3. Setup and Installation
The Gree Multi21+ system is designed for multi-zone applications, allowing individual temperature control in different areas of your property. The system consists of one outdoor condenser unit and four indoor ceiling cassette units.
3.1 Key Components
- Outdoor Condenser Unit: The main unit responsible for heat exchange.
- Indoor Ceiling Cassette Units (x4): Designed for discreet installation within suspended ceilings, providing quiet and efficient air distribution.
- Remote Controls (x4): For individual control of each indoor unit.
- Line Sets (Required, Not Included): Four sets of 1/4" x 3/8" line sets are required to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit.

4. Operating Instructions
Your Gree Multi21+ system offers flexible control over your indoor climate. Each ceiling cassette unit is controlled independently via its dedicated remote control.
4.1 Operating Modes
- Cooling Mode: Reduces the indoor temperature to your desired setting.
- Heating Mode: Increases the indoor temperature to your desired setting.
- Fan Mode: Circulates air without heating or cooling.
- Dry Mode: Reduces humidity in the air.
- Auto Mode: Automatically selects heating or cooling based on the ambient temperature and your set point.

4.2 G10 Inverter Technology
The G10 inverter technology ensures precise temperature control by continuously adjusting compressor speed, avoiding the frequent on/off cycles of conventional systems. This results in:
- Significant energy savings.
- Reduced outdoor unit noise levels.
- Consistent and stable room temperatures.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of your Gree Multi21+ system. Always turn off the power to the unit before performing any maintenance.
5.1 Filter Cleaning
The indoor ceiling cassette units are equipped with air purification filters. These filters should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, or more frequently depending on usage and air quality) to maintain optimal airflow and air quality. Refer to the specific indoor unit manual for detailed instructions on how to access and clean the filters.
5.2 Professional Servicing
It is recommended to have your system inspected and serviced by a licensed HVAC professional at least once a year. This includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting electrical connections, and ensuring all components are functioning correctly.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Gree Multi21+ system, consider the following basic troubleshooting steps before contacting a service professional:
- No Power: Check the circuit breaker for the unit. Ensure the unit is properly plugged in (if applicable) or wired.
- Not Cooling/Heating Effectively: Verify that the thermostat or remote control settings are correct (mode, temperature). Check if air filters are clean and not obstructed. Ensure outdoor unit is not blocked by debris.
- Unusual Noises: Minor operational noises are normal. If you hear loud or unusual noises, turn off the unit and contact a professional.
- Water Leakage: Check if the condensate drain line is clear and not clogged.
For any persistent issues or complex problems, always contact a licensed HVAC technician for diagnosis and repair.
