Step 3.3 Evacuating the air
The outdoor unit is loaded with sufficient R-410A
refrigerant. Do not vent R-410A into atmosphere: it is a
fluorinated greenhouse gas, covered by Kyoto Protocol,
with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 2088. You
should evacuate the air in the indoor unit and in the
pipe. If air remains in the refrigerant pipes, it affects the
compressor. It may cause reduction of cooling capacity
and malfunction. Use a vacuum pump.
CAUTION
•When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When
recovering the refrigerant, ground the compressor
first before removing the connection pipe. If the
refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the
compressor works with the stop valve open, the pipe
inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of
the refrigerant cycle abnormally high. It may cause
explosion and injury.
1 Leave the system in the standby mode.
WARNING
•Do not turn on the system! This is necessary for
better vacuum operation (full OPEN position of
Electronic Expansion Valve).
2 Connect the charging hose of the low pressure side
of manifold gauge to a gas service port as seen in the
picture.

4 Evacuate the air in the connected pipes using the
vacuum pump for about 15 minutes.
•Make sure that pressure gauge shows -0.1 MPa
(-76 cmHg, 5 torr) after about 10 minutes. This
procedure is very important to avoid a gas leak.
•Close the valve of the low pressure side of manifold
gauge clockwise.
•Turn off the vacuum pump.
•Check for 2 minutes if there is any pressure change.
•Remove the hose of the low pressure side of
manifold gauge.
5 Set a valve cork of liquid and gas service port to the
open position.
Step 3.4 Adding refrigerant
If you use a pipe longer than the length specified in
the piping codes and standards, you must add 10g
(for ✴✴09/10✴✴) and 15g (for ✴✴12/13/18/24✴✴) of
refrigerant R-410A for each extra metre. If you use a pipe
shorter than the length specified in the piping codes and
standards, the evacuating time is normal. Refer to the
Service Manual for further details.

contains moisture, may cause malfunction of the
compressor.
•Always contact the service centre or a professional
installation agency for product installation.
R-410A is a mixed type of refrigerant. It is necessary for
recharging under conditions of liquid. When recharging
refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the
equipment, take the following instructions:
Before recharging, check whether the cylinder has
a siphon or not. There are two ways to recharge the
refrigerant:
Siphon
Charge the refrigerant standing
the cylinder upright.
Charge the refrigerant turning
the cylinder upside down.
<Cylinder with siphon> <Cylinder without siphon>
NOTE
•If R-410A refrigerant is charged with gas, the
composition of the charged refrigerant changes and
the characteristics of the equipment vary.
• During the measuring operation of
refrigerant quantity added, use electronic scales. If
cylinder doesn't have siphon, upset it.

check the following:
• The indicator on the indoor unit lights up.
• The airflow blade opens and the fan gears up for
operation.
3 Press the (Mode) button to select Cool mode. Then
take the following sub-steps:
• In Cool mode, use the Temperature button to set the set
temperature to 16 °C.
• Check whether, approximately 3 to 5 minutes later, the
outdoor unit starts, and a cool air blows out.
• After 12 minutes of stationary condition, check the
indoor unit air treatment.
4 Press the (Air swing) button to check whether the
airflow blades work properly.
5 Press the (Power) button to stop the trial operation.
Pumping down refrigerant
Pump-down is an operation intended to collect all the
system refrigerant in the outdoor unit. This operation must
be carried out before disconnecting the refrigerant tubing in
order to avoid refrigerant loss to the atmosphere.
1 Shut off the liquid valve with the Allen wrench.
2 Turn on the air conditioner in cooling with fan operating at
high velocity. (Compressor will immediately start, provided
3 minutes have elapsed since the last stop.)
3 After 2 minutes of operation, shut the suction valve with
the same wrench.
4 Turn off the air conditioner and switch mains supply off.
5 Disconnect tubing. After disconnection, protect valves and
tubing ends from dust.
CAUTION
• Compressor damage may occur if the compressor is run at
a negative suction pressure.
Pumping down for removing the product
1 Hold down the (Power) button on the indoor unit for
5 seconds. Beep sounds immediately to indicate that the
product is ready for pump down procedure.
2 Let the compressor run for more than 5 minutes.
3 Release the valve caps on High and Low pressure side.
4 Use L-wrench to close the valve on the high pressure side.
5 After approximately 1 minute, close the valve on the low
pressure side.
6 Stop operation of the air conditioner by pressing the
(Power) button on the indoor unit or remote control.
