WARNING
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.
WARNING
Servicing should only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel should be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
If you have unclear questions or need help, please contact our customer service.
2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON SERVICING
Please follow these warnings when to undertake the following when servicing an appliance with R290.
2.2.1 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 should be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
2 2 2 Work orocerlirre
Work should 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.
2.2.3 General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area should be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces should be avoided. The area around the work space should be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.
2.2.4 Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area should 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. no sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
2.2.5 Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment should be available on hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
2 2 6 No ignition snow:es
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant should 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 should be displayed.
Ventilated area Ensure that the area is open or adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A certain degree of ventilation should be maintained during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant, preferably expel it outside to the atmosphere.
2.2.8 Checks to the refrigeration efirrioment
When replacing electrical components, they should be suitable for the purpose and meet the correct specification. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines should always be followed. If in doubt, please consult the qualified technician for assistance. The following checks should be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
— The charge size is in accordance with the size of the room where the refrigerant components are installed;
— Ventilation equipment and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;
— If an indirect refrigerating circuit is used, the secondary circuit should be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
— Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible should be corrected;
– Refrigeration piping or components are installed in a position where they are containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials with inherent corrosion resistance or are properly protected against corrosion.
2.2.9Checks to elctrical devices
The repair and maintenance to electrical components should include initial may endanger safety, the power supply must not be connected to the circuit until it has been handled satisfactorily. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately, but operation needs to be continued, an adequate temporary solution should be used. This should be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
– Those capacitors are discharged: this should be done in a safe manner to
– When charging, restoring or purging the system, no live electrical components and wires are exposed;
– Continuity of the ground connection.
WARNING Install the unit in rooms which exceed 13 m².
Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas
NOTE! The manufacturer may provide other suitable example or may provide additional information about the refrigerant odour.

5.4.3. TIMER SETTING (thour-24hours):
The timer has two ways of operation:

5.4.4.Automatic Defrost
At low room temperatures, frost may buildup at the evaporator during operation. The unit will automatically start defrosting and the POWER LED indicator blinking. The defrost control sequence is as follows:
A. When the unit operates in the cool or dry mode, the ambient temperature sensor detects that the evaporator coil temperature is below -1°C, then the compressor will stop operating for 10 minutes or the coil temperature up to 7°C, and the unit will restart to the cooling operation mode.
B. When the unit operates in the heat or dry mode, once the coil temperature sensor senses the temperature of the evaporator is lower than 40°C and the differential temperature between coil temperature and room temperature is lower than 19°C after the compressor runs for 20 minutes, the unit starts defrosting for 5 minutes and the power indicator flashes.
5.4.6. Overload Protection
In the event of a power failure, in order to protect the compressor, there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarts.
5.5 DRAINAGE
Manual drainage:

1. When the machine stops after the water is full, please unplug the power plug.
   Notes: Please move the machine carefully, so as not to spill the water in the water pan at the bottom of the body.

2. Place the water container below the side water outlet behind the body.

3. Unplug the water plug, the water will automatically flow into the water container.

Notes:

1. Keep the water plug properly.
2. During the body can be
3. If the water container cannot hold all the water, before the water container is full, stuff the water outlet with the water plug as soon as possible to prevent water from flowing to the floor or the carpet.
4. When the water is discharged, stuff the water plug.
   Notes: 1. Restart the machine after the water plug and drainage cover are installed, otherwise condensate water of the machine will flow to the floor or the carpet.

6. CLEANING AND CARE

Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. Restricted airflow reduces The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. Do not operate the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.

1. Press POWER button to switch off the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the filter mesh from the unit.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck off the dust on the filter.
4. Turn the filter over and rinse the air filter under running water. Let the water flow through the filter in the opposite direction of air flow. Set aside and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling.

Warning!!!
Do not touch the surface of the evaporator with bare hands, otherwise your fingers may be injured.
6.2. CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT
General Measures:

1. Gas/vapor is heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, especially on or below ground level.
2. Eliminate all possible sources of ignition.
3. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
4. Evacuate unnecessary personnel, isolate and ventilate the area.
5. Do not get into eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or gas.
6. Prevent entry into sewers and public waters.
7. Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Consider using water spray to disperse vapors.
8. lsolate the area until the gas has dispersed. Ventilate and conduct a gas test in the area before entering. Contact competent technician after a spill.
