4.2 Important information
• Follow the detailed instructions for connecting the refrigerant pipes to the indoor unit and outdoor
unit. We can only provide a warranty if the lines are installed correctly as described in the
instructions.
• Do not remove the sealing caps and stoppers until immediately before you install the lines.
• To prevent leaks, ensure that the quick release screw connections are absolutely free of dirt.
Moisture or foreign bodies will adversely affect the function of the quick release connectors, leading
to a risk of refrigerant loss (not covered by the warranty).
• Only install refrigerant lines outdoors in dry weather.
• The refrigerant lines must not be installed and then plastered over.
• Please make sure that refrigerant is never allowed to enter the environment. lmproper handling
of refrigerant may be harmful to health. Always wear work gloves and goggles when
handling refrigerant.
• Do not smoke during the installation work. The equipment must never be operated without the
refrigerant lines connected, otherwise the equipmentwill be damaged immediately.
• The screw connections may only be tightened using the appropriate open-ended spanner.

with too much torque, the screw connections may suffer damage. lf you should not be confident
about connecting the refrigerant line connectors yourself, it is imperative that you contact your
customer service team or a refrigeration contractor.
IMPORTANT: The EQ valves are only designed for one-time installation. Their seal can not be guaranteed if
they are installed on more than one occasion. This will also void the warranty.
