NOTICE
When a pipe passes the hole, seal its opening by a sealing cap.
•
Insert sealing caps at the ends of the tubes or fasten tightly with ethylene belt. The pipes cannot be
•
placed on the ground directly.
When installing the refrigerant pipe, ensure that the distance between the straight pipe and the
•
panel is greater than 15.75 inches(400 mm). The pipe is parallel to the machine by adding a fixed
plate or other fixing methods.
4. Discharge and charge the refrigerant pipelines by following the Installation and Maintenance Manual
of the outdoor unit.
NOTICE
Excessive or insufficient refrigerant is the major reason for system abnormalities. Please fill in the
•
refrigerant with appropriate amount.
