Repairing Refrigerant Leaks
WARNING
•
If the refrigerant leaks, isolate the air conditioner and any combusti-
ble heating devices, ventilate the room and call qualified personnel
immediately. Refrigerant is both toxic and flammable.
DO NOT
use
the air conditioner until the leak is repaired.
•
When the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must
be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration from exceeding
the safety limit in the event of refrigerant leakage. Concentrated
refrigerant causes a severe health and safety threat.
Refrigerant Leak Detection System (some models)
•
In the event of a refrigerant leak, the LCD screen will display “EC”
and the LED indicator light will flash.
