10-2. Checklist before Servicing

Use a clutch-type flare tool for R410A or the conventional flare tool. Note that sizes of the resultant flares differ between these two tools. Where a conventional flare tool is used, make sure to observe A Specification (amount of extrusion) by using the flare spacer.

Tubing precautions

Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation.

Never use 0.0276" (0.7 mm)-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.0315" (0.8 mm) in thickness, since air conditioners with R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.

No addition of compressor oil for R410A

No additional charge of compressor oil is permitted.

No use of refrigerant other than R410A

Never use a refrigerant other than R410A.

If refrigerant R410A is exposed to fire

Through welding, etc., toxic gas may be released when R410A refrigerant is exposed to fire. Therefore, be sure to provide ample ventilation during installation work.

Caution in case of R410A leak

Check for possible leak points with the special leak detector for R410A. If a leak occurs inside the room, immediately provide thorough ventilation.

Panasonic's nanoe-G technology is another remarkable feature incorporated into these models. This technology helps to purify the air by generating hydroxyl radicals, which eliminate airborne particles, odors, and harmful bacteria. This results in a healthier indoor environment, conducive to both comfort and well-being. The air purification aspect not only enhances the air quality but also extends the lifespan of the HVAC system by reducing the buildup of dust and contaminants.

In terms of user convenience, both the CU-KE and CS-KE series are equipped with programmable timers, allowing users to set their desired operation schedules. They also come with a remote control for ease of use, enabling adjustments from a distance. The installation process is straightforward, and the sleek design blends seamlessly with various interior aesthetics, making them a suitable choice for any room.

Durability is a key characteristic of Panasonic air conditioning units, and the CU-KE36NKU, CS-KE36NKU, CU-KE30NKU, and CS-KE30NKU are designed to withstand varying environmental conditions. Their robust construction ensures reliability and performance over the years. Additionally, both models come with a quiet operation feature that minimizes noise levels, allowing for comfortable use without disturbing daily activities.

In summary, the Panasonic CU-KE36NKU, CS-KE36NKU, CU-KE30NKU, and CS-KE30NKU are exceptional air conditioning units that combine energy efficiency, innovative purification technology, user-friendly features, and robust durability. These models are an ideal investment for anyone seeking a reliable and high-performance cooling solution.
