1. Transport of equipment containing flammable refrigerants: Compliance with the transport regulations.
2. Marking of equipment using signs: Compliance with local regulations.
3. Disposal of equipment using flammable refrigerants: Compliance with national regulations.
4. Storage of equipment/appliances: Storage should be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Storage of packed (unsold) equipment: Package protection should prevent mechanical damage that could cause a refrigerant leak. Maximum number of pieces of equipment stored together determined by local regulations.
6. Information on servicing:
   • Checks to the area: Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to minimize ignition risk. For repair to the refrigerating system, follow precautions before conducting work.
   • Work procedure: Undertake work under a controlled procedure to minimize the risk of flammable gas or vapor presence.
   • General work area: Instruct all maintenance staff and others on the work being carried out. Avoid work in confined spaces. Section off the workspace. Ensure conditions are safe by controlling flammable material.
   • Checking for presence of refrigerant: Check the area with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work. Ensure leak detection equipment is suitable for flammable refrigerants (non-sparking, sealed, or intrinsically safe).
   • Presence of fire extinguisher: Have appropriate fire extinguishing equipment available for hot work. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
   • No ignition sources: Do not use any sources of ignition when exposing pipework containing flammable refrigerant. Keep all possible ignition sources (including smoking) far from the site. Display "No Smoking" signs.
   • Ventilated area: Ensure the area is open or adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting hot work. Ventilation should continue during work to safely disperse released refrigerant.
   • Checks to the refrigeration equipment: Replace electrical components with correct specification parts. Follow manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines. Consult the manufacturer's technical department if in doubt. Checks for installations using flammable refrigerants include: charge size vs. room size, ventilation machinery operation, secondary circuit checks (if indirect), and visibility/legibility of markings. Check refrigeration pipe/component materials for corrosion resistance.
   • Checks to electrical devices: Initial safety checks and component inspection procedures for repairs. If a fault compromises safety, disconnect power until corrected. If temporary solution is needed, report to owner. Initial safety checks include: capacitor discharge (safely), ensuring no exposed live electrical components during servicing, and earth bonding continuity.
7. Repairs to sealed components: Disconnect all electrical supplies before removing sealed covers. If electrical supply is necessary during servicing, use permanently operating leak detection. Pay attention to ensure casing is not altered affecting protection level (damage to cables, excessive connections, incorrect terminals, seals, glands). Ensure apparatus is mounted securely. Ensure seals prevent ingress of flammable atmospheres.
8. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
9. Repairs to intrinsically safe components: Do not apply permanent inductive or capacitance loads without ensuring they do not exceed permissible voltage and current. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. Test apparatus must be correctly rated. Replace components only with manufacturer-specified parts.
10. Cabling: Check cabling for wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or adverse environmental effects. Consider aging and continuous vibration.
11. Detection of flammable refrigerants: Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used for detecting refrigerant leaks. A halide torch or any other detector using a naked flame shall not be used.
12. Leak detection methods: Electronic leak detectors are acceptable, but sensitivity may need calibration. Ensure detectors are not ignition sources and are suitable for the refrigerant. Set detectors to a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and calibrate. Leak detection fluids are suitable, but avoid detergents containing chlorine. If a leak is suspected, remove/extinguish all naked flames. If brazing is required, recover all refrigerant or isolate it, purge the system with oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN) before and during brazing.
13. Removal and evacuation: When breaking into the refrigerant circuit, follow conventional procedures but adhere to best practices for flammable refrigerants. Procedures include: safely removing refrigerant per regulations, purging the circuit with inert gas, evacuation (optional for A2L), purging with inert gas (optional for A2L), opening the circuit. Recover refrigerant into correct cylinders if venting is not allowed. Purge appliances containing flammable refrigerants with oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN) to make them safe. This may need repetition. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used. Purging should be achieved by breaking the vacuum with OFN, filling to working pressure, venting, and pulling to a vacuum (optional for A2L). Repeat until no refrigerant remains (optional for A2L). Ensure vacuum pump outlet is not near ignition sources and ventilation is available.
14. Charging procedures: Follow conventional procedures and additional requirements: ensure no refrigerant contamination, use shortest hoses possible, keep cylinders upright, earth the system prior to charging, label the system when charging is complete, and do not overfill. Pressure test with OFN before recharging. Leak test after charging but before commissioning. Perform a follow-up leak test before leaving the site.
15. Decommissioning: For professional technicians only. Familiarize yourself with the equipment. Recover all refrigerants safely. Take oil and refrigerant samples if analysis is required. Ensure electrical power is available. Procedures include: familiarization, electrical isolation, ensuring mechanical handling equipment, PPE, supervision by a competent person, and conforming recovery equipment/cylinders. Pump down system if possible. If vacuum is not possible, use a manifold. Ensure cylinder is on scales before recovery. Operate recovery machine per instructions. Do not overfill cylinders (max 80% volume liquid charge). Do not exceed cylinder maximum working pressure. Promptly remove filled cylinders and equipment from site, closing all isolation valves. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another system unless cleaned and checked.
16. Labelling: Label equipment stating it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant (for technicians only), including date and signature. Ensure labels state equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
17. Recovery: When removing refrigerant for servicing or decommissioning, remove refrigerants safely. Use appropriate recovery cylinders. Ensure enough cylinders for the total charge. Cylinders must be designated and labelled for the specific refrigerant. Cylinders must have a pressure relief valve and shut-off valves. Empty recovery cylinders should be evacuated and cooled before recovery. Recovery equipment must be in good working order, with instructions, and suitable for flammable refrigerants. Calibrated weighing scales must be available. Hoses must have leak-free disconnect couplings. Check recovery machine is in satisfactory working order, properly maintained, and electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition.
18. Consult manufacturer if in doubt. Opening of refrigeration systems shall not be done by brazing. Recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, with the relevant Waste Transfer Note. Do not mix refrigerants. If compressors or oils are removed, ensure they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. Evacuate compressor before returning to suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. Drain oil safely.

Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, please try the suggestions below.

Problem: Air conditioner will not operate

• Solution: DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in electrical shock, fire, or death.
• Solution: The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. See "Electrical Requirements" on page 8.
• Solution: Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity is being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the correct capacity. See "Electrical Requirements" on page 8.
• Solution: The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has popped out). Press and release RESET to resume operation. (Listen for click; RESET button will latch and remain in.)
• Solution: A household fuse has blown, or a circuit breaker has tripped. Replace the fuse, or reset the circuit breaker. See "Electrical Requirements" on page 8.
• Solution: The ON/OFF button has not been pressed. Press ON/OFF.
• Solution: The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.
• Solution: You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after turning it off. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning off the air conditioner before trying to restart.
• Solution: Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit. Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.

Problem: Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers

• Solution: Disturbances in your electrical current can trip (RESET button will pop out) the power supply cord. Press and release RESET to resume operation. (Listen for click; RESET button will latch and remain in.)
• Solution: Electrical overloading, overheating, cord pinching or aging can trip (RESET button will pop out) the power supply cord. After correcting the problem, press and release RESET to resume operation. (Listen for click; RESET button will latch and remain in.) If the power cord fails to reset, contact a service technician.

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Problem: Air conditioner power supply cord trips (Reset button pops out)

• Solution: Disturbances in your electrical current can trip (RESET button will pop out) the power supply cord. Press and release RESET to resume operation. (Listen for click; RESET button will latch and remain in.)
• Solution: Electrical overloading, overheating, cord pinching or aging can trip (RESET button will pop out) the power supply cord. After correcting the problem, press and release RESET to resume operation. (Listen for click; RESET button will latch and remain in.) If the power cord fails to reset, contact a service technician.

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Problem: Air Conditioner seems to run too much

• Solution: A door or window is open. Keep doors and windows closed.
• Solution: The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.
• Solution: The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Portable air conditioners are designed as supplemental cooling to local areas within a room. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.
• Solution: The setting temperature on the unit is too close to the room's actual temperature. Lower the setting temperature on the unit. See "Operation" on page 14.

Problem: Display error code

• Solution: If the unit displays error code E5, the water container is full. Please drain the water, see "Draining the Air Conditioner" on page 20. The unit can be operated again after draining.
• Solution: If the unit displays error code E1/E2/E3/E6/E7/EA, please contact customer service.

Problem: Air conditioner runs, but does not cool

• Solution: The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
• Solution: Air outlet is blocked. Clear air outlet.
• Solution: The setting temperature is too high. Lower setting temperature.
• Solution: The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check the cooling capabilities of your portable air conditioner. Portable air conditioners are designed as supplemental cooling to local areas within a room.

Problem: Air conditioner cycles on and off too much

• Solution: The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
• Solution: There is excessive heat or moisture, open container cooking, showers, etc. in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
• Solution: The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.
