Information on servicing 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 minimised. For repair to the REFRIGERATING
SYSTEM.
2)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.
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 be avoided.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
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 toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure that
the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with all
applicable refrigerants, i. e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or
intrinsically safe.
5)Presence of fire extinguisher If any hot work is to be conducted on the
refrigerating 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
REFRIGERATING SYSTEM which involves exposing any pipe work 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 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 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.
8)Checks to the refrigerating 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: Y the actual REFRIGERANT CHARGE is in accordance with
the room size within which the refrigerant
containing parts are installed; Y the ventilation machinery and outlets are
operating adequately and are not obstructed; Y if an indirect refrigerating
circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence
of
refrigerant; Y marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible.
Markings and signs that are illegible shall be
corrected; Y refrigerating 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.
9)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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Initial safety checks shall include: Y that capacitors are discharged: this
shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking; Y that no
live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering
or purging the system; Y that there is continuity of earth bonding.
Repairs to sealed components Y 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. Y Particular
attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on
electrical. Y 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. Y Ensure that the apparatus
is mounted securely. Y Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not
degraded to the point 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.
Repair to intrinsically safe components Y 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.
Y 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. Y
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts
may result in the ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak. Y NOTE The use of silicon sealant
can inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment.
Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on
them.
Cabling Y 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 Y 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. Y The following leak detection methods are deemed
acceptable for all refrigerant systems. Y 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. Y
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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Y NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are bubble method, fluorescent
method agents.
Y If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. Y 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.
Removal and evacuation When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make
repairs or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used.
However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be
followed, since flammability is a consideration. Y The following procedure
shall be adhered to:
a) safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations; b)
purge the circuit with inert gas; c) evacuate (optional for A2L); d) purge
with inert gas (optional for A2L); e) open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
Y The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery
cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For
appliances containing flammable refrigerants,the system shall be purged with
oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants.
This process might need to be repeated several times. Y Compressed air or
oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems. Y For appliances
containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by
breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to
fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and
finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be
repeated until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When
the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down
to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. Y Ensure that the outlet
for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that
ventilation is available.
Charging procedures Y In addition to conventional charging procedures, the
following requirements shall be followed. Y Ensure that contamination of
different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Y Hoses
or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant
contained in them. Y Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position
according to the instructions. Y Ensure that the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM is
earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant. Y Label the system when
charging is complete (if not already). Y Extreme care shall be taken not to
overfill the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM. Y Prior to recharging the system, it shall
be pressure-tested with the appropriate purging gas. 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 Y 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. Y 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 recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical
power is available before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
b) Isolate system electrically. c) 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. d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible. e) If a vacuum is not
possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various
parts of the system. f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales
before recovery takes place. g) Start the recovery machine and operate in
accordance with instructions. h) Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80 %
volume liquid charge). i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the
cylinder, even temporarily. j) 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. k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another
REFRIGERATING SYSTEM unless it has been cleaned and checked.
Labelling Y Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-
commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label
shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS,
ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains
FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT.
Recovery Y When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, it is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. Y 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. Y 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 all appropriate refrigerants including, when
applicable, 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. Y 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. Y 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.
POWER CORD AND PLUG
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and
Interruption) power cord and plug as required by US National Electric Code
440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no
termination on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical
disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current leakage between the cord
shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will
remain de-energized until the device has been manually reset. This is intended
to reduce the risk of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials
nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock
hazard if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any
exposed metal.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is
functioning properly. To test:
1. Plug power cord into wall outlet, the LED light will turn on. 2. Press
TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner. When
this occurs, the LED
light will turn off. 3. Press RESET button to restore power to the unit. Once
power is restored, the LED light will turn on
again.
If test button is pressed and unit can still be turned on, current leakage has
been detected. Do not use the air conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI
Plug. Contact Customer Service for troubleshooting recommendations.

USE THE AIR CONDITIONER
Freezing Conditions: This air conditioner is not designed for freezing outdoor
conditions. It must not be used in freezing outdoor conditions.
Remote Control: To ensure proper operation when using the remote control, aim
the remote directly at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.
The remote control has a signal range up to 20 feet. Make sure nothing is
blocking the remote control signal from being received by the air conditioner.
Make sure the batteries are installed correctly and still have power.
Cooling & Heating Mode: Use the Cool or Heat mode at High, Low, Quiet fan
speed when needed. Use the temperature or buttons to set the desired
temperature between 62°F-86°F. Once the temperature is set, the compressor
will cycle on and off to keep the room temperature at the set temperature
level. The lower the set thermostat temperature, the cooler the room will be.
The higher the set thermostat temperature, the warmer the room will become.
Energy Saver Mode: When the Energy Saver mode is ON, the fan will cycle on and
off with the compressor. This results in more variations of room temperature
and humidity. Normally, it is used when the room is unoccupied. The fan may
continue to run for a short time after the compressor cycles off. When the
Energy Saver mode is OFF, the fan runs all the time in fan, cool and heat
mode.
*Energy Saver mode is the default startup mode
Fan Only Mode: Use Fan Only mode at High, Low, or Quiet fan speed to provide
air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since Fan Only setting does not
provide cool, a set temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will
appear in the display.

USE AND CARE
CARE AND CLEANING Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new and to
minimize dust build up.
Air Filter Cleaning The air filter should be checked at least once every month
to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped particles and dust can build up in the
filter and may decrease airflow as well as cause the cooling coils to
accumulate frost. To clean the air filter:
1. Remove the filter by pulling on the indents of the front panel on the top,
right and left side of the unit. 2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently shake the filter to re-
move excess water. 3. Let the filter dry completely before placing back it
into the air conditioner. 4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and other particles.
