Safety Precautions

WARNING

This appliance is filled with R32 (mildly flammable refrigerant). If the refrigerant is leaked and exposed to an external ignition source, there is a risk of fi re.

Indoor unit and outdoor unit

The appliance shall be installed, and/or operated in a room with fl oor area larger than Amin (m²) and keep away from ignition sources, such as heat/sparks/open flame or hazardous areas such as gas appliances, gas cooking, reticulated gas supply systems or electric cooking appliances, etc. (Refer to Table A of Installation instructions table for Amin (m²)) Be aware that refrigerant may not contain an odour, highly recommended to ensure suitable flammable refrigerant gas detectors are present, operating and able to warn of a leak. Keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

Do not pierce or burn as the appliance is pressurized. Do not expose the appliance to heat, fl ame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Else it may explode and cause injury or death.

Precaution for using R32 refrigerant

The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R410A, R22) models.
Since the working pressure is higher than that of refrigerant R22 models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special. Especially, when replacing a refrigerant R22 model with a new refrigerant R32 model, always replace the conventional piping and flare nuts with the R32 and R410A piping and flare nuts on the outdoor unit side. For R32 and R410A, the same flare nut on the outdoor unit side and pipe can be used. The mixing of different refrigerants within a system is prohibited. Models that use refrigerant R32 and R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with refrigerant R22 and for safety. Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R32 and R410A is 1/2 inch.]

• Must always ensure that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping. Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the opening by pinching, taping, etc. (Handling of R32 is similar to R410A.)
