• The air in the indoor unit and in the pipe must be purged. If air remains in the refrigeration pipes, it will affect
the compressor, reduce to cooling capacity and could lead to a malfunction. Refrigerant for air purging is not
charged in the outdoor unit. Use Vacuum Pump as shown at the right figure. Each unit must be purged in turn.

1. Check the piping connections.
2. Connect the charging hose of low pressure side of manifold gauge to the
packed valve having a service port (3/8" service valve) as shown at the
figure.
3. Open the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge counter-
clockwise.
4. Purge the air from the system using vacuum pump for about 10 minutes.
