Precautions forHandling Units forUsewithR410A
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping
Theoldrefrigerantand refrigeratoroilinthe existingpiping
containa large amount of chlorine, which willcausethe
refrigeratoroilinthe new unitto deteriorate.
R410Aisa high-pressure refrigerant, andthe useof the
existing pipingmayresultin bursting.
Keep the innerand outersurfacesof thepipescleanand
freeof contaminantssuchassulfur,oxides, dust/dirt shaving
particles,oils,andmoisture.
Contaminantsinside the refrigerantpiping will causethe
refrigerant oilto deteriorate.
Use avacuum pump with a reverse-flow checkvalve.
If othertypesof valvesareused, the vacuumpump oil will
flowback intotherefrigerantcycleandcausetherefrigerator
oiltodeteriorate.
Donot use the following toolsthat have been used withthe
conventionalrefrigerants.Preparetools that areforexclusive
usewithR410A.
(Gauge manifold, charging hose, gasleakdetector,
reverse-flow checkvalve, refrigerant chargebase,vacuum
gauge, and refrigerant recovery equipment.)
If refrigerant and/orrefrigerant oilleft on these toolsare
mixed inwith R410, orifwateris mixed with R410A,itwill
cause therefrigerant todeteriorate.
SinceR410Adoesnot containchlorine,gas-leakdetectors
forconventionalrefrigeratorswillnot work.
Storethe pipingto beused during installation indoors, and
keep both endsof the piping sealed untilimmediatelybefore
brazing.(keep elbowsand otherjointswrapped in plastic.)
If dust, dirt, orwaterenters the refrigerant cycle, it may
cause the oilin the unit todeteriorateormaycause the
compressorto malfunction.
Alargeamount of mineraloilwillcause the refrigerating
machine oiltodeteriorate.
Use a small amount of esteroil, etheroil, oralkylbenzene
to coatflaresand flange connections.
Use liquid refrigerant to charge thesystem.
Chargetheunitwith gasrefrigerant willcausetherefrigerant
in thecylinderto change itscompositionandwillleadto
adrop in performance
Donot usea charging cylinder.
The useof chargingcylinderwillchange the composition
of the refrigerant andlead to powerloss.
Exercise specialcarewhenhandling the tools.
Anintroduction of foreign objectssuchasdust, dirt or
waterinto the refrigerant cycle will cause the refrigerating
machineoilto deteriorate.
OnlyuseR410Arefrigerant.
The useof refrigerantscontainingchlorine(i.e. R22)will
cause therefrigerant todeteriorate.
Caution
Caution
Inthe event ofa refrigerant gasleak,provideadequate
ventilation tothe room.
If leaked refrigerantgasisexposedto aheatsource,noxious
gasesmayform.

Do nottryto defeat thesafetyfeaturesof the devices, and
do not change thesettings.

Wheninstalling theunit in a small room, safeguard against
hypoxiathatresultsfrom leakedrefrigerant reachingthe
threshold level.
Consult thedealerfornecessarymeasuresto take.
When relocating the airconditioner, consult the dealeror
a specialist.
Improperinstallationmayresultinwaterleak,electricshock,
orfire.
Aftercompleting theservicework, checkfora refrigerant
gasleak.
If leaked gasrefrigerant isexposed to a heat sourcesuch
asfan heater,stove,and electricgrill, noxiousgasesmay
form.
Onlyuse specifiedparts.
Have theunit professionallyinstalled. Improperinstallation
maycause waterleak, electricshock,smoke, orfire.
WithAll-Freshtype airconditioners, outdoorairmaybe
directlyblown into the roomuponthermo off. Take thisinto
considerationwheninstallingthe unit.
Direct exposureto outdoorairmaypresentahealth hazard,
and it mayalso cause food itemsto deteriorate.
Children should be supervisedto ensurethat theydo not
playwiththe appliance.
