Installation Instructions 14 Start Up Open up the Bosch EasyAir app and "Add a New Unit". The app will prompt you to scan the outdoor unit Serial Number and Gateway QR code. 14.1 System Start Up Ensure Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 have been completed.
15.2 Subcooling Charging And Refrigerant Adjustment In Cooling (Above 55°F Outdoor Temp.) Check the outdoor ambient temperatures. Download and install the Bosch EasyAir app to assist in charging the unit. Subcooling (in cooling mode) is the only recommended method of charging above 55ºF outdoor ambient temperatures.
