Important Considerations
• The air conditioner must be installed by licenced professional and the Installation
manual is used only for the professional installation personnel! The installation
specifications should be subject to our after-sale service regulations.
• Take care, when filling the combustible refrigerant, incorrect handling may cause
serious injury or injuries to human body and objects.
• A leak test must be done after the installation completed.
• It is a must to do the safety inspection before maintaining or repairing an air conditioner
using combustible refrigerant to ensure that the fire risk is reduced to minimum.
• It is necessary to operate the machine under a controlled procedure to ensure that any
risk arising from the combustible gas or vapor during the operation is reduced to
minimum.
• Requirements for the total weight of filled refrigerant and the area of a room to be
equipped with an air conditioner (are shown as in the following Tables 1 and 2)
The maximum charge and the required minimum floor area:
m1 = (4 m3) x LFL, m2= (26 m3) x LFL, m3= (130 m3) x LFL
Where LFL is the lower flammable limit in kg/ m3, R32 LFL is 0.038 kg/ m3.
For the appliances with a charge amount m1< M = m2:
The maximum charge in a room shall be in accordance with the following:
mmax = 2.5 x (LFL)5/4 x h0x (A)1/2
The required minimum floor area Amin to install an appliance with refrigerant charge M (kg)
shall be in accordance with following: A = (M/ (2.5 x (LFL)5/4 x h0 )2

3. Installation Safety
• Refrigerant Leak Detector
• Appropriate Installation Location
Note:
• The installation site should be well-ventilated.
• The sites for installing and maintaining an air conditioner using Refrigerant R32 should
be free from open fire or welding, smoking, drying oven or any other heat source higher
than 548 which easily produces open fire.
• When installing an air conditioner, it is necessary to take appropriate anti-static
measures such as wear anti-static clothing and/or gloves.
• It is necessary to choose the site convenient for installation or maintenance wherein the
air inlets and outlets of the indoor and outdoor units should be not surrounded by
obstacles or close to any heat source or combustible and/or explosive environment.
• If the indoor unit suffers refrigerant leak during the installation, it is necessary to
immediately turn off the valve of the outdoor unit and all the personnel should go out
till the refrigerant leaks completely for 15 minutes. If the product is damaged, it is a
must to carry such damaged product back to the maintenance station and it is
prohibited to weld the refrigerant pipe or conduct other operations on the user's site.
• It is necessary to choose the place where the inlet and outlet air of the indoor unit is
even.
• It is necessary to avoid the places where there are other electrical products, power
switch plugs and sockets, kitchen cabinet, bed, sofa and other valuables right under
the lines on two sides of the indoor unit.
