- Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odor.
- Maximum refrigerant charge amount: APH10CE-14.82Oz
- The appliance shall be stored properly to prevent mechanical damages from occurring.
- Any person who is involved with working on or entering a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry-recognized assessment specification. Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
- Before beginning the work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed. All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by the control of flammable materials.
- The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during the work to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable environment. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants. Make sure it is adequately sealed or intrinsically safe and no spark will be produced during the work.
- If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
- No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal. During the work, flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Before the work, the area around the equipment should be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. "No Smoking" signs shall be displayed.
- Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before working upon the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall be guaranteed while the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
- Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and the current permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on in flammable environments. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.
- Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
- Check that cabling will not be affected by wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
- Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using open flames) shall not be used.
- Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may be inadequate, or may need re-calibrating. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the lower flammability limit (LFL) of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe work. If a leak is suspected, all open flames shall be removed/extinguished.
- If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerants shall be removed from the system, or isolated (by means of shut-off valves) in a part of the system which is remote from the leak. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.
- When entering the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose – conventional procedures shall be used. However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedures shall be adhered to:
- remove refrigerants;
- purge the circuit with inert gas;
- evacuate;
- purge again with inert gas;
- open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
- The refrigerant shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be “flushed” with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task. Flushing shall be achieved by filling the refrigerant system with OFN. Boost the pressure by filling OFN continuously until the working pressure is achieved, and then lower the pressure to release OFN. Repeat the steps until there is no refrigerant remains in the system. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is in the system. When the final OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure for work. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe-work are to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.
- In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
- Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
- Cylinders shall be kept upright.
- Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed before filling the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
- Before recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with OFN. The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but before the commissioning. A follow-up leak test shall be carried out before leaving the site.
- Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its details. It is recommended that all refrigerants are recycled safely. Before the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required before the re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
- a) Be familiar with the equipment and its operation.
- b) Isolate the system electrically.
- c) Before attempting the procedure, ensure that:
- --mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
- --all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;
- --the recovery process is supervised at all time by qualified personnel;
- --the recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
- d) Pump down the refrigerant system if possible.
- e) If a vacuum state can't be achieved during the vacuum-pumping process for the refrigerant system, install a manifold so that the refrigerant can be totally removed from various parts of the system. Make sure that the cylinder is leveled and balanced before recycling.
- f) The recycle and operation of the machine should be conducted in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
- g) Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80% of the liquid volume).
- h) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
- i) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
- Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
- When removing the refrigerant from a system, it is recommended that all refrigerants are removed safely either for servicing or for decommissioning. When transferring refrigerants into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders available to hold the total charge of the system. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and are labeled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated with shut-off valves in good working condition. Before recovery, empty the recovery cylinder and cool down if possible. The recovery equipment shall be in good working condition with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and it shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working condition. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and shall be in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in a satisfactory working condition and has been properly maintained. Ensure that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult the manufacturer if in doubt.
- The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain in the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out before returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be used to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

- Sachez que les réfrigérants peuvent ne pas contenir d'odeur.
- La quantité maximale de charge de réfrigérant : APH10CE-14.82Oz
- L'appareil doit être stocké de manière à éviter des dommages mécaniques.
- Toute personne impliquée dans le travail ou l'effraction d'un circuit de réfrigérant doit détenir un certificat en cours de validité délivré par une autorité d'évaluation accréditée par l'industrie, qui autorise sa compétence à manipuler les réfrigérants en toute sécurité conformément à une spécification d'évaluation reconnue par l'industrie. L'entretien ne doit être effectué que selon les recommandations du fabricant de l'équipement. L'entretien et les réparations nécessitant l'assistance d'un autre personnel qualifié doivent être effectués sous la supervision de la personne compétente dans l'utilisation des réfrigérants inflammables.
- Avant de commencer à travailler sur des systèmes contenant des réfrigérants inflammables, des contrôles de sécurité sont nécessaires pour s'assurer que le risque d'inflammation est minimisé. Les travaux doivent être entrepris selon une procédure contrôlée afin de minimiser le risque de présence de gaz ou de vapeurs inflammables pendant l'exécution des travaux. Tout le personnel d'entretien et les autres personnes travaillant dans la zone locale doivent être informés de la nature des travaux à effectuer. Le travail dans des espaces confinés doit être évité. La zone autour de l'espace de travail doit être délimitée. Assurez-vous que les conditions dans la zone ont été sécurisées par le contrôle des matières inflammables.
- La zone doit être vérifiée avec un détecteur de réfrigérant approprié avant et pendant le travail, pour s'assurer que le technicien est conscient des atmosphères potentiellement inflammables. Assurez-vous que l'équipement de détection des fuites utilisé est adapté à une utilisation avec des réfrigérants inflammables, c'est-à-dire sans étincelles, correctement scellés ou intrinsèquement sûrs.
- Si des travaux à chaud doivent être effectués sur l'équipement de réfrigération ou sur toute pièce associée, un équipement d'extinction d'incendie approprié doit être disponible. Disposez un extincteur à poudre sèche ou à CO² à côté de la zone de charge.
- Aucune personne effectuant des travaux en relation avec un système de réfrigération qui implique l'exposition d'une tuyauterie contenant ou ayant contenu un réfrigérant inflammable ne doit utiliser de sources d'inflammation pouvant entraîner un risque d'incendie ou d'explosion. Toutes les sources d'inflammation possibles, y compris la cigarette, doivent être maintenues suffisamment loin du site d'installation, de réparation, de retrait et d'élimination, au cours desquelles un réfrigérant inflammable peut éventuellement être libéré dans l'espace environnant. Avant le début des travaux, la zone autour de l'équipement doit être inspectée pour s'assurer qu'il n'y a pas de risques d'inflammabilité ou d'inflammation. Des panneaux « interdiction de fumer » doivent être affichés.
- Assurez-vous que la zone est à l'air libre ou qu'elle est suffisamment ventilée avant de pénétrer dans le système ou d'effectuer des travaux à chaud. Une certaine ventilation doit être maintenue pendant la durée des travaux. La ventilation doit disperser en toute sécurité tout réfrigérant libéré et de préférence l'expulser de l'extérieur dans l'atmosphère.
- N'appliquez aucune charge inductive ou capacitive permanente au circuit sans vous assurer que cela ne dépassera pas la tension et le courant autorisés pour l'équipement utilisé. Les composants à sécurité intrinsèque sont les seuls types sur lesquels on peut travailler en direct en présence d'une atmosphère inflammable. L'appareil d'essai doit être à la valeur nominale correcte. Remplacez les composants uniquement par des pièces spécifiées par le fabricant. D'autres pièces peuvent provoquer l'inflammation du réfrigérant dans l'atmosphère à la suite d'une fuite.
- Vérifiez que le câblage ne sera pas soumis à l'usure, à la corrosion, à une pression excessive, à des vibrations, à des arêtes vives ou à tout autre effet environnemental négatif. Le contrôle doit également prendre en compte les effets du vieillissement ou des vibrations continuelles provenant de sources telles que les compresseurs ou les ventilateurs.
- En aucun cas, des sources potentielles d'inflammation ne doivent être utilisées pour rechercher ou détecter des fuites de réfrigérant. Une torche aux halogénures (ou tout autre détecteur utilisant une flamme nue) ne doit pas être utilisée.
- Des détecteurs de fuites électroniques doivent être utilisés pour détecter les réfrigérants inflammables, mais la sensibilité peut ne pas être adéquate ou nécessiter un réétalonnage. (L'équipement de détection doit être étalonné dans une zone sans réfrigérant.) Assurez-vous que le détecteur n'est pas une source potentielle d'inflammation et qu'il est adapté au réfrigérant utilisé. L'équipement de détection des fuites doit être réglé à un pourcentage de la LFL du réfrigérant et doit être calibré en fonction du réfrigérant utilisé et le pourcentage approprié de gaz (25% maximum) est confirmé. Les fluides de détection de fuites conviennent à la plupart des réfrigérants, mais l'utilisation de détergents contenant du chlore doit être évitée car le chlore peut réagir avec le réfrigérant et corroder la tuyauterie en cuivre. Si une fuite est suspectée, toutes les flammes nues doivent être retirées/éteintes. Si une fuite de réfrigérant nécessitant un brasage est détectée, tout le réfrigérant doit être récupéré du système ou isolé (au moyen de vannes d'arrêt) dans une partie du système éloignée de la fuite. L'azote sans oxygène (OFN) doit ensuite être purgé à travers le système avant et pendant le processus de brasage.
- Lors de l'effraction du circuit frigorifique pour effectuer des réparations – ou à toute autre fin – des procédures conventionnelles doivent être utilisées. Cependant, il est important que les meilleures pratiques soient suivies car l'inflammabilité est une considération. La procédure suivante doit être respectée :
- enlever le réfrigérant;
- purger le circuit avec du gaz inerte;
- évacuer;
- purger à nouveau avec du gaz inerte;
- open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
- La charge de réfrigérant doit être récupérée dans les cylindres de récupération appropriés. Le système doit être << rincé >> avec OFN pour rendre l'unité sûre. Ce processus peut devoir être répété plusieurs fois. L'air comprimé ou l'oxygène ne doivent pas être utilisés pour cette tâche. Le rinçage doit être réalisé en brisant le vide dans le système avec OFN et en continuant à remplir jusqu'à ce que la pression de service soit atteinte, puis en évacuant dans l'atmosphère et enfin en tirant vers un vide. Ce processus doit être répété jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus de réfrigérant dans le système. Lorsque la charge OFN finale est utilisée, le système doit être ventilé jusqu'à la pression atmosphérique pour permettre le travail. Cette opération est absolument indispensable pour réaliser des opérations de brasage sur la tuyauterie. Assurez-vous que la sortie de la pompe à vide n'est pas à proximité de sources d'inflammation et qu'il y a une ventilation disponible.
- En plus des procédures de taxation conventionnelles, les exigences suivantes doivent être respectées.
- Assurez-vous que la contamination des différents réfrigérants ne se produit pas lors de l'utilisation de l'équipement de charge. Les tuyaux ou conduites doivent être aussi courts que possible pour minimiser la quantité de réfrigérant qu'ils contiennent.
- Les cylindres doivent être maintenus debout.
- Assurez-vous que le système de réfrigération est mis à la terre avant de charger le système avec du réfrigérant.
- Étiquetez le système lorsque la charge est terminée (si ce n'est déjà fait).
- Un soin extrême doit être pris pour ne pas trop remplir le système de réfrigération.
- Avant de recharger le système, il doit être testé sous pression avec OFN. Le système doit être testé contre les fuites à la fin de la charge mais avant la mise en service. Un test d'étanchéité de suivi doit être effectué avant de quitter le site.
- Avant d'effectuer cette procédure, il est essentiel que le technicien soit parfaitement familiarisé avec l'équipement et tous ses détails. Il est de bonne pratique recommandée que tous les réfrigérants soient récupérés en toute sécurité. Avant l'exécution de la tâche, un échantillon d'huile et de réfrigérant doit être prélevé au cas où une analyse serait requise avant la réutilisation du réfrigérant récupéré. Il est essentiel que l'alimentation électrique soit disponible avant de commencer la tâche.
- a) Familiarisez-vous avec l'équipement et son fonctionnement.
- b) Isoler le système électriquement.
- c) Avant de tenter la procédure, assurez-vous que:
- un équipement de manutention mécanique est disponible, si nécessaire, pour la manutention des bouteilles de fluide frigorigène ;
- tous les équipements de protection individuelle sont disponibles et utilisés correctement ;
- le processus de récupération est supervisé en tout temps par une personne compétente;
- les équipements de récupération et les bouteilles sont conformes aux normes appropriées.
- d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
- e) Si un vide n'est pas possible, créez un collecteur afin que le réfrigérant puisse être retiré de diverses parties du système. Assurez-vous que le cylindre est situé sur la balance avant de procéder à la récupération.Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
- f) Ne pas trop remplir les cylindres. (Pas plus de 80% de volume de charge liquide).
- g) Ne pas dépasser la pression maximale de service du vérin, même temporairement.
- h) Lorsque les bouteilles ont été correctement remplies et que le processus est terminé, assurez-vous que les bouteilles et l'équipement sont retirés du site rapidement et que toutes les vannes d'isolement de l'équipement sont fermées. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
- L'équipement doit être étiqueté indiquant qu'il a été mis hors service et vidé de son réfrigérant. L'étiquette doit être datée et signée. Assurez-vous qu'il y a des étiquettes sur l'équipement indiquant que l'équipement contient un réfrigérant inflammable.
- Lors de l'élimination du réfrigérant d'un système, que ce soit pour l'entretien ou la mise hors service, il est recommandé de faire en sorte que tous les réfrigérants soient éliminés en toute sécurité. Lors du transfert de réfrigérant dans des bouteilles, assurez-vous que seules des bouteilles de récupération de réfrigérant appropriées sont utilisées. Assurez-vous que le nombre correct de cylindres pour contenir la charge totale du système est disponible. Toutes les bouteilles à utiliser sont désignées pour le réfrigérant récupéré et étiquetées pour ce réfrigérant (c'est-à-dire des bouteilles spéciales pour la récupération du réfrigérant). Les bouteilles doivent être équipées d'une soupape de surpression et de vannes d'arrêt associées en bon état de fonctionnement. Les cylindres de récupération vides sont évacués et, si possible, refroidis avant la récupération. L'équipement de récupération doit être en bon état de fonctionnement avec un ensemble d'instructions concernant l'équipement à portée de main et doit être adapté à la récupération des fluides frigorigènes inflammables. De plus, un jeu de balances étalonnées doit être disponible et en bon état de fonctionnement. Les tuyaux doivent être équipés de raccords de déconnexion étanches et en bon état. Avant d'utiliser la machine de récupération, vérifiez qu'elle est en bon état de fonctionnement, qu'elle a été correctement entretenue et que tous les composants électriques associés sont scellés pour éviter toute inflammation en cas de fuite de fluide frigorigène. Consulter le fabricant en cas de doute.
- Le réfrigérant récupéré doit être retourné au fournisseur de réfrigérant dans le bon cylindre de récupération, et la note de transfert de déchets appropriée doit être rédigée. Ne pas mélanger les fluides frigorigènes dans les récupérateurs et surtout pas dans les bouteilles. Si des compresseurs ou des huiles de compresseur doivent être retirés, assurez-vous qu'ils ont été évacués à un niveau acceptable pour s'assurer que le réfrigérant inflammable ne reste pas dans le lubrifiant. Le processus d'évacuation doit être effectué avant le retour du compresseur aux fournisseurs. Seul le chauffage électrique du corps du compresseur doit être utilisé pour accélérer ce processus. Lorsque l'huile est vidangée d'un système, elle doit être effectuée en toute sécurité.

SAFETY PROTECTIONS
- Water-full safety alarm and shut-off protection function When the water volume exceeds its alarm level in chassis, warning sounds will ring automatically and the water-full icon will light up on the display. You need to drain the water and restart the unit (for more information about how to drain, refer to the "Drainage Instruction" please). If the unit is not shut down manually, it will return to the original operating status automatically once the water is fully drained. Or you can connect the power to restart the unit.
- Anti-frozen protection function Under COOLING mode, when the compressor continuously runs over 10 minutes and if the tube temperature is ≤2℃ /36°F for 20 seconds, the anti-frozen protection function will be on, E4 will be shown on LED display, and the compressor and water wheel motor will stop working, but the upper fan will remain running; if the tube temperature ≥8°C/46 °F, the unit will stop anti-frozen protection and return to the original working condition. Compressor will restart after 3 minutes' delay for protection.
- Delay protection function of the compressor This unit offers re-start protection to compressor. Except that the compressor may start immediately when the unit is energized first time, there is a 3-minute delay of the re-start protection when the compressor restarts after it stops running.
- Coil and room temperature sensor failure:
- Detect sensor failure at the beginning of power-on or during the power-on state
- When a sensor failure is detected at the beginning of power-on, it will immediately enter the failure state. If it returns to normal at this time, it will enter the standby state;
USE THE AIR CONDITIONER
IMPORTANT: If the air conditioner has been tilted on its side, wait 24 hours before turning on the air conditioner to allow the oil to return to the compressor. This will prevent the air conditioner from failing prematurely.
- Hold the handles on side panels to move the unit in upright position.
- NOTE: Do not hold the louver.
- Make the unit in the upright position whenever handling or moving it.
- Drain the water in the unit completely before handling or moving the unit to prevent water leakage wetting the floor or carpet.
DRAIN THE INTERNAL WATER
You will need a small pan to catch the water coming out of the water tank. Once the water tank is empty, the unit will resume operation within a few minutes.
MANUAL DRAINAGE
- Once the unit shuts down upon water-full, turn off the unit and then unplug.
- Put the tray below the water outlet at the back of the unit.
- Unscrew the drain cover, and unplug the water stopper to allow the water flow into the tray.
- Insert the stopper and screw the drain cover tightly onto the water outlet after drainage.
Note: Protect the drain cover and the water stopper properly. It is necessary to move the unit carefully to avoid leakage. Tilt the unit slightly backwards when draining. Block the drain hole as soon as possible before the tray is full, if it cannot hold all water in the unit, to prevent the water leakage and prevent the floor or carpet from getting wet. Water stopper and drain cover must be tightly installed to avoid the new condensate wetting the floor or carpet when the unit starts working again.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
- Unscrew the drain cover & unplug the water stopper.
- Connect drain-hole with Ø0.5 inch drain hose as deep as possible to avoid leakage.
- NOTE: If you need the plastic drainage pipe, please purchase one with its internal diameter 0.5 inch and its length according to the need.
- Pull the drain hose to bathroom or outdoor.
Note: Drain hose must be installed when there's no water in the tray. It is suggested not to operate continuous drainage when the unit is in COOL mode to ensure enough water recycle in the unit to enhance the cooling effects. It is suggested to adopt continuous drainage when the unit is in HEAT mode to avoid frequent drainage. Put the drain hose in an inaccessible place, not higher than the drainage hole and keep the drain hose straight without any bends. Keep the drain cover and its stopper properly when continuous drainage is adopted.
