Split system air conditioners
4P543324-2 – 2018.08
▪ Prevent direct sunlight from entering a room during cooling
operation by using curtains or blinds.
▪ Ventilate often. Extended use requires special attention to
ventilation.
▪ Keep doors and windows closed. If the doors and windows remain
open, air will flow out of your room causing a decrease in the
cooling or heating effect.
▪ Be careful NOT to cool or heat too much. To save energy, keep
the temperature setting at a moderate level.
▪ NEVER place objects near the air inlet or the air outlet of the unit.
Doing so may cause a reduced heating/cooling effect or stop
operation.
▪ Turn off the main power supply switch to the unit when the unit is
NOT used for longer periods of time. If the main power supply
switch is on, the unit consumes electricity. Before restarting the
unit, turn on the main power supply switch 6 hours before
operation to ensure smooth running.
▪ When the display shows
(time to clean the air filter), clean the
filters (see
"7.4.2 To clean the air filter" on page 7
).
▪ Condensation may form if the humidity is above 80% or if the
drain outlet gets blocked.
▪ Adjust the room temperature properly for a comfortable
environment. Avoid excessive heating or cooling. Notice that it
may take some time for the room temperature to reach the set
temperature. Consider using the timer setting options.
▪ Adjust the air flow direction to avoid cool air from gathering on the
floor or warm air against the ceiling. (Up during cooling or dry
operation to the ceiling and down during heating operation.)
▪ Avoid direct air flow to room inhabitants.

Maintenance and service
7.1
Overview: Maintenance and
service
The installer has to perform a yearly maintenance.
About the refrigerant
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent
gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R32
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675
Refrigerant type: R410A
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 2087.5
NOTICE
In Europe, the
greenhouse gas emissions
of the total
refrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes CO
2
equivalent) is used to determine the maintenance intervals.
Follow the applicable legislation.
Formula to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions:
GWP value of the refrigerant × Total refrigerant charge [in
kg] / 1000
Please contact your installer for more information.
WARNING
R410A is a non-combustible refrigerant, and R32 is a
mildly flammable refrigerant; they normally don’t leak. If the
refrigerant leaks in the room and comes into contact with
fire from a burner, a heater, or a cooker, this may result in
a fire (in case of R32), or the formation of a harmful gas.
Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate the
room, and contact the dealer from where you purchased
the unit.
Do not use the unit until a service person confirms that the
part from which the refrigerant leaked has been repaired.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.
▪ Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to accelerate
the defrosting process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system is
odourless.
NOTICE
Maintenance MUST be done by an authorized installer or
service agent.
We recommend performing maintenance at least once a
year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter
maintenance intervals.
CAUTION
Before accessing terminal devices, make sure to interrupt
all power supply.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
To clean the air conditioner or air filter, be sure to stop
operation and turn all power supplies off. Otherwise, an
electric shock and injury may result.
WARNING
To prevent electric shocks or fire:
▪ Do NOT rinse the unit.
▪ Do NOT operate the unit with wet hands.
▪ Do NOT place any objects containing water on the unit.
CAUTION
After a long use, check the unit stand and fitting for
damage. If damaged, the unit may fall and result in injury.
CAUTION
Do NOT touch the heat exchanger fins. These fins are
sharp and could result in cutting injuries.
NOTICE
When cleaning the heat exchanger, make sure to remove
the switch box and fan motor. Water or detergent might
deteriorate the insulation of electronic components and
result in burnout of these components.
WARNING
Be careful with ladders when working in high places.
7.2
To clean the drain pan
Clean the drain pan so that it does NOT become clogged and dusty.
