Safety precautions FOR POWER SUPPLY WARNING Plug the power plug into the wall socket in the right direction so that the cord runs towards the floor. If you plug the power plug into the socket in the opposite direction, the electric wires within the cable may be damaged and this may result in electric shock or fire. When the appliance or power plug or power cord is damaged, contact your nearest service center. Plug the power plug into the wall socket firmly.
FOR USING WARNING If any foreign substance such as water has entered the appliance, cut the power by unplugging the power plug and turning the circuit breaker off and then contact your nearest service center. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the appliance yourself. Do not use any fuse (such as cooper, steel wire, etc.)other than the standard fuse.

Safety precautions Installing the unit IMPORTANT: When installing the unit, always remember to connect first the refrigerant tubes, then the electrical lines. Always disassemble the electric lines before the refrigerant tubes. Upon receipt, inspect the product to verify that it has not been damaged during transport.
Outdoor Unit Where it is not exposed to strong wind Well ventilated and dustless places Out of the direct sunlight and rain Where neighbors are not annoyed by operation sound or hot air Solid wall or support that prevents vibration and is strong enough to hold the product weight Where there is no risk of flammable gas leakage When installing the unit at a high place be sure to fix the unit legs 3m or more away from the TV or radio (to prevent the screen from being distorted or noise f

Accessories Tools required for installation General Tools • Vacuum Pump(Backward flowing prevention) • Torque Wrench • Pipe Cutter • Reamer • Screw Driver • Spanner • Drill • Manifold Gauge • Pipe Bender • L Wrench • Stud Finder • Spirit Level • Measuring Tape Tools for test operations • Thermometer • Resistance Meter • Electroscope Fixing the installation plate You can select the direction of the drain hose depending on where you want to install the indoor unit.
Connecting the assembly cable Cable specification Model Interconnection cable AS12C 3G, Not less than 1.5mm² AS18C 3G, Not less than 2.5mm² AS12D 3G, Not less than 1.5mm² AS18D 3G, Not less than 1.5mm² AS24D 3G, Not less than 2.5mm² • Connect the power cable to the auxiliary circuit breaker. If every pole fails to connect to the power supply, it must be incorporated in a wire with a contact opening of ≥3mm. • For each model use specied cable only as written in below table.
Connecting the assembly cable 9. Connect the cables to the terminals as seen in the picture. • Each wire is labeled with the corresponding terminal number. Indoor unit AS12/18 AS24 Indoor unit Indoor unit N E E Outdoor unit Ground wire (Green/Yellow) E L E Ground wire (Green/Yellow) E Ground wire (Green/Yellow) E Outdoor unit E Ground wire (Green/Yellow) E Outdoor unit • End of the wire must be circular.
Installing and connecting the assembly pipe of the indoor unit Connect indoor and outdoor units with field-supplied copper pipes by means of flare connections. Use insulated seamless refrigeration grade pipe only, (Cu DHP type according to ISO1337), degreased and deoxidized, suitable for operating pressures of at least 4200 kPa and for burst pressure of at least 20700 kPa. Under no circumstances must sanitary type copper pipe be used.
Purging the indoor unit The indoor unit is supplied with inert gas (nitrogen). Before installing the unit, check if nitrogen gas flow out of indoor unit. If this one isn’t true, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT since leakage could be inside the indoor unit. 1. Unscrew the caps at the end of each pipe. All inert gas exhausts from the indoor unit. • To prevent dirt or foreign substances from getting into the pipes during installation, do NOT remove the caps completely until you are ready to connect the pipes.
5. Check if you flared the pipe correctly (see examples of incorrectly flared pipes below). Correct Inclined Damaged Surface Cracked Uneven Thickness 6. Align the pipes to connect them easily. Tighten the flare nuts first with your hands, and then with a torque wrench, applying the following torque: Outer Diameter ø6.35 mm ø9.52 mm ø12.70 mm ø15.88 mm ø19.05 mm ø22.
Installing and connecting the drain hose of the indoor unit Drain hose installation 1. If necessary, connect the 2-meter extension drain hose to the drain hose. 2. If you use the extension drain hose, insulate the inside of the extension drain hose with a shield. 3. Fit the drain hose into 1 of 2 drain hose holes, then fix the end of the drain hose tightly with a clamp. • If you do not use the other drain hose hole, block it with a rubber stopper. 4.
Purging the connected pipes The outdoor unit is loaded with sufficient R22 refrigerant. Do not vent R22 into atmosphere: it is a fluorinated greenhouse gas. You should purge the air in the indoor unit and in the pipe. If air remains in the refrigerant pipes, it affects the compressor. It may cause reduction of cooling capacity and malfunction. Refrigerant for air purging is not charged in the outdoor unit. Use Vacuum Pump as seen in the picture. • When installing, make sure there is no leakage.
Purging the connected pipes Adding Refrigerant Add refrigerant charge according to table below: If you use a pipe longer than 4m, ‘A’g of refrigerant R22 must be added for each extra meter. Model A 12 20 If you use a pipe shorter than 4m, 18 20 The purge time is normal. 24 25 Refer to the Service Manual for further details. • The remaining air in the Refrigeration cycle, which contains moisture, may cause malfunction on the compressor.
Fixing AA the indoor unit in place Perform the following work on the area where gas leak test was done priorly. After checking for gas leaks in the system, insulate the pipe, hose and cables. Then place the indoor unit on the installation plate. Insulation 1. To avoid condensation problems, wrap foam insulation (as shown in the figure) on a part without insulation on the end of the pipes. Pipes 2. Wind the pipe, assembly cable and drain hose with vinyl tape. 3.
Final Check and Trial Operation To complete the installation, perform the following checks and tests to ensure that the air conditioner operates correctly. Check the followings: • Strength of the installation site • Tightness of pipe connection to detect gas leak • Electric wiring connection • Heat-resistant insulation of the pipe • Drainage • Grounding conductor connection • Correct operation (follow the steps below) 1.
