ6 (1/4)

NOTES: The copper pipe used in the refrigeration lines are very soft, high pressure copper and prone to get damaged if not handled correctly. Try to avoid bending or stretching the pipework. Always use the pipe’s foam protectors and the plastic ring before putting the pipes through the wall.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER The electrical connections can be found under the protective plastic cover. Remove this from the side of the outdoor unit to gain access to the electrical connections. Connect the indoor power and control wires with the matching outdoor wire as per the electrical diagram.
