Troubleshooting
If the air conditioner operates abnormally, refer to the following chart to save time and unnecessary expenses.
| Problem Solution | |
| The air conditioner does not work at all. | Check the power status, then operate the air conditioner again.Switch on the circuit breaker, plug in the power cord, then operate the air conditioner again.Make sure that the isolator is turned on.Check whether the Timed off function is running. Operate the air conditioner again by pressing the Power button. |
| I cannot change the temperature. | Check whether the Fan or Fast mode is running. In these modes, the air conditioner controls the set temperature automatically, and you cannot change the set temperature. |
| Cool air does not come out of the air conditioner. | Check whether the set temperature is higher in the Cool mode than the current temperature. Press the Temperature button on the remote control to change the set temperature.Check whether the air filter is blocked with dirt. If the air filter is blocked, the cooling performance may decrease. Remove dirt regularly.Check whether the outdoor unit is covered or installed near obstacles. Remove the coverings and obstacles.Check whether doors or windows are open. This may cause poor cooling performance. Close the doors and windows.Check whether the air conditioner is turned on immediately after the cooling operation stops.

Step 1.4 Drilling a hole through the wall
Before fixing the installation plate to a wall and then fixing the indoor unit to the installation plate, a window frame, or a gypsum board, you must determine the position of a hole (with 65 mm inner diameter) through which the pipe bundle (consisting of power and communication cables, refrigerant pipes, and drain hose) will pass and then drill that hole.
1 Determine the position of a 65 mm hole in consideration of the possible directions of the pipe bundle and the minimum distances between the hole and the installation plate.
CAUTION
- If changing the pipe direction from left to right, do not drastically bent it but slowly turn it in the opposite direction as shown. Otherwise, the pipe may be damaged in the process.
2 Drill the hole.
CAUTION
- Be sure to drill only one hole.
• Make sure that the hole slants downwards so that the drain hose slants downwards to drain water well.
Step 1.5 Taping the pipes, cables, and drain hose
1 Wrap foam insulation on parts without insulation on the ends of the refrigerant pipes, as shown in the figure. This wrapping minimises condensation problem.
2 Wind the refrigerant pipes, power cable, communication cable and drain hose with vinyl tape to make a pipe bundle.

Step 2.5 Optional: Changing the direction of the drain hose
CAUTION
- Make sure that the indoor unit is in upright position when you pour water to check for leakage. Make sure that the water does not overflow onto the electrical part.
Step 2.6 Installing and connecting the assembly pipes to the refrigerant pipes (assembly pipe)
Connect indoor and outdoor units with field-supplied copper pipes by means of flare connections. Use insulated seamless refrigeration grade pipe only, (Cu DHP type according to ISO1337), degreased and deoxidized, suitable for operating pressures of at least 4200 kPa and for burst pressure of at least 20700 kPa. Under no circumstances must sanitary type copper pipe be used.
There are 2 refrigerant pipes of different diameters:
• The smaller one is for the liquid refrigerant
• The larger one is for the gas refrigerant
A short liquid refrigerant pipe and a short gas refrigerant pipe are already fitted to the air conditioner. The connection procedure for the refrigerant pipes varies according to the exit position of each pipe when facing the wall:
1 Cut out the appropriate knock-out piece (A, B, C) on the rear of the indoor unit unless you connect the pipe directly from the rear.
2 Smooth the cut edges.
3 Remove the protection caps of the pipes and connect the assembly pipe to each pipe. Tighten the nuts first with your hands, and then with a torque wrench, applying the following torque:
| Outer diameter (mm) | Torque (N·m) | Torque (kgf·cm) |
| ø 6.35 14 to 18 | 140 to 180 | |
| ø 9.52 34 to 42 | 350 to 430 | |
| ø 12.70 49 to 61 | 500 to 620 | |
| ø 15.88 68 to 82 | 690 to 830 |
NOTE
- If you want to shorten or extend the pipes, see Step 2.7 Shortening or extending the refrigerant pipes (assembly pipe) on page 38.
4 Cut off the remaining foam insulation.
5 If necessary, bend the pipe to fit along the bottom of the indoor unit. Then pull it out through the appropriate hole.
- The pipe should not project from the rear of the indoor unit.
• The bending radius should be 100 mm or more.
6 Pass the pipe through the hole in the wall.
NOTE
- The pipe will be insulated and fixed permanently into position after finishing the installation and the gas leak test. For further details, see Step 4.1 Performing the gas leak tests on page 44.
CAUTION
- Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench according to specified method. If the flare nut is over-tightened, the flare may break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.
- Do not box in or cover the pipe connection. All refrigerant pipe connection must be easily accessible and serviceable.

| ø 12.70 | 49 to 61 500 to 620 | |
| ø 15.88 | 68 to 82 690 to 830 | |
CAUTION
- If you need a pipe longer than specified in piping codes and standards, you must add refrigerant to the pipe. Otherwise, the indoor unit may freeze.
- While removing burrs, put the pipe face down to make sure that the burrs do not get in to the pipe.
NOTE
- Excessive torque may cause gas leakage. When extending the pipe with welding or brazing, ensure that nitrogen is used during the welding or brazing process. The joint must be accessible and serviceable.
CAUTION
- Tighten the flare nut at the specified torque. If the flare nut is over-tightened, it may break to cause leakage of refrigerant gas.
Step 2.8 Fixing the installation plate
You can install the indoor unit on a wall, window frame, or gypsum board.
WARNING
- Make sure that the wall, window frame, or gypsum board can withstand the weight of the indoor unit. If you install the indoor unit in a place where it is not strong enough to withstand the unit's weight, the unit could fall and cause injury.
When fixing the indoor unit on a wall
Fix the installation plate to the wall giving attention to the weight of the indoor unit.
NOTE
- If you mount the plate to a concrete wall using plastic anchors, make sure that gaps between the wall and the plate, created by projected anchor, is less than 20 mm.
When fixing the indoor unit on a window frame
1 Determine the positions of the wooden uprights to be attached to the window frame.
2 Attach the wooden uprights to the window frame giving attention to the weight of the indoor unit.
3 Attach the installation plate to the wooden upright using tapping screws.
When fixing the indoor unit on a gypsum board
1 Use stud finder to find out locations of the studs.
2 Fix the plate hanger on two studs.
CAUTION
- If you fix the indoor unit on a gypsum board, use only specified anchor bolts on reference positions. Otherwise, the gypsum surrounding the joints may crumble over time and cause the screws to be loosened and stripped. This may lead to physical injury or equipment damage.
- Search for other spots if there are less than two studs, or the distance between the studs are different from the plate hanger.
• Fix the installation plate without inclining to one side.
Outdoor Unit Installation
Step 3.1 Fixing the outdoor unit in place
1 Place the outdoor unit as directed on the top of the unit to let the discharged air out properly.
2 Fix the outdoor unit in level to an appropriate support using anchor bolts.
NOTE
- Secure the rubber legs to help prevent the generation of noise and vibration.
- If the outdoor unit is exposed to strong winds, install shield plates around the outdoor unit so that the fan can operate correctly.
Optional: Fixing the outdoor unit to a wall with a rack
NOTE
• Make sure that the wall can support the weights of the rack and the outdoor unit.
• Install the rack close to the column as much as possible.
Step 3.2 Connecting the cables and the refrigerant pipes
CAUTION
- Be sure to fix the power cables and communication cable with a cable clamp.

D --> E["Liquid service port <High pressure"]
E --> F["Connect the gas and liquid refrigerant pipes"]
Step 3.3 Evacuating the air
The outdoor unit is loaded with sufficient R-22 refrigerant. You should evacuate the air in the indoor unit and in the pipe. If air remains in the refrigerant pipes, it affects the compressor. It may cause reduction of cooling capacity and malfunction. Use a vacuum pump.
CAUTION
- When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When recovering the refrigerant, ground the compressor first before removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor works with the stop 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.
1 Leave the system in the standby mode.
WARNING
- Do not turn on the system! This is necessary for better vacuum operation (full OPEN position of Electronic Expansion Valve).
2 Connect the charging hose of the low pressure side of manifold gauge to a gas service port as seen in the picture.

3 Open the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge anticlockwise.
4 Evacuate the air in the connected pipes using the vacuum pump for about 15 minutes.
- Make sure that pressure gauge shows -0.1 MPa (-76 cmHg, 5 torr) after about 10 minutes. This procedure is very important to avoid a gas leak.
- Close the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge clockwise.
- Turn off the vacuum pump.
- Check for 2 minutes if there is any pressure change.
- Remove the hose of the low pressure side of manifold gauge.
5 Set a valve cork of liquid and gas service port to the open position.
Step 3.4 Adding refrigerant
If you use a pipe longer than the length specified in the piping codes and standards, you must add 10 g ( 09/12 ) and 20 g( 18/24 ) of refrigerant R-22 for each extra meter. If you use a pipe shorter than the length specified in the piping codes and standards, the evacuating time is normal. Refer to the Service Manual for further details.
CAUTION
- The remaining air in the Refrigeration cycle, which contains moisture, may cause malfunction on the compressor.
• Always contact the service centre or a professional installation agency for product installation.
Installation Inspection
Step 4.1 Performing the gas leak tests
1 Before inspecting the leakage, use a torque wrench to close the cap for the stop valve. (Comply with a tightening torque for each size of the diameter, and tighten the cap firmly to prevent any leakage.)
Tightening torque for charging port cap (Refer to the table)
| Outer diameter (mm) | Tightening torque | |
