4. Storage of equipment/appliances
The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Storage of packed (unsold) equipment

Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical damage to the equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge. The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will be determined by local regulations.

6. Information on servicing

a) 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.

b)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.

c) 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.

d)Checking for presence of refrigerant

The area shall be checked with an

appropriate refrigerating 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.

e) 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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
f) No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigerating 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.
g)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.
h) 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: The actual refrigerant charge 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; 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.
i) 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.
7. Repairs to sealed components
a) 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.
b)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

8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
NOTE: 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10.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.
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.

Removal of refrigerant shall be according

to Removal and evacuation.

11. Removal and evacuation

When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs ­ or for any other purpose­conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration. 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.

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. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

purging refrigerant systems. 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. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.
12.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 in an appropriate position according to the instructions. 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.
13. 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.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
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 refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
14. 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.
15. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended

10 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

To delay stop(or start), press the Timer button when the unit is power-on(or power-off), then the “timer off” indicator(or “timer on” indicator) will illuminate. Then adjust timer setting, tap or hold the UP arrow ( ) or the DOWN arrow ( ) to change delay timer at 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The setting will be confirmed automatically in 5 seconds, then the control will count down the time(8, 7.5, 7, etc.) left, and all other settings will remain the same as they were before the timer setting is confirmed, until stop(or start).

Setting combination of “delay stop turn off delay start” or “delay start turn on delay stop” is workable. Both “timer off” indicator and “timer on” indicator will illuminate then. The timer setting can be canceled by either pressing and holding the timer button for 2 seconds, or pressing the power on/off button at any time to turn off the unit directly.
REMOTE SENSING FEATURE (on some models): This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY, the unit must be in a cooling mode. To activate the remote sensing feature, point the remote control towards the unit and press the Remote Sensing button. Next, use the ” ” buttons to set the desired temperature at the remote. (Note that the set temperature will only be displayed on the unit itself ). The LIGHT on the unit control will illuminate to indicate it receives the signal. The LIGHT on the remote control will pulse each time it sends a signal. lt will periodically send this signal until the feature is deactivated by pressing the remote sensing button again. lf the unit does not receive the remote sensing signal during any 7 minute interval, the Remote Sensing feature will halt until the unit receives signal from the remote control again. The display on the remote control indicates the temperature at the remote ONLY.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.
NOTE
The “Cool” circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.

19 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

· There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having to roll through to select another mode.
· The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60°F and 90°F degrees.
· After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
· The unit should be operated in a temperature range of indoor side 60°F 90°F (16°C – 32°C), outdoor side 64°F 109°F (18°C – 43°C). Performance may be reduced outside of these operating temperatures.
Fresh Air Vent Control (on some models)
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:
1. Recirculate inside air – Vent Closed (see Fig. 1)
2. Draw fresh air into the room – Fresh Air (see Fig. 2)
3. Exchange air from the room – Vent Open (see Fig. 3)

Figure 3 (VENT OPEN)
Air Directional Louvers Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver type described below.
Slider Type The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. Drag the adjuster tablet until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired Up/Down direction is obtained.

20CARE AND CLEANING & ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards. Air Filter Cleaning The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils. · Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed
position(where applicable). · Open the front panel. · Grasp the filter by the center and pull up
and out. · Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing
detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. · Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean. NOTE: When replacing the air filter after cleaning, make sure the tabs on the air filter are on the upper part of filter, and placed outward as shown in the drawing on the left side.

Air Filter

Cabinet Cleaning · Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to
prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil- free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. · Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front. · Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner. · Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.
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.
