Caution:
● Refrigerant pipe diameter is different
according to indoor unit to be connected.
When using the extension pipe, refer to the
tables below.
● When refrigerant pipe diameter is different
from that of the outdoor unit connector (18K
indoor unit) an additional adapter is required.

4.4 First-Time Installation
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system cause
the following problems:
● Increases in system pressure
● Increases in operating current
● Decreases in cooling and heating efficiency
● Blocks in capillary tubing caused by moisture
in the refrigerant circuit freezing
● Corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system
caused by water
The indoor units and the pipes between
indoor and outdoor units must be tested for
leakages and evacuated to remove gas and
moisture from the system.
Gas leak check with soap water:
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral
detergent on the connections with a soft brush to
check for leakage in the pipe connecting points. If
bubbles emerge, the pipes are leaking.
