All maintenance sta 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 o. 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 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.
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 CO

7. Sealed electrical components shall be replaced.
8. Intrinsically safe components must be replaced.
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 specifications. 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; and 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.
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.
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.
9. Cabling
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
10. Detection of flammable refrigerants
background

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.
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 o valves) in a part of the system remote from the
leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to 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. The following procedure shall be adhered to:
-Safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
-Evacuate;
-Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);
-Evacuate (optional for A2L);
-continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; and
-open the circuit.
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
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. The outlet
for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources, and
ventilation shall be available.
11. Removal and evacuation
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 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.
12. Charging procedures
13. Decommissioning
background
11
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 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 o.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.
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.
14. Labelling
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
the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. 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.
The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation 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 compressor body shall not be heated by an open flame or other
ignition sources to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it
shall be carried out safely.

1. does not support major structural loads such
as the frame construction at ends of windows,
and under truss-bearing points, etc.
2. does not have plumbing or wiring inside.
3. is near existing electrical outlets or where
another outlet can be installed.
4.is not blocked to the area to be cooled.
5. allows unblocked airflow from rear sides and
end(outside) of installed air conditioner.
1. Prepare wall in frame construction (including
brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside
the room, find wall stud nearest the center of
area where air conditioner will be installed (by
sounding wall or by magnetically finding nails).
2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of center
stud.
3. Measure between inside edges of every other
stud as shown in Fig.1.
Carefully measure and cut an opening with the
following dimensions depending on your model.
See Fig.1 and Fig.2.
Step 4. Repeat on the other side.
In order to minimize air leaks between the room
air conditoner and the window opening, trim the
weather stripping with a proper length, peel off

Refer to Step 5 of Window Mounting for
assembly of support brackets. A wooden strip
nailed to the outside wall should be used in
conjunction with sill support angle brackets.
4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dim-
ensions of your model listed above. (Remember
to measure twice). Frame depth should be the
same as wall thickness. Fill in the space from
the opening to the studs with wood spacers,
as shown.
5. Nail frame to spacers to spacers with front
flush with drywall.
NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2"
or more, add aluminum flashing over
bottom of frame opening to assure no
water can enter area between inner
and outer wall.

Thermostat
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:
1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (See Fig.A)
2. Draw fresh air into the room- Vent Open (see Fig.B)
3. Exchange air from the room and draws fresh air into the room - Vent and Exhaust Open (see Fig.C)
The desired cool setting is selected by rotating the knob to the right to the
appropriate location.
HI COOL(HIGH COOL) has maximum cooling effect and airflow.
LO COOL(LOW COOL) has minimum cooling effect and airflow.
MED COOL has the intermediate cooling effect and airflow(on some models).
OFF will completely shut off the unit.
Rotate the knob to the left to select your choice of fan speeds for air circulation.
The thermostat i s used to s et the desired room temperature when the unit is
being operated in the COOL MODE.
To set the desired room temperature, rotate the thermostat switch to the desired
setting. After the set temperature is achieved the thermostat will automatically
start and stop the compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature.
Rotate the thermostat selector clockwise for higher cool settings. Higher cool
settings will provide lower room temperature. Rotate the thermostat selector
counter clockwise for lower cool settings. Lower cool settings will provide higher
room temperature.
NOTE: If your unit is equipped with a vent handle, keep it closed
for maximum efficiency.
NOTE: When selecting a fan speed, the compressor will not run.
On models with a vent control, this mode can be used to remove
stale air from the room, or to draw fresh air into the room.
Check the section “ Fresh Air Vent Control”.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
DISPLAYS:
TIMER: AUTO START/STOP FEATURE:
Now that you have mastered the operating
procedure, here are more features in your
control that you should become familiar with.
Use this function only when cooling is not
desired,such as for room air circulation or to
exhaust stale air (on some models). (Remember
to open the vent during this function, but keep
it closed during cooling for maximum cooling
efficiency.) You can choose any fan speed you
prefer.
During this function, the display will show the
actual room temperature, not the set
temperature as in the cooling mode.
In Fan only mode ,the temperature is not
adjusted.
To operate on Dry mode:
In this mode, the air conditioner will generally
operate in the form of a dehumidifier. Since the
conditioned space is a closed or sealed area,
some degree of cooling will continue. On Dry
mode,the fan speed is controlled at Low
automatically.
Press Timer button, the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF
indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto
Start or Auto Stop program is initiated. For some
units, keep pressing the Timer button will cancel
the timer settings.
The Cool circuit has an automatic 3 minutes
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.
The control is capable of displaying
tempera-ture in degrees Fahrenheit or
degrees Celsius.
To convert from one to the other, press and
hold the Up and Down buttons at the same
time for 3 seconds.
Press or hold the UP or DOWN button to change
the Auto time by 0.5 hour increments, up to 10
hours,then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours.
The control will count down the time remaining
until start.
The selected time will register in 5 seconds, and
the system will automatically revert back to
display the previous temperature setting or room
temperature when the unit is on.(when the unit
is off,there is no display.)
Turning the unit ON or OFF at any time or a
djusting the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the
Auto Start/Stop timed program.
To operate on Fan Only:
Shows the set temperature in ” °C" or ” °F" and
the Auto-timer settings.While on Fan only mode,
it shows the room temperature. If the room
temperature is too high or low, it will display
" HI" or " LO".
Error codes:
AS - Room temperature sensor error
ES -Evaporator temperature sensor error
HS -Electric heating sensor error(on some
models);
CS -Condenser temperature sensor error
(on some models);
