Use the specified refrigerant only Never use any refrigerant other than that specified. Doing so may cause a burst, an explosion, or fire when the unit is being used, serviced, or disposed of. Correct refrigerant is specified in the manuals and on the spec labels provided with our products. We will not be held responsible for mechanical failure, system malfunction, unit breakdown or accidents caused by failure to follow the instructions.
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS FOR UNITS USING REFRIGERANT R32 Servicing precautions for units using refrigerant R32 WARNING This unit uses a flammable refrigerant. If refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with fire or heating part, it will create harmful gas and there is risk of fire. Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

5. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. 6. Leak Detection Methods Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of flammable refrigerants, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need recalibration.

Page 37
G Check of outdoor thermistors Disconnect the connector of thermistor in the inverter P.C. board (see below table), and measure the resistance of thermistor. Replace the thermistor except RT64. Is the resistance of thermistor normal? When RT64 is abnormal, replace the (Refer to 12-6.1.) inverter P.C.
Page 38
H Check of R.V. coil MUZ-RW25/35VGHZ * First of all, measure the resistance of R.V. coil to check if the coil is defective. Refer to 12-4. * In case CN721 is disconnected or R.V. coil is open, voltage is generated between the terminal pins of the connector although no signal is being transmitted to R.V.
Page 39
I Check of outdoor fan motor Disconnect the connectors CN931 and CN932 from the inverter P.C. board. Check the connection between the connector CN931 and CN932. Is the resistance between each terminal of outdoor fan motor normal? (Refer to 12-4.) Disconnect CN932 from the inverter P.C.

Page 42
L Check of inverter P.C. board Check the outdoor fan motor. (Refer to 12-5. .) Is the fuse (F901) blown on the inverter P.C. board? Check the connection of the connectors (CN931, CN932) of the outdoor fan motor. If the connection is poor, make it correct. Operate the outdoor unit by starting EMERGENCY OPERATION.
Page 43
M How to check miswiring and serial signal error Turn OFF the power supply. Is there rated voltage in the power supply? Check the power supply. Check for incorrect indoor-outdoor connecting wiring. Was the indoor unit ever connected to the Multi (MXZ) series and operated (turned on)? The connection information to the Multi series is stored in the indoor unit.
Page 44
N Check of the outdoor refrigerant circuit The operation has stopped to prevent the diesel explosion Has the operation stopped during pump down? caused by air trapped in the refrigerant circuit. Close the stop valve, and disconnect the power plug or turn the breaker OFF. CAUTION: Do not start the operation again to prevent hazards.
