1. Installation
1-1 Refrigerant Refill Procedure
¥ Refill an air-conditioner with refrigerant when refrigerant has been leaked at installing or using
1. Purge air(for new installation only).
3. Connect the tank to refill with Refrigerant
4. Set the unit to cool operation mode.
7. Stop operation of the air conditioner.
9. Close the cap of each valve.
2. Turn the 3-way valve clockwise to close, connect the
pressure gauge(low pressure side) to the service valve,
and open the 3-way valve again.
5. Check the pressure indicated by the pressure
gauge(low pressure side).
* Standard pressure is should be 4.5~5.5kg/cm2in a
reqular, high operation mode.
6. Open the refrigerant tank and fill with refrigerant until
the rated pressure is reached.
* It is recommended not to pour the refrigerant in too
quickly, but gradually while operating a pressure valve.
8. Close the 3-way valve, disconnect the pressure
gauge, and open the 3-way valve again.

1-2 “Pump down” Procedure
Relocation of the air conditioner
¥ Refer to this procedure when the unit is
relocated.
1. Carry out the pump down procedure
(refer to the details of 'pump down').
2. Remove the power cord.
3. Disconnect the assembly cable from the
indoor and outdoor units.
4. Remove the flare nut connecting the
indoor unit and the pipe.
At this time, cover the pipe of the indoor
unit and the other pipe using a cap or
vinyl plug to avoid foreign material enter-
ing.
5. Disconnect the pipe connected to the out-
door unit.
At this time, cover the valve of the out-
door unit and the other pipe using a cap
or vinyl plug to avoid foreign material
entering.
6. Make sure you do not bend the connection
pipes in the middle and store together
with the cables.
7. Move the indoor and outdoor units to a
new locatioon.
8. Remove the mounting plate for the indoor
unit and move it to a new location.
Pump down' shall be carried out when an evaporator is replaced or when the unit is relocated in
another area.
1. Remove the caps from the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.
3. Set the unit to cool operation mode.
(Check if the compressor is operating.)
5. When the pressure gauge indicates "0" turn the 3-way valve
clockwise to close.
4. Turn the 2-way valve clockwise to close.
6. Stop operation of the air conditioner.
7. Close the cap of each valve.
2 Turn the 3-way valve clockwise to close and connect
a pressure gauge(low pressure side) to the service valve,
and open the 3-way valve again.

3. Troubleshooting
3-1 Items to be checked first
1) The input voltage should be rating voltage 610% range.
The airconditioner may not operate properly if the voltage is out of this range.
2) Is the link cable linking the indoor unit and the outdoor unit linked properly?
The indoor unit and the outdoor unit shall be linked by 6 cables.
Check the terminals if the indoor unit and outdoor unit are properly linked by the same number of
cables.
Otherwise the airconditioner may not operate properly.
3) When a problem occurs due to the contents illustrated in the table below it is a symptom not related to
the malfunction of the airconditioner.
4) Indoor unit observes operation condition of the air conditioner, and displays self diagnosis details
on the display panel.
NO Operation of air conditioner
1 The STD operation indication LED blinks when a
power plug of the indoor unit is plugged in for the first time.
2 In a COOL operation mode, the compressor does not
operate at a room temperature higher than the setting
temperature that the INDOOR FAN should operate.
3 Fan speed setting is not allowed in AUTO or DRY mode.
4 Compressor stops operation intermittently in DRY mode.
5 The compressor stops intermittently in a COOL mode or DRY
mode, and fan speed of the indoor unit decreases.
It indicates power is on. The LED stops blinking if the operation
ON/OFF button on the remote control unit is pushed.
In happens after a delay of 3 minutes when the compressor is
reoperated. The same phenomenon occurs when a power is on.
As a phenomenon that the compressor is reoperated after a delay of
3 minutes, the indoor fan is adjusted automatically with reference
to a temperature of the air blew
The speed of the indoor fan is set to LL in DRY mode.
Fan speed is 5 steps is selected automatically in AUTO mode.
Compressor operation is controlled automatically in DRY mode
depending on the room temperature and humidity.
The compressor stops intermittently or the fan speed of the indoor
unit decreases to prevent inside/outside air frozen depending on the
inside/outside air temperature.
