(See Figure 16)

Discharge the refrigerant system using a
Freon

TM

Recovery System.

If there is no valve to attach the recovery 
system, install one (such as a WATCO A-1)
before venting the Freon

TM

. Leave the valve in

place after servicing the system.

— Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.

1. When replacing the refrigeration cycle, be sure to

Discharge the refrigerant system using a Freon

TM

recovery System.
If there is no valve to attach the recovery system,
install one (such as a WATCO A-1) before venting
the Freon

TM

. Leave the valve in place after 

servicing the system.

2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the

desired component, and unbraze the pinch-off
tubes.

3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,

leaving the valves open.

4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.
5. Evacuate as follows.

1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure

17A.

2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold 

valves A and B with two full turns
counterclockwise and leave the valves open.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold

and entire system.

3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes, 

until 600 microns of vaccum is obtained. Close 
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for 
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would 
indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in
the system. With valves A and B closed, stop 

the vacuum pump.

4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and

place it on the charging cylinder. See figure
18B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.

5) The system is now ready for final charging.

6. Recharge as follows :

1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from

the High-side. If the total charge cannot be put 
in the High-side, the balance will be put in the 
suction line through the access valve which you 
installed as the system was opened.

2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure 

17B.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the
manifold connection.

3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to 

enter the system. Valve B is still closed.

4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not 

take it. Close valve A.

5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the 

balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-

side.

b. Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to 

rise to 30 lbs.

c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the 

charge is in the system.

6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly, 

use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running 
and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube 
cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from 
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder 
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to 
set for a while, and then test the leakage of the 
pinch-off connection.

If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack
valves A and B for a few minutes, then open
slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise.
This will keep oil from foaming and being
drawn into the vacuum pump.

1. Remove the cabinet. (Refer to section 2.1.2)
2. After discharging the refrigerant completely,

unbraze the interconnecting tube at the capillary
tube.(See caution above)

3. Remove the capillary tube.
4. Re-install the component by referring to notes.

1.To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit

in installed securely and firmly.

2.Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine

directly on the unit.

3.There should be no obstacle, such as a 

fence or wall, within 50cm from the back of the
cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the
condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the
cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

4.Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to leak

the condensed water into the room (about 10 ~
15mm or 1/4 bubble with level).

5.Install the unit with the bottom about 70 ~ 150cm

above the floor level.

The setting conditions must be checked prior to
initial starting.
The undermentioned items are especially important
checking points when the installation is finished.

1. Grounding wire (Green or Green and Yellow) is

provided in the power cord. The green wire must
be grounded.

2. Connect to a single-outlet 15AMP circuit.
3. To avoid vibration or noise, make sure the air

conditioner is installed securely.

4 Avoid placing furniture or draperies in front of the

air inlet and outlet.

The air conditioner must be installed level or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water drainage.
On exceptionally hot and humid days the air
conditioner may drain condensation through
overflow.
If the air conditioner is used in hot and a high

humidity zone, exchange the 

HOLE RUBBER

for the 

DRAIN PIPE.(See figure 19, figure 20.)

All side louvers of the cabinet must remain
exposed to the outside of the structure.
