1. Disposal of equipment using flammable refrigerants

See national regulations.

1. Storage of equipment/appliances

The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

1. Storage of packed (unsold) equipment

Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical damage to the equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge. The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will be determined by local regulations.

1. Information on servicing

1) Checks to the area

Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

2) Work procedure

Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.

3) General work area

All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

WARNING

4) Checking for presence of refrigerant

The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerating detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

5) Presence of fire extinguisher

If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO_2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

6) No ignition sources

No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigerating system which involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking signs shall be displayed.

7) Ventilated area

Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

8) Checks to the refrigerating equipment

Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specifications. At all times the manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants: the actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed; the ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed; if an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant; marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible.

Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected; and refrigerating pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.

9) Checks to electrical devices

Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised. Initial safety checks shall include: That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking; that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system; that there is continuity of earth bonding.

WARNING

7.Sealed electrical components shall be replaced.

1) During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
2) Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is affected. Check for damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely. Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.

8. Intrinsically safe components must be replaced.

Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.

9. Cabling

Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

10. Detection of flammable refrigerants

Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/ extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to Removal and evacuation.

11. Removal and evacuation

When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs—or for any other purpose - conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:

-Safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;

-Evacuate;

-Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);

-Evacuate (optional for A2L);

-continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; and

-open the circuit.

The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen flammable refrigerants. This process might compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems.

WARNING

For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. The outlet for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources, and ventilation shall be available.

12. Charging procedures

In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed. Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them. Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions. Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant. Label the system when charging is complete (if not already). Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system. Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.

13.Decommissioning

Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.

a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that: Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly; the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person; recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

14. Labelling

Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

WARNING

15.Recovery

When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs. The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition.

The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The compressor body shall not be heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

DIRECT UNIT MOUNTING

The previous directions are the preferable way to mount the new rear grille. The unit's performance is slightly better and the possibility of drafts is reduced. As a last resort, direct mounting of the grille to the unit can be considered.

NOTE: The grille must be installed prior to inserting the unit into the sleeve.

1. Attach the 2 seal pieces (1" x 3/8" x 14") as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Position the grille over the rear of the unit making sure that:

a. The double set of screw holes are at the bottom.

b. The fins of the grille are pointed away from the unit.

1. Align the top of the grille with the top of the unit and ensure that the overhang on each side is equal.
2. If the unit has not been pre-drilled (some models), carefully drill 4-1/8" holes through the grille and into the side flange of the unit approximately 1½" to 2" from the top and bottom as in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. (Be careful not to drill into copper heat exchanger coils).
3. Install 4- #8 self tapping screws to affix the grille to the unit.
4. Insert the unit into the sleeve.

NORMAL SOUNDS

HIGH PITCHED CHATTER High efficiency compressors may have a high pitched chatter during the cooling cycle. VIBRATION Unit may vibrate and make noise because of poor wall construction or incorrect installation. This DOES NOT indicate a defective unit. SOUND OF RUSHING AIR At the front of the unit, the sound of rushing air being moved by the fan may be heard. GURGLE/HISS "Gurgling" or "hissing" noise may be heard due to refrigerant passing through evaporator during normal operation. PINGING OR SWITCHING Droplets of water hitting condenser during normal operation may cause "pinging" or "switching" sounds.

NOTE: All of the pictures in this manual are for explanatory purposes only. The actual shape/look of the air conditioner purchased may be slightly different, but the operations and functions are similar.

AIR CONDITIONER FEATURES

Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the control panel shown below and all of its functions. Afterwards, follow the symbol for the functions you desire BEFORE operating the unit. This unit can be controlled by the unit control or the remote control.

Press the ENERGY SAVER button to initiate this function. This function is available on COOL, DRY and AUTO (only AUTO-COOLING and AUTO-FAN) modes. In this mode, the fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes, at 10 minute intervals, until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on and cooling starts.

▶ FOLLOW ME FEATURE:

This feature can ONLY be activated from the remote control. The remote control serves as a remote thermostat allowing for precise temperature control at its location.

To activate the Follow Me feature, point the remote control toward the unit and press the FOLLOW ME button. The remote displays the actual temperature at its location. The remote control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes until the FOLLOW ME button is pressed again. If the unit does not receive the Follow Me signal during any 7 minute interval, the unit will beep to indicate use of the Follow Me feature has ended. The actual temperature can be displayed at the unit by pressing the FAN only mode. When in the COOL mode, the unit display indicates the set temperature.

▶ TO SELECT THE OPERATING MODE:

To choose operating mode, press the MODE button. Each time you press the button, a mode is selected in a sequence that goes from AUTO, COOL, DRY, and FAN. The indicator light will be illuminated and remain on once the mode is selected. The unit will automatically initiate the Energy Saver function under COOL, DRY, and AUTO (only AUTO-COOLING and AUTO-FAN) modes.

TO OPERATE AUTO FEATURE:

When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically around the temperature you set. In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted. It starts automatically at a speed according to the room temperature.

TO OPERATE FAN ONLY:

Use this function (☒) only when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air. You can choose any fan speed you prefer. During this function, the display will show the actual room temperature, not the set temperature as in the cooling mode. Temperature cannot be adjusted in FAN only mode.

TO OPERATE ON DRY MODE:

In this mode, the air conditioner will reduce air humidity. If the space is a closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling will continue.

Center Handles

▶ ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

• The Cool circuit has an automatic 3 minute time-delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. After unit is turned off, leave the unit off for a minimum of 3 minutes before attempting to turn back on. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.
• The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the other, press and hold the left and right TEMP/TIMER buttons (▲ and ▼) at the same time for 3 seconds.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION

Clean air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking and operating like new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

▶ AIR FILTER CLEANING

The air filter should be cleaned at least every two weeks or as necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
