[1] Warning for service (1) Do not alter the unit. (2) For installation and relocation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use tools and pipe components specifi cally made for use with refrigerant specifi ed in the outdoor unit installation manual. (3) Ask a dealer or an authorized technician to install, relocate and repair the unit.
[2] Cautions for service (1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely. (2) Do not release refrigerant in the air. (3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant. (4) If moisture or foreign matter might have entered the refrigerant piping during service, ensure to remove them. [3] Additional refrigerant charge When charging directly from cylinder (1) Check that cylinder for R454B on the market is a syphon type.
