CHARGING THE REFRIGERANT
If the amount of refrigerant level is low, the appliance 
would provide low performance. Charge the 
refrigerant for proper operation.
•  Refer to the label attached to the side of the 
appliance to confirm the type and amount of 
refrigerant.
•  Charge the refrigerant through the gas service 
valve (larger pipe).
1 
Connect the low-pressure hose of the manifold 
gauge to the core valve of the gas service valve.
2 
Open both the gas service valve and the liquid 
service valve of the outdoor unit.
• Rotate the valves to counter-clockwise using a 
hexagon wrench.
3 
Connect the charging hose of the manifold 
gauge to the refrigerant cylinder.
Charge Using the Refrigerant Cylinder 
without a Siphon
•  This is usually applied to R410A. Charge 
the refrigerant (liquid phase) by inverting the 
refrigerant cylinder.
4 
Charge the refrigerant by adjusting the low-
pressure valve of the manifold gauge.
• Refer to ‘Suggested Amount of Refrigerant 
Charge’.
5 
After charging the refrigerant, close the low-
pressure valve of the manifold gauge and 
separate the connected low-pressure hose from 
the outdoor unit.
NOTE
•  If charging a mixed refrigerant like R410A, charge 
from the bottom after removing all the refrigerant 
in the cylinder.
•  The handling of the refrigerant must comply with 
national regulations.
