DANGER
WARNING
Do not power the system using an extension cable or with wiring smaller than the specified gauge. Do not share the electrical circuit with other appliances. Improper or insufficient power supply can cause undesirable operation, fire, or electrical shock. When connecting refrigerant piping, do not let any substances or gases other than the specified refrigerant enter the unit. The presence of other gases or substances will lower the unit's capacity, and can cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration cycle. This can also cause explosion and injury, as well as permanent equipment failure. Remember: No dust, humidity or air is allowed to enter. Do not allow children to play with or around the air conditioner. Children near the unit must be supervised at all times.
1. Installation must be performed by a licensed and trained technician. Defective installation can cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire. The usage of proper tools is a requirement.
2. Installation must be performed according to the installation instructions. Improper installation can cause water leakage, undesired performance, electrical shock, or fire. (In North America, installation must be performed in accordance with the requirements of NEC and CEC, by authorized personnel only.)
3. Contact a qualified and licensed HVAC technician for any repairs or maintenance of this unit.
4. Only use the included accessories, parts, and specified items for installation. Using non-standard parts can cause water leakage, electrical shock, fire, and can cause total unit failure.
5. Install the unit on top of a firm structure that can fully support its weight. If the chosen location cannot support the unit's weight, or the installation is not done properly, the unit may fall and cause serious injury and damage.
Page 4
WARNING
6. For all electrical work, follow all local and national wiring standards, regulations, and especially this Installation Manual. You must use an independent circuit and a dedicated breaker to supply power. Do not connect other appliances to the same circuit. Insufficient electrical capacity or defects in electrical work can cause electrical shock or fire.
7. For all electrical work, use the specified cables. Connect cables tightly, and clamp them securely to prevent external forces from damaging the terminals. Improper electrical connections can overheat and cause fire, and may also cause shock.
8. All wiring must be properly arranged to ensure that the control board cover can close properly. If the control board cover is not closed properly, it can lead to corrosion and cause the connection points on the terminal to heat up, catch fire, or cause electrical shock.
9. In certain functional environments, such as kitchens, server rooms, etc., the use of specially designed air-conditioning units is highly recommended. This is intended as a general comfort cooling system.
10. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service agent or similarly qualified technicians, in order to avoid a hazard.
11. This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above, as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way, and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with or near the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done or attempted by children or untrained personnel without proper supervision.
CAUTION
For units that have an auxiliary electric heater, do not install the unit within 1 meter (3 feet) of any combustible materials. Do not install the unit in a location that may be exposed to combustible gas leaks. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, it may cause fire.

NOTE
After stopping and restarting the air conditioner, or after the mode is changed during operation, the system does not restart immediately, and will come on when three minutes have elapsed (as a protection for the compressor).
Full system-rated capacity and efficiency is obtained at the standard rating conditions as developed by the testing and rating agencies. Deviations from the rating conditions, especially the atmospheric conditions, will be compensated by the variable speed compressor, within certain limitations.
Heat pump systems function by exchanging energy, in the form of heat, between the indoor air and the outdoor ambient air (atmospheric). The system's net cooling or heating capacities and efficiencies change by atmospheric conditions, as well as the indoor air conditions (such as temperatures and humidity levels).
Capacity of the system required for a specific area or application must be determined professionally using detailed calculations, which are based on several internal and external factors.
To further optimize the performance of your unit, be sure to do the following: · Keep doors and windows closed. · Limit energy usage by using TIMER ON and TIMER OFF functions. · Do not block air inlets or outlets. · Regularly inspect and clean air filters.

Preparing the Refrigerant Piping of the Indoor Unit
The piping "pigtails" pre-attached to the indoor unit can be run in 3 different ways as shown in the illustration. Decide which type of configuration is most suitable before continuing.
By default, it is routed for a left side exit as shown in #1. This method can either use the left side knockout for a side exit, or a wall hole can be drilled on the left side of the unit's rear.
Routing it straight through the back of the system (#2) will facilitate the connections to the copper pipe extensions to be made outside. This is recommended to simplify the process.
#3 is a right-side exit, but is not recommended as it involves a 180° bend of the piping, which increases the risk of kinking or collapsing the lines dramatically. Bend slowly and cautiously.
If a side-exit is chosen, there are knock-out panels on either side of the unit that can be cut out along the groove to provide a notch for the pipe to exit from. Use a cutter to do this.
For the method chosen, run the piping in the direction of the wall hole. Bind the copper pipes, drain line, and power cables together with tape, with the drain pipe at the bottom so that water can flow freely. Ensure that the bundle is exiting at a continuous downward pitch.

Downward Inclination
CAUTION
· Do not remove the cap from the pipe until it is time to connect it, to avoid dampness or dirt from entering.
· If the pipe is bent/pulled too often, it will become stiff. Do not bend the pipe more than three times at one point. Be extremely careful not to kink any piping.
· When extending the coiled copper pipes, straighten them by unwinding gently, as shown in the picture.

3. Press the MODE button to scroll through the following functions, one at a time:
· COOL Select lowest possible temperature · HEAT Select highest possible temperature
4. Let each function run for 5 minutes, and perform the following checks:
PASS/FAIL?
No Electrical Leaks or Abnormal Noises
Water Drains from Drain Hose Properly
Unit is Properly Grounded
All Piping is Properly Insulated
All Electrical Terminals Properly Covered Indoor Unit Responds to Remote Controller
Indoor and Outdoor Units Securely Installed Indoor Unit Louvers Work Properly
All Pipe Connections Points Do Not Leak System Works in Both HEAT + COOL mode
AFTER TEST RUN COMPLETION
After the 10 boxes above have been checked as having PASSED, perform the following operation: 1. Using the remote control, return the system to a normal desired operating temperature. 2. Using insulation tape, wrap the indoor unit refrigerant pipe connections that were left uncovered
during the indoor unit installation process.
IF AMBIENT TEMPERATURES ARE TOO HIGH TO RUN A HEATING TEST:
If outside temperatures are too high to permit HEATING mode on the remote, do the following: 1. Turn the unit on and set it to HEAT mode using the emergency button as depicted on Page 8. 2. Run the heating mode test as normal, and turn the unit back off using the button when complete.
DOUBLE CHECK ALL PIPE CONNECTIONS During operation, the pressure of the refrigerant circuit will increase. This may reveal leaks that were not present during your initial leak check. Take time during the Test Run to double-check that all copper pipe connection points are leak-free. Refer to the Leak Check page for instructions. Cooling mode pressures should be 120-155 PSI. Heating mode pressures should be 320-440 PSI.

MALFUNCTION POSSIBLE CAUSES
If the appliance does not operate or respond...
If there are strange odors... If there's running water... If a fine mist is coming from the air outlet... If strange noises are being emitted...
There is a power failure/plug pulled out The indoor/outdoor unit fan motor was damaged There is a faulty compressor or thermomagnetic circuit breaker There is a faulty protective device or fuses The electrical connections are loose The system has entered a protection mode The system has entered an overvoltage or undervoltage protection The TIMER-ON function is active The electronic control board was damaged The air filter is dirty There was a backflow of liquid into the refrigerant circulation. This occurs when the air in the room becomes very cold, for example in "COOLING" or "DEHUMIDIFICATION/DRY" modes
This noise is made by the expansion or contraction of the front panel due to variations in temperature, and if so, is normal
If the airflow is insufficient, and the air is not hot or cold enough...
If the appliance does not respond to commands...
If the display is off...
The temperature setting is unsuitable The air conditioner intakes and outlets may be obstructed The air filter may be dirty The fan speed may be set at the minimum There may be too many other heat sources in the room The system may be getting low on refrigerant, pressures should be checked The remote control may not be close enough to the indoor unit The batteries of remote control may need to be replaced There are obstacles between remote control and indoor unit signal receiver The DISPLAY button has been pressed There has been a power failure
Switch off the air conditioner immediately and cut off the power supply in the event of...
Strange noises not due to expansion/contraction are heard during operation The electronic control board is faulty or malfunctioning Any fuses or switches are faulty or malfunctioning The sound of spraying water or objects are heard inside the appliance The cables or plugs have overheated There are very strong odors being emitted from the appliance
