While heating, ice may accumulate. During the process of defrosting, check if condensation draining is adequate. For adequate
draining, do the following:
The outdoor unit is loaded with
R410A refrigerant.
Do not vent R410A into atmosphere: it is a
greenhouse gas, covered by Kyoto Protocol, with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) = 1975.
It may cause reduction of cooling capacity and malfunction. Refrigerant for air purging is not charged in the outdoor unit.
Use Vacuum Pump as seen in the picture.
1. Insert the drain plug into the drain hole on the underside of the outdoor unit.
1. Connect each assembly pipe to the appropriate valve on the outdoor unit and
2.
applying the following torque:
2. Connect a drain hose to the drain plug.
3. Ensure that condensation draining is adequate.

•
To avoid drain plug from contacting the ground, secure gap between the
ground and the bottom surface of the outdoor unit.
•
In areas with heavy snow fall, piled snow could block the air intake.
To avoid this incident, install a frame that is higher than estimated snow
fall. In addition, install a snow-proof hood to avoid snow from piling on the
outdoor unit.
•
When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When recovering the refrigerant, ground the compressor
before removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor works
with the service 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.

Excessive torque can be cause of gas leakage.
•
Make the electrical connection and leave the system into “stand by
mode”. Do not turn on the system!
This is necessary for better vacuum operation (full OPEN position of
Electronic Expansion Valve - EEV -).
If using a multi system, install as described in the installation manual supplied with the outdoor unit.
