This document is an Owner's Manual for LG Air Conditioners, specifically for Ceiling Concealed Duct models. It provides comprehensive information on safety, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for the appliance.
Function Description:
The LG Ceiling Concealed Duct air conditioner is designed to provide cooling and heating (depending on the model) for indoor spaces. It takes in air from the room through air intake vents, processes it to the desired temperature, and then circulates it back into the room through air outlet vents. The concealed duct design allows the unit to be hidden within the ceiling, providing a discreet aesthetic while delivering conditioned air. The appliance is not intended for special purposes like preserving food or works of art, but rather for consumer use in maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.
Important Technical Specifications:
The manual lists various model numbers for the Ceiling Concealed Duct units, including:
ARNU07GM1A4, ARNU09GM1A4, ARNU12GM1A4, ARNU15GM1A4, ARNU18GM1A4, ARNU24GM1A4, ARNU28GM2A4, ARNU36GM2A4, ARNU42GM2A4, ARNU48GM3A4, ARNU54GM3A4, ARNU60GM3A4, ARNU05GL1G4, ARNU07GL1G4, ARNU09GL1G4, ARNU12GL2G4, ARNU15GL2G4, ARNU18GL2G4, ARNU21GL3G4, ARNU24GL3G4, ARNU76GB8A4, ARNU96GB8A4.
The appliance uses a flammable refrigerant (indicated by a specific symbol), and R32 refrigerant is mentioned for some models. Proper handling and disposal procedures for refrigerants and insulation blowing gas are emphasized. The manual also specifies that the appliance should be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area specified for operation. Ducts connected to the appliance should not contain an ignition source.
For outdoor unit installation, specific clearance measurements are provided:
- More than 300 mm for sides (indicated by arrows around front, back, and side).
- More than 600 mm for one side (likely the front or back, depending on the diagram).
- More than 700 mm for another side.
These clearances are crucial for proper heat radiation and to prevent obstruction.
For indoor unit installation, the manual specifies a minimum inspection hole size of 600 x 600 mm and a minimum clearance of 20 mm for certain parts (likely for maintenance access). The unit's weight should be considered, and the installation location must be able to bear a load exceeding four times the indoor unit's weight.
