    INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R-407C REFRIGERANT This room air conditioner adopts HFC refrigerant (R407C) which will never destroy the ozone layer. Pay attention to following points. 1 Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R407C refrigerant during storage and installation, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than HCFC (R22) refrigerant.
  • Page 4 1.Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R407C refrigerant The following tools are required for R407C refrigerant. Some R22 tools can be substituted for R407C tools. Do not use tools that are used with R22 refrigerant in order to avoid mixing oils. Description R407C tools Can R22 tools be used?
