the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of ammable material.
6. Informationonservicing
1)  Checks to the area Prior to beginning work on systems containing ammable 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.
2)  Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a ammable gas or vapour 
being present while the work is being performed.
3)  General work area
All maintenance sta󰀨 and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried 
out. Work in conned spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned o󰀨. Ensure that 
the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of ammable 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

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 ammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead 
to the risk of re or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept su󰀩ciently 
far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which ammable 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 ammable 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. Adegree 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 t for the purpose and to the correct specication. 
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 
ammable refrigerants:
The charge size 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;
Refrigeration 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.
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
1)  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.
2)  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 a󰀨ected. This shall include damage to 
cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specication, damage to seals, 
incorrect tting 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 
ammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specications.
NOTE: The  use  of  silicon  sealant  may  inhibit  the  e󰀨ectiveness  of  some  types  of  leak  detection  equipment. 
Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
SAFETY & IMPORTANT INFORMATION
background
Rinnai 8 Portable Room AC OIM
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 ammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at 
the correct rating. Replace components only with parts specied 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 e󰀨ects. The check shall also take into account the e󰀨ects of aging or continual vibration 
from sources such as compressors or fans.
10. Detectionofammable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 ame) shall not be used.
11. Leakdetectionmethods
The  following  leak  detection  methods  are  deemed  acceptable  for  systems  containing  ammable  refrigerants. 
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect ammable 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 conrmed. Leak detection uids 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  ames  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 o󰀨 valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) 
shall then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.
12. Removalandevacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall 
be used. However, it is important that best practice is followed since ammability is a consideration. The following 
procedure shall be adhered to:
Remove refrigerant;  Purge the circuit with inert gas; Evacuate;  Purge again with inert gas; Open the  circuit by 
cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be ushed with 
OFN to render the unit safe. This process may  need to be  repeated several times.  Compressed air or  oxygen 
shall not be used for this task. Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and 
continuing to ll until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and nally pulling down to a 
vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system.
When the nal OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to 
take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe-work are to take place. Ensure that 
the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.
13. Chargingprocedures
In  addition  to  conventional  charging  procedures,  the  following  requirements  shall  be  followed.  Ensure  that 
contamination of di󰀨erent 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 upright.
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  overll  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.

14. 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 manufacturer’s instructions. 
h)  Do not overll 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 lled 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 o󰀨. 
k)  Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and 
checked.
15. 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 ammable 
refrigerant�
16. Recovery
When  removing  refrigerant  from  a  system,  either  for  servicing  or  decommissioning,  it  is  recommended  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-o󰀨  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 
ammable 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 ammable 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.

INTRODUCTION
This  portable  air  conditioner  can  alter  the  room  temperature  and  humidity.  It  has  multiple  functions  of  cooling 
dehumidifying (drying) and fan ventilation and can be moved from room to room and transported from building to 
building easily.
The  air  conditioner  can  maintain  set  room  indoor  air  temperatures  between  16°C  and  32°C.  The  set  room 
temperature is displayed on the remote control and in the control panel on the unit. This does not mean that the air 
conditioner will necessarily reduce the actual room temperature to the set room temperature. 
Do not place the air conditioner or plastic window slider in direct sunlight. Close all curtains in the room being 
cooled�
For  maximum  cooling  (COOLING  MODE),  set  the  temperature  at  18°C  and  the  fan  at  HIGH.  After 
approximately 3 minutes, the compressor will turn on and cooled air will come out of the front air outlet. 
Warm air will also come out of the rear outlet and into the exhaust hose.
In COOLING MODE the air conditioner will not cool unless the set temperature is below the existing room 
temperature�
In COOLING MODE once the existing room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fan continues 
operating and the compressor switches on and o󰀨 to maintain the set temperature within the room.
For maximum cooling output keep the exhaust hose as short and as straight as possible. Minimise bends 
which can reduce the maximum cooling capacity of the air conditioner. Elevate the air conditioner if necessary.
Make sure the air intake and outlet grills are unobstructed.
Clean the lters at least once every two weeks.

It  is  recommended  that  after  each  cooling  season  the  exterior 
panels and display of the appliance are cleaned with a soft damp 
cloth�
Air  lters  should  be  checked  and  cleaned  every  week  during 
periods of heavy use. For intermittent use this can be extended to 
2 to 3 weeks. 
If storing the appliance for a prolong period remove the plugs and 
hoses from the drain outlets (7) , (8) and (12).

EXHAUST DUCTING OPTIONS
There are two ducting options available for this appliance, these are a Window installation or an optional Semi-
permanent wall installation.
IMPORTANT
DONOToverextendtheexhaustduct.
Overextensionoftheexhaustductcanleadtokinking.
Kinkedductingcausesairowrestrictionsandlowersthe
e󰀩ciencyoftheappliance.
Keepingtheexhaustductasshortaspossibleavoidsthis
issue.
WINDOW INSTALLATIONS
The window kit has been designed to t most standard vertical and horizontal window applications. There may be 
some cases where you may need to modify some aspects of this installation procedure for certain window types. 
Minimum and maximum horizontal / vertical window opening dimensions:
1� Once a suitable window has been chosen, t the Adjustable Slider Kit (14) into the window areas and x the 
length of the kit using the supplied slide lock nut and bolt.
NOTE

SEMI-PERMANENTWALLINSTALLATION
In some cases a window opening might not be assessable;  therefore  Wall Exhaust Adaptor  and Wall Exhaust 
Terminal are required that can be connected the Exhaust Duct.  Note: Wall Exhaust Adaptor (PN 94320029) and 
Wall Exhaust Terminal (PN 94320031) are not supplied, please order separately.
WARNING
Thepositioningandinstallationofthewallangeshouldbecompletedbyanauthorisedperson
andmustcomplywithallmunicipalbuildingcodesandOH&Sguidelines.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
NOTE
CondensateproducedbythisapplianceisNOTpotable,
disposeofviawasteoutletorallowtoevaporate.
INTERNAL CONDENSATE TANK
During operation the appliance may produce small amounts of condensate. 
The appliance has an inbuilt condensate tank. If all three  drain  outlets 
(7), (8) and (12) are plugged, then this tank may reach capacity. If this 
happens, the appliance will stop operation and the condensate full code 
“P1” will be shown on the control panel display and the condensate tank 
will need to be drained before operation can be resumed. To do this:
1� Place shallow tray such as an oven baking tray or similar (with at 
least a 1 litre volume) under Drain Tray Outlet (12).
2� Remove  the  plug  from  Drain  Tray  Outlet  (12)  and  drain  out  the 
condensate water, once the condensate is drained replace the plug, 
the appliance will now be able to then resume operation.
FIXED CONDENSATE DRAINAGE HOSE
As an alternative to using the appliances internal condensate tank, a condensate drain hose (18) may de tted.
Option 1 - External Drain Tray: with drain outlets (8) and (12) plugged, t the condensate drain hose (18) to drain 
outlet (7) and drain the condensate into a drain tray.
Option 2 - Existing Waste Outlet: with drain outlets (7) and (8) plugged, t the condensate drain hose (18) to drain 
outlet (12) and drain the condensate into a drain tray or waste outlet.
NOTE
ThepointtowhichthecondensateistobedrainedMUST BElowerthanthedrainageoutletpoint.
Whenusingadraintrayoption,ensurethatthecapacityofthetrayisgreaterthanthatofthe
condensatebeingproduced.
