NOTICE

Make sure the outlet of vacuum pump is away from fire source and is well-
ventilated.
(1) Remove the caps of the liquid valve, gas valve and also the service port.
(2) Connect the hose at the low pressure side of the manifold valve assembly to
the service port of the unit’s gas valve, and meanwhile the gas and liquid valves
should be kept closed in case of refrigerant leak.
(3) Connect the hose used for evacuation to the vacuum pump.
(4) Open the switch at the lower pressure side of the manifold valve assembly and
start the vacuum pump. Meanwhile, the switch at the high pressure side of the
manifold valve assembly should be kept closed, otherwise evacuation would
fail.

And verify if the pressure gauge at the low pressure side of the manifold valve
assembly reads -0.1MPa (-75cmHg), if not, it indicates there is leak somewhere.
Then, close the switch fully and then stop the vacuum pump.
(6) Wait for 10min to see if the system pressure can remain unchanged. If the
pressure decrease, there may be leakage.
(7) Slightly open the liquid valve and let some refrigerant go to the connection pipe
to balance the pressure inside and outside of the connection pipe, so that air
will not come into the connection pipe when removing the hose. Note that the
gas and liquid valve can be opened fully only after the manifold valve assembly
is removed.
(8) Place back the caps of the liquid valve, gas valve and also the service port.

5.3 Unit Maintenance

5.3.1 Filter Cleaning
Increase the frequency of cleaning if the unit is installed in a room where the
air is extremely contaminated (As a yardstick for yourself, consider cleaning the
filter once a half year).
If dirt becomes impossible to clean, change the air filter (Air filter for
exchange is optional).
(1) Removing the air filter from the duct.
(2) Cleaning the air filter.
Remove dust from the air filter using a vacuum cleaner and gently rinse
them in cool water. Do not use detergent or hot water to avoid filter shrinking or
deformation. After cleaning dry them in the shade.
Press the return air filter downward against the guide groove sponge. There
are two or three return air inlet filters.
(3) Replacing the air filter Reinstall the filter as before.

5.3.2 Heat Exchanger of Outdoor Unit

Conduct cleaning for the heat exchanger of outdoor unit periodically, clean it
once at least in every two months. Clean the dust and sundries on the surface of
the heat exchanger with dust collector and nylon brush, if there’s compressed air
source; use the compressed air to blow the dust on the surface of the heat
exchanger. Don’t use tap water for cleaning.

5.3.3 Drainage Pipe

Periodically check if the drainage pipe is blocked to smooth the condensate
water.
