INFORMATION ON SERVICING
* **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.
* **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.
* **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.
* **Checking for presence of refrigerant** The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant 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.
* **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
at hand.
Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
* **No ignition sources** No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration 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.
* **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.
* **Checks to the refrigeration equipment** Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the
purpose and to the correct specification.
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 charge size 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;
Refrigeration 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.
* 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
there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system; That there is continuity of earth bonding.
- REPAIRS TO SEALED COMPONENTS
* 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.
* 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. This shall include 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.
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.
-
REPAIR TO INTRINSICALLY SAFE COMPONENTS
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. -
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. -
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. -
LEAK DETECTION METHODS
* 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.
* Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.- REMOVAL AND EVACUATION
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used.
However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
* Remove refrigerant;
* Purge the circuit with inert gas;
* Evacuate;
* Purge again with inert gas;
* Open the circuit by cutting or brazing. The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders.
The system shall be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may
need to be repeated several times.
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task. Flushing shall be
achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill
until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and
finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no
refrigerant is within the system. When the final OFN charge is used, the
system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take
place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe-
work are to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition
sources and there is ventilation available.
-
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 upright.
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. -
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.
* Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
* Isolate system electrically.
* 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.
* Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
* If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
* Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
* Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
* Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
* Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
* 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.
* Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.-
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. -
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 flammable refrigerants.
* 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.
* Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release.
* Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
* The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier 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 evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers.
* Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process.
* When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control supplied with the air conditioner is the tool which allows
You to use the appliance in the most comfortable manner.
It should be handled with care and in particular:
- Keep it dry (do not clean it with water or leave it outdoors in bad weather).
- Avoid dropping or bumping it.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight.
- The remote control operates by means of an infrared beam.
- During use, there must not be any obstacle between the remote control and the air-conditioner.
- If other appliances in the room have remote controls (TV, stereo, etc…), there may be interference.
- Electronic and fluorescent lights may also interfere with transmissions between remote control and air-conditioner.
- Remove the batteries in case of prolonged disuse of the remote control.
Insertion of batteries
To insert the batteries correctly:
- Remove the batteries compartment cover (figure 14).
- Insert the batteries into the relevant compartment (figure 14). Check the polarity indicated on the bottom of the compartment .
- Close the compartment correctly.
Replacement of batteries
Always use new batteries.
The use of old or different batteries could generate malfunctioning of the
remote control.The remote control uses two dry alkaline 1.5V batteries (AAA.)
(Fig.14).
- When replacing batteries, replace both and dispose of the dead batteries in the appropriate collection centres and as required by law.
- If the remote control is not used for several weeks or longer, remove the batteries.
- Any leaks from the batteries could damage the remote control.
- Do not re-charge or disassemble the batteries. Do not throw the batteries into the fire. They can burn and explode.
- If the battery liquid falls onto the skin or clothes, wash well with clean water. Do not use the remote control with batteries that have leaked.
- The chemical products contained in the batteries can cause burns or other risks to health.
Location of the remote control
- Keep the remote control in a position from which the signal can reach the receiver (29) of the appli-ance (maximum distance is approx. 3 metres – with charged batteries) (figure D).
The presence of obstacles (furniture, curtains, walls, etc.) between the remote control and the appliance reduces the remote control range.
USE OF THE APPLIANCE
Work as follows in order to use the appliance.
note: To prevent possible damages to the compressor, each start is delayed by 3 minutes with respect to the last switching off.
Preliminary operations
- Place the appliance on a stable and not inclined base, at at least 50 cm. from the wall or from any other object, in order to ensure the correct air circulation. Place it on a water-resistant surface since the possible water leakage could damage furniture or the floor.
- Do not place the appliance directly on carpets, towels, blankets or other absor-bent surfaces.
- Insert the plug in the power socket; the appliance emits a “beep” and switches to stand-by mode.
Note: Before electrically connecting the appliance, make sure the plate data correspond to those of the electricity distribution network.
Appliance switching on/off
- The appliance can be switched ON or OFF for short periods by pressing B1 on the remote control or SW1 on the control panel (if the appliance is switched off for a long period then it should be deactivated by removing the plug from the mains supply.
- The respective LED S8 lights up indicating that the appliance is switched on.
- In this condition, press B1 again on the remote control (or SW1 on the control panel) to restore all the formerly selected functions.
To set the automatic switching on/off of the appliance, please refer to the paragraph “Timer Mode”.
COOLING MODE (COOL)
-
Using this mode, the appliance dehumidifies and cools the environment.
This mode can be selected by pressing B7 or SW2 until when the cooling LED (S3) is activated on the control panel display. -
The temperature set-point (Set temperature) can be adjusted from 16°C to 31°C with 1°C variations thanks to B4/B5 or SW3/SW4 and the respective value appears on the display.
-
Three minutes (maximum) after the activation of this operating mode the compressor starts and the ap-pliance starts to distribute cold air.
VENTILATION MODE (FAN)
- When this operating mode is used the appliance has no effect on the temperature or humidity of the environment, it merely circulates the air.
- This mode can be selected by pressing B7 or SW2 until when the ventilation LED (S5) is activated on the control panel display.
- In this operating mode, the internal fan is always on and it is possible to select the desired speed through the keys B6 or SW6; the respective LEDs “High” (S1) or “Low” (S2) light up.
DEHUMIDIFICATION MODE (DRY)
-
This mode can be selected by pressing B7 or SW2 until when the dehumidification LED (S4) is activated on the control panel display.
-
In DRY mode, it is not possible to select the fan speed or to adjust temperature.
The fan motor works at low speed. -
Keep doors and windows closed to achieve the best dehumidifying effect.
Do not place the air outlet pipe out of a window. -
Connect the condensation discharge pipe (paragraph 2.5.a)
SLEEP MODE
- This mode can be selected by pressing B3 or SW7 until when the LED (S7) switches on.
- In this mode, the appliance enters energy conservation mode and works silently, autonomously decreasing the fan speed.
TIMER MODE
This mode can be used to activate a switching on/off timer of the appliance.
To activate the appliance SWITCHING ON timer, work as follows:
-
With the appliance in stand-by mode (with the power plug connected), press the keys B2 or SW5.
-
When the LED S6 flashes, set the desired time value through the keys B4/B5 or SW3/SW4
(0h (Timer off) —> 1h —> 2h —> .. 24h —> 23h —> 22h —> .. 0h (Timer off) —> ..). -
The LED S6 remains steady on.
-
The appliance will switch on automatically when it reaches the previously set time.
To activate the appliance SWITCHING OFF timer, work as follows:
-
With the appliance switched on (LED S8 active), press the keys B2 or SW5.
-
When the LED S6 flashes, set the desired time value through the keys B4/B5 or SW3/SW4
(0h (Timer off) —> 1h —> 2h —> .. 24h —> 23h —> 22h —> .. 0h (Timer off) —> ..). -
The LED S6 remains steady on.
-
The appliance will switch off automatically when it reaches the previously set time.
NO FROST FUNCTION

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
- Before proceeding with any maintenance and cleaning intervention, always make sure you disconnected the power plug from the power socket.
- Do not touch the metal parts of the appliance when you remove the filter.
- There is a risk of injury due to the sharp metal edges.
- Do not use water to clean the internal parts of the air conditioner. Exposure to water can ruin the isolation, with the risk of electric shocks.
CLEANING
Cleaning the appliance and the remote control
- Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance and the remote control.
- It is possible to use a cloth moistened with cold water to clean the appliance in case it’s very dirty.
Do not use a chemically treated or antistatic cloth to clean the appliance.
Do not use gasoline, solvent, polish or similar solvents.
These products could cause the breakage or deformation of the plastic surface.
Cleaning the suction filter
To ensure the indoor air is filtered correctly and to guarantee that your air conditioner runs efficiently, it is vital to clean the air filters regularly (Fig.15).
- Switch off the air conditioner and disconnect it from the power supply.
- Undo the screw and extract the filter (23).
- Soak the filter (23) in a solution of hot water (40°) and neutral detergent.
- Shake off any water before reinserting the filter.
Provide for the filter (23) replacement if it is damaged.
- Make sure the filter (23) has dried completely.
- Correctly reposition the filter (23) in its specific seat.
