3) Remove the metal hose mounts.
How to reconnect the quick-fit couplings
To reconnect the quick-fit couplings, repeat
the previous operations in reserve, taking the
following precautions:
•
Before passing the sheath through the
hole in the wall, you should protect the
threaded ends of the quick-fit couplings
with insulating tape or similar.
•
Fit the two refrigerant couplings together,
making sure they are perpendicular with
respect to the appliance. Screw them up
a couple of turns by hand to make sure
they fit together correctly, then tighten
using the spanners used previously.
•
After connecting the two refrigerant cou-
plings, fix the two metal mounts.
•
Check the tightness of the refrigerant cou-
plings by moistening the junctions with a
little soapy water.
No soap bubbles should form.
INTERNAL UNIT
Install the internal unit in the room to be air
conditioned. It should usually be beneath a
window or in any case near an outside wall.
The internal unit must be level. The air intake
and outlet grilles of the internal unit must
always be kept free.
EXTERNAL UNIT
1) The external unit can be stood on a terra-
ce or balcony. In this case, it is not neces-
sary to use the mounts.
4) Remove the rubber insulation around the
connection.
5) Use the two spanners supplied to uncou-
ple the two hoses.
6) Screw the caps provided onto both the
disconnected parts.
7) Disconnect the condensate drain hose
carefully as water may leak out.
Important
You are recommended to have the quick-fit
couplings disconnected and reconnected
by a qualified professional.
WARNING
To avoid leaks of refrigerant while disconnec-
ting and reconnecting the quick-fit couplings,
make sure the hoses are perpendicular with
respect to the appliance.
Important
Make sure the external unit water drain hose
is free from kinks or obstructions.
