C
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam
D
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections.
• Use refrigerant piping insulation provided to insulate indoor unit connections.
When installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before
starting the compressor.
