Purging the indoor unit

The indoor unit is supplied with inert gas (nitrogen).
If this one isn't true, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT since leakage could be inside the indoor unit.
1. Unscrew the caps at the end of each pipe.
All inert gas exhausts from the indoor unit.

• To prevent dirt or foreign substances from getting into the pipes during
installation, do NOT remove the caps completely until you are ready to
connect the pipes.
• The remaining air in the Refrigeration cycle, which contains moisture,
may cause malfunction on the compressor.
• Always contact the service center or a professional installation agency
for product installation.

The length of the pipe can be:
• Extended up to : see table page 23

If you need a pipe longer than 5 meters:
