Note:
In case of adding refrigerant, comply with the quantity specified for the refrigerating
cycle.
Caution:
• Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during
installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant circuit.
• For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas
cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may
occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the outdoor unit. In this case,
ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can be
impossible. However, charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause
the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.
To maintain the high pressure of the gas cylinder, warm the gas cylinder with warm
water (under 40°C) during cold season. But never use naked fire or steam.
