User & Installation Manual

User Notice
When operating, the entire capacity of the cooperating indoor unit should be not
larger than 150% of outdoor unit. Otherwise, it will cause the shortage of cooling
(heating) capacity.
The total capacityof the indoor units which runs at the same time can not exceed
150% of that of the outdoor units, otherwise, the cooling (heating) effect of each
indoor unit would be poor.
Switch the main power on 8 hours beforestarting the unit, helpful for a successful
startup.
A Breaker (or fuse) need to be installed in every indoor unit, and the capacity
should in according with indoor unit’s electrical parameter; all the indoor units are
required to be centralized controlled by a total Switch, this Switch can cut off the
electric power supplyin case of emergency. The Breaker (or fuse) on each indoor
units have the function ofshort circuit prevention and abnormal overload avoiding,
it should be connected in normal situation. The total switch controlling the power
supply of all the indoor units. Before clearing and maintenance job being carried
out to the indoor units, it is veryimportant to turn off the total power supplyswitch.
In order to turn on the units successfully, the main powerswitchshould beopened
8 hours before the operation.
After receiving the turn off signal, every indoor unit will continue to work for
20-70sec to make useof the rest cool airor the rest heat airin the heat exchanger,
while preparing for the next operation. And this is normal.
When the selected operating mode of the indoor unit are clash with the operating
mode of the outdoor unit, the malfunction light will blink after 5s on the indoor unit
or remote controllershowing that the operation clash, then the indoor unit willstop.
At this time, change the operation mode of the indoor unit to the one that would
not clash with the outdoor operating mode to make the operation normal. The
cooling mode is not clash with the dry mode, while the fan mode is not clash with
anymode.
The appliance shall not be installed in the laundry

according to the guide in this manual.
Please take specially note to the meaning of these two marks:
Warning !: This mark means that it may cause casualty or badly heart if the
operation is incorrect.
Note!: This mark means that it may cause casualty or property loss if the
operation is incorrect.
Warning :
Do not adopt fuse with unsuitable capacity or adopt iron thread instead of fuse,
otherwise malfunction or fire may happened.
Cut down the main power switch immediately if malfunction (such as smell the
burning odor etc.) happened.
Maintain ventilation to prevent oxygen leakage in room.
Don’t insert nger orsticklike things into discharge vent or outlet grill.
Please make sure that the unit is installed in the place that can bear the weight
of it adequately. If the place is not strong enough, the air cond itioner may drop and
cause casualty event.
Don’t spray or smear any oil paint or insecticide on the surface of unit,
otherwise, fire may be leaded.
Do not refit the conditioner. Please contact the agency or prefect ional
personnel to repair or move the conditioner.
An all-pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all
poles should be connected in fixed wiring.
Note !:
①. Please check and make sure that the cord, drainage pipe and tubes are
connected in the correct way to prevent leakage of water, refrigerant, electric
shock or fire.
②. The main power must connectable to the earth in order to assure the
conditioner earthing e ectively and to prevent electric shock. Please don’t
connect the earthing line with the gas pipe, water pipe, lightening rod or the
connecting line of telephone.

2 Install of The Cassette Type Indoor Unit
2.1 Schematic diagram of installation spaces
Fig. 2.1
2.2 Select install location of the indoor unit
(1) Obstruct should put away from the intake or outlet vent of the indoor unit so
that the airflow can be blown though all the room.
(2) Make sure that the installation had accord with the requirement of the
schematic diagram of installation spaces.
(3) Select the place where can stand 4 times of the weight of the indoor unit and
would not increase the operating noise and oscillate.
X3I AS35HL

(4) The horizontally of the installation place should be guaranteed.
(5) Select the place where easy drain condensated coagulated water, and easy
connect with outdoor unit.
(6) Make sure that there are enough space for care and maintenance. Make sure
that the weight between the indoor unit and ground is above 2500mm.
(7) When installing the steeve bolt, check if the install place can stand the weight
4times of the unit’s. If not, reinforce before installation. (Refer tothe install
cardboard and find where should be reinforced)
Note! There will be lots of lampblack and dust stick on the acentric, heat
exchanger and water pump in dining room and kitchen, which would reduce the
capacity of heat e xchanger, lead water leakage and abnormal operation of the water
pump. The following treatment should be taken underthis circumstance:
(1) Ensure that the smoke trap above cooker has enough capacity to obviate
lampblack to prevent the indraft of the lampblack by the air conditioner.
(2) Keep the air conditionerfar from the kitchen so that the lampblack would not
be indraft by the air conditioner.
2.3 Important notice
(1) To guarantee the good performance, the unit must be installed by professional
personnel according with this instruction.
(2) Please contact the local Gree special nominated repair department before
installation. Any malfunction caused by the unit that is installed by the
department that is not special nominated by Gree would not deal with on time
by the inconvenience of the business contact.

2.5 Main body of hoisting air conditioner
(1) The primary step for install the indoor unit.
When attach the hoisting stand on hoisting screw, d o use nut and gasket
individually at the upper and lower of the hoisting stand to fix it. The use of gasket
anchor board can prevent gasket break off.
(2) Use install cardboard
Please refer to the install cardboard about the dimension of ceiling opening.
The central mark of the ceiling opening is marked on the install cardboard.
Install the install cardboard on the unit by bolt (3 piece), and fix the angle of the
drainage pipe at the outlet vent by bolt.
(3) Adjust the unit to the suitable install place. (Refer to the Fig. 2.3)
(4) Check if the unit is horizontal.
Inner drainage pump and bobber switch are included in the indoor unit, check if
4 angle of every unit are horizontal by water lever. (If the unit is slant toward the
opposite of the coagulate water flow, there may be malfunction of the bobber switch
and lead water drop.)
(5) Backout the gasket anchor board used to prevent gasket break off and tighten
the nut on it.
(6) Backout the install cardboard.

Note! Please do tighten the nuts and bolts to prevent air conditioner break off.
2.6 Connection of the refrigerant pipe
When connect the pipe to the unit or backout it from the unit, please do use
both spanner and torque wrench. as shown in Fig. 2.5.
When connect, smear both inside and outside of the flare nut with freeze motor
oil, screw it by hand and then tighten it with spanner.
Refer to Table 2.1 to check if the wrench had been tightened (too tight would
mangle the nut and lead leakage).
Examine the connection pipe to see if it had gas leakage, then take the
treatment of heat insulation, as shown in the Fig. 2.5.
Only use median sponge to entwine the wiring interface of the gas pipe and
heat preservation sheath of the gas collection tube.

2.7 Drainage hose
(1) Install the drain hose
The diameter of the drain hose should be equal or bigger than the connection
pipe’s.
Drain hose should be short and drooping gradient should at less 1/100 to
prevent the formation of air bubble.
If drain hose cannot has enough drooping gradient, drain raising pipe should be
added.
To prevent bent of the drain hose, the distance between hoisting stand should is
1 to 1.5m.
Fig. 2.6
Use the drain hose and clamp attached. Insert the drain hose to the drain vent,
and then tighten the clamp.
Entwine the big sponge on the clamp of drain hose to insulate heat.
Heat insulation should be done to indoor drain hose.

Drain stepup pipe note
The install height of the drain raising pipe should less than 280mm.
The drain raising pipe should form a right angle with the unit, and distance to
unit should not beyond 300mm.
Fig. 2.8
Instruction
The slant gradient of the attached drain hose should be within 75mm so that the
drain hole doesn’t has to endure the unnecessaryoutside force.
Fig. 2.9
Please install the drain hose according to the following process if several drain
hoses join together.
