Getting To Know Your
Air Conditioner
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Split System Air Conditioner.
Before the fi rst use of your new Mistral unit, it
is most important that you read and follow the
instructions in this Use & Care booklet, even if
you feel you are quite familiar with this type of
appliance. Find a place and keep this booklet
handy for future reference. Attention is particularly
drawn to the section dealing with “IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS”.
This appliance has been designed to operate from
a standard 10AMP/15AMP outlet. It is not intended
for industrial or commercial use.
Hints for Economical Operation
• Clean air fi lter. A clogged air fi lter reduces
cooling effi ciency and should be cleaned once
every two weeks.
• Avoid opening doors and windows more often
than necessary.
• Window curtains. When heating or cooling,
close the curtains.
This will prevent counteracting cooling effect in
summer and will reduce heat loss in winter.
• Use the timer effectively.
Set the timer for the
desired operating time.
• Try to create a uniform circulation of room air.
Adjust air fl ow direction for even circulation of
room air.

the air conditioner.
Sound of accumulated water dropping on the
heat-exchanger.
The sound of melting frost on heat-exchanger.

unit does not affect neighbour’s comfort.
• Firmly mount on rack, to reduce noise
and vibration.
• Avoid places close to infl ammable gas leakage.
• Unit must be mounted fi rmly when installed high
up.
• Avoid exposure to strong wind.
16

CONNECTING PIPE WORK
CONNECTING PIPE WORK
1. NOTE:
• The drain must be arranged beneath the
copper pipe.
• The drain hose must not be hunched or bent.
• When the drain hose runs through the house,
it should be wrapped with special heat
insulated materials.
• The copper pipe and the drain hose must be
wrapped by felt strip. Heat insulated pad should
be used in the place that the pipe contacts the
wall.
2. ROUTE OF PIPE:
• If pipe came out of the right side of the indoor
unit, cut part “1” on the unit.
• If pipe came out of the lower-right side of the
indoor unit, cut part “2” on the unit.
• If pipe came out of the left side of the indoor
unit, cut part “3” on the unit.
3. REFIT OF DRAIN HOSE
• If pipe comes out of the left side of the indoor
unit, the drain hose must be refi tted otherwise
water leakage
may occur.
• Refi t methods: Interchange the position of
drain hose and drain rubber bib, the right
diagram is normal position.
• Clearance is not possible after refi tting as it
leads to
water leakage.
18
INSTALLATION OF INDOOR UNIT
• Let pipe go through the wall hole and attach
the indoor unit to the mounting plate.
(Locate the rib of the indoor unit in the hole of
the mounting plate.)
THE CONNECTION OF PIPE
• The number of bends in the pipe of the indoor
unit should not exceed 10. The number of bends
in the pipe of the indoor unit and outdoor unit
should not exceed 15.
• The radius of bends should be more than 10cm.
A layer of air proof oil should be coated on the
joint before the pipe has been connected. Align
the axis of each pipe and tighten screw nut with
a spanner (see the right diagram).
ARRANGEMENT OF DRAIN HOSE
• To eject the condensated water easily, the drain hose should be positioned downward.
The arrangement in diagrams 2-5 are wrong.
• If the drain hose connected with the indoor
unit is short, it may be extended by the hose
in the accessory box.
• When the drain hose must be run through
the house, it should be wrapped by the
special heat insulated materials.
SEALING OF WALL HOLE AND
FASTENING
OF PIPE
• Use putty to seal the wall hole.
• Use clamp (pipe fastener) to secure the pipe
at specifi ed position.
19
INSTALL THE DRAIN JOINT
(heat pump type only)
• Install the double-channel drain joint in the
hole on the bottom of the outdoor unit’s
bottom, then connect drain hose and joint.
CONNECT CONNECTING PIPE
• Wipe the air sealing oil on the closing valve
and the trump extended pipe; Screw down
the nut of connecting pipe with the wrench.
(the torque is as the indoor unit)
DISCHARGING THE AIR WITHIN THE UNITS:
• Unscrew cap for closing valve gas charging
hole.
• Open the closing valve with Allen key (turn
90˚ clockwise), then push in the gas charging
hole for about 10 seconds, (Until a gas like
fog appears, this indicates the air within unit
is fully discharged.)
• Screw down the screw cap of the gas
charging hole.
• Test for leaks with leak detector or soapy
water.
ADD REFRIGERANT
• If the connecting pipe is longer than 7 meters, add refrigerant as needed.
(Heat pump type) A=(Lm-7m)x50g/m. (A: add refrigerant amount, L: the length of connecting pipe)
• Connect the refrigerant gas bottle with the gas charging hole;
(do not screw down the nut of the gas closing valve’s end.)
• Open the bottle’s valve of storage refrigerant, discharge the air of units with refrigerant;
• When gas like fog appears, indicating the air of unit is discharged, screw down the nut;
• Add refrigerant with the spring balance.
TEST
TEST
• Start leak test (with leak detector or soapy water) and inspect connecting cables before testing
operation. Test procedure: (Control unit by emergency operation switch or remote controller)
