SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON SERVICING
Please follow these warnings when to undertake the following when servicing an appliance with R32.

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 minimized. 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 minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor 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 beavoided. The area around the work space shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

4. 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.c. no 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 CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

6. 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.

7. Ventilated area
   Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adecquately 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 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’stechnical 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 areoperating adequately and are not obstructed;

Drainage Method
I: Water pipe drainage method

Operation instructions: When using the water pipe drainage method, connect the water pipe at the drain, place the water pipe in place, place the other end of the water pipe at the drain, or at the drain sink, or in the water storage container; turn on the machine to use the water pipe drainage method.

Dehumidifiers Adopt Drain by Gravity, the collected condensation water can be drained by gravity.When using gravity to drain:

1. Connect the drain hose to the Gravity Drain Outlet;

2. Place the unattached end of the hose in a suitable drainage facility. The drainage facility should be lower than the drainoutlet  of the dehumidifier. (Ensure there are nokinks or other obstructions that will stop the water to flow.)
   Note: 1)lf you use a bucket or other container for water collection,check it regularly to prevent overflows.2)Connecting a drain hose that is too long is not recommended,as it may cause water to back up, causing a leak.

3. lf the drain hose is too long, water may not drain completely.which can lead to stagnant water and mildew building up inside the hose.

4. Before moving the dehumidifier, make sure the condensed water inside is completely drained to avoid water leakage.

Ⅱ.External pump drainage method(not include pump,need to buy)

When it is necessary to connect an external water pump, oneend of the drainpipe is connected to the water outlet, and theother end is connected to the water inlet of the water pump.
Note: The reserved external water pump signal input port cannot be connected to the power supply, so as not to cause the main board ofthe product to burn out.
Operating instructions: When using the pump drainage method, the operation is as follows.

1. The two ends of the water pipe A, one end connected to the machine drain, must be placed in place; the other end placed in the water pump inlet, placed firmly.
2. Connect one end of the water pipe B to the water pump discharge port, and place the other end of the water pipe in the sewer opening, or drainage sink, or water storage container; Note: the length of the water pipe B must be within the range of the pump’s head.
3. Plug one end of the pump signal line into the pump signal line interface of the machine and assemble it in place.
4. Plug the power cord of the pump into a solid, suitable socket.Pump power on, turn on the machine can be used to drain the water pump.
