-
The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
-
A warning that the appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for operation.
-
Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognized assessment specification.
-
Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
-
DO NOT modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
-
DO NOT share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can cause fire or electrical shock.
-
Please follow the instruction carefully to handle, install, clear, service the air conditioner to avoid any damage or hazard. Flammable Refrigerant R32 is used within air conditioner. When maintaining or disposing the air conditioner, the refrigerant (R32 or R290) shall be recovered properly, shall not discharge to air directly.
-
No any open fire or device like switch which may generate spark/arcing shall be around air conditioner to avoid causing ignition of the flammable refrigerant used.
Please follow the instruction carefully to store or maintain the air conditioner to prevent mechanical damage from occurring. -
Flammable refrigerant – R32 is used in air conditioner. Please follow the instruction carefully to avoid any hazard.
-
The refrigerating system should not receive maintenance, service, or repair by any person.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 all refrigerant systems. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, 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 also 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.
NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are
– bubble method,
– fluorescent method agents.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found contact local manufacture to replace unit.

Energy Saving Ideas
- Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
- The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
- Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
- Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
- Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
- Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning”.
- Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
- External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s work load.
- Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
