TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions below:
- Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more electricity. (Recommended 24°C is suitable for human body)
- Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
- Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
- Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
- Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
- Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner is used for many hours.
- Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions. (Refer page no. 21 and 22 owner's manual)

text_image
Seal a small opening around the pipings with gum type sealer. Trap TrapAIR PURGING
Air purging
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below.
■ Pressure in the system rises.
- Operating current rises.
■ Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
■ Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
■ Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.
Air purging with vacuum pump

Preparation
Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the service valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Note that both the liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.

Leak test
■ Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with charge hoses.
CAUTION
Be sure to use a manifold valve for air purging. If it is not available, use a stop valve for this purpose. The "Hi" knob of the manifold valve must always be kept close.
Pressurize the system to no more than 150 P.S.I.G. with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reached 150 P.S.I.G. Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.
CAUTION
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than its bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
Do a leak test of all joints of the tubing(both indoor and outdoor) and both gas and liquid side service valves. Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a clean cloth.
After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.

Indoor unit Outdoor unit Manifold valve Pressure gauge Lo Hi Charge hose Nitrogen gas cylinder(in vertical standing position)AIR PURGING
Soap water method
(1) Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves.
(2) Remove the service-port cap from the 3-way valves.
(3) To open the 2-way valve turn the valve stem counterclockwise approximately 90°, wait for about 2\~3 sec, and close it.
(4) Apply a soap water or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connection or outdoor unit connections by a soft brush to check for leakage of the connecting points of the piping.
(5) If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage.

Evacuation
Connect the charge hose end described in the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and indoor unit. Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve is open. Then, run the vacuum pump. The operation time for evacuation varies with tubing length and capacity of the pump. The following table shows the time required for evacuation.
| Required time for evacuation when 30 gal/h vacuum pump is used | |
| If tubing length is less than 10m (33 ft) | If tubing length is longer than 10m (33 ft) |
| 10 min. or more 15 | min. or more |
When the desired vacuum is reached, close the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve and stop the vacuum pump.

Finishing the job
With a service valve wrench, turn the valve stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
■ Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
■ Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side service port slightly to release the pressure, then remove the hose.
- Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas side service port and fasten the flare nut securely with an adjustable wrench. This process is very important to prevent leakage from the system.
- Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side service valves and fasten them tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.

B Settlement of outdoor unit
Anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut 10mm ) tightly and horizontally on a concrete or rigid mount.
When installing on the wall, roof or rooftop, anchor the mounting base securely with a nail or wire assuming the influence of wind and earthquake.
In the case when the vibration of the unit is conveyed to the hose, secure the unit with an anti-vibration rubber.

Bolt Tubing connectionC Evaluation of the performance
Operate unit for 15\~20 minutes, then check the system refrigerant charge:
- Measure the pressure of the gas side service valve.
-
Measure the temperature of the intake and discharge of air.
-
Ensure the difference between the intake temperature and the discharge is more than 8^ C (Cooling) or reversely (Heating).

Intake temperature Discharge air Discharge temperature- For reference; the gas side pressure of optimum condition is as below.(Cooling)
| Outside ambient TEMP. | The pressure of the gas side service valve |
| 35°C(95°F) | 4~5kg/cm2 G(56.8~71.0 P.S.I.G. |
NOTE: If the actual pressure are higher than shown, the system is most likely over-charged, and charge should be removed. If the actual pressure are lower than shown, the system is most likely undercharged, and charge should be added The air conditioner is now ready for use.
PUMP DOWN
This is performed when the unit is to be relocated or the refrigerant circuit is serviced.
Pump Down means collecting all refrigerant in the outdoor unit without loss in refrigerant gas.
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform Pump Down procedure with the unit cooling mode.
Pump Down Procedure
- Connect a low-pressure gauge mainifold hose to the charge port on the gas side service valve.
- Open the gas side service valve halfway and purge the air from the manifold hose using the refrigerant gas.
- Close the liquid side service valve(all the way in).
- Turn on the unit's operating switch and start the cooling operation.
- When the low-pressure gauge reading becomes 1 to 0.5kg/cm^2G(14.2 to 7.1 P.S.I.G.), fully close the gas side valve stem and then quickly turn off the unit. At that time, Pump Down has been completed and all refrigerant gas will have been collected in the outdoor unit.
