Thank You for trusting Della as your home comfort solution. We know no better how exicting it must be to have a new and functional AC to make
your living space more comfortable. But AC installation, in reality, is far from being simple. Here are a few things you must know before installing
the AC whether by yourself or by a professional HVAC technician. This will give you an idea of what to look out for installing an AC so that it can
perform at its maximum eciency and every dollar you invest in it pays o.
The refrigerant pipe is one of the most important, if not the most important, parts of the mini split AC system. So, be
sure to understand what the entire process entails. You might need special-purpose tools to shorten and bend the
pipe. Purchaseing lengthening pipes to match your connection might also be necessary. Any ow in the handling of the
refrigerant pipes may cause a refrigerant leak or reduced eciency. The cost to repair or re-install the refrigerant pipe
can quickly frustrate and upset any DIYer, especially when trying to save money by not hiring a professional. Additional
refrigerant might also be needed if you used lengthening pipes or nd any leaks during your install. Further more, it's
always a good idea to test for any refrigerant leaks after completing your installation by using soapy spray or professional
detector tools. Please contact us if you need extra refrigerant.
-22-
The line set contains the refrigerant pipes, drain hose, and electrical wires. A good arrangment and insulation prevent
water condensation and protects it from extermal elements, as well as matching the exact distance of the installation. No
one wants extra line set dangling around.
-18, 30-
AC absolutely needs vacuum pumping in order to perform ecently and prevent refrigerant from reacting with air
moisture and damaing the internal parts of the machine. With a vacuum pump and a micron gauge, the process does not
take very long, but it is important to do it right.
-26-
A safe and properly electrical connection is crucial necessity for the installation. The voltage, power breaker protection,
cable requirement and wiring must correspond to the specications of each model. A poor connection can quickly
becomes a re hazard.

This symbol means information is available in the installation or operation instruction manual.
Warning and Safety
Prior to any work on systems containing ammable refrigerants, always check the area to ensure that the risk of
ignition is minimized. All possible ignition sources, such as cigarette, should be kept siciently 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 should be surveyed to make sure that there are no
ammable hazards or ignition risk. "No smoking" sign shall be displayed.
Installation or maintenance of refrigerant system shall be taken under a controlled procedure to minimize the risk of
ammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.
All working personnal and others around the working 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, and ensure that the
conditions within the area have been made safe.
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work to ensure the technician is
aware of potentially ammable atmospheres.
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate re extinguishing
equipment shall be available to hand.
Ensure that the area is in the open or it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any work
that will product heat. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out.
The folliwing checks shall be applied to installations using ammable refrigerants:
The refrigerant charge amount is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are
installed.
The ventilation machinery and outlet are operating adequately and are not obstructed.
If an indirect refrigerating curcuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be check for the presence of refrigerant.
Refrigerant pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlilely 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 suitable protected against being corroded.
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 naked ame shall not be used.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect ammable refrigerant. Ensure that the detector is not a potential
source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used.
Leak detection equipment 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 chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the pipe work.
If a leak is suspected, all open ame shall be removed or extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant 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 nitogen shall be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.
