XThe length of refrigerant pipe should be as short as possible and the height difference between an indoor unit and
outdoor unit should be minimized.
XThe piping length between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit may not exceed the allowable piping length, height
difference, and the allowable length after branching is done.
XThe pressure of the R410A is high. Use only certified refrigerant pipe and follow the installation method.
XAfter pipe installation, charge the refrigerant according to the length of the pipe and R410A refrigerant should be used.
XUse clean refrigerant pipe and there shouldn’t be any harmful ion, oxide, dust, iron content or moisture inside pipe.
XUse tools and accessories that fit on R410A only.
• When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When collecting the refrigerant, stop the compressor first before
WARNING removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor works
with the service valve open, the pipe inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of the refrigerant cycle
abnormally high. It may cause explosion and injury.
