CARE AND CLEANING

• Cleaning and maintenance operations must be carried out by specially trained personnel.

While working in high places, slipping or falling may result in serious injury.

For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power before cleaning.

Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internal components and cause an electric shock hazard.

Ceiling panel (Indoor Unit)

Clean the ceiling panel of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or wipe it with a clean, soft cloth.

If it is stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid detergent. When cleaning it, be careful not to force the flaps out of place.

Each time the OPERATION button is pressed, the operation mode changes cyclically.

Cooling operation

 

Stop

 

NOTE

The temperature is set to the room temperature minus 4°F during the cooling operation, and the fan speed and flap are set to Auto.

CAUTION

Never use solvents, or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe the plastic casing using very hot water.

Some metal edges and the fins are sharp and may cause injury if handled improperly; be especially careful when you clean these parts.

The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned every year. Consult your dealer or service center.

Cleaning the flaps

The air outlet flap can be removed and washed with water.

Be sure to always stop operation before removing the flap.

After washing with water, allow it to dry, and then remount it.

CAUTION

Do not move the flap with your hands.

When using a footstool or the like, be careful not to let it tip over.

Cleaning the main unit and Remote Controller

Wipe clean using a soft, dry cloth.

To remove stubborn dirt, moisten a cloth in warm water no hotter than 104 °F, wring thoroughly, and then wipe.

R410A specifications

Panasonic R410A is a refrigerant that has gained significant popularity in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry due to its favorable environmental properties and performance characteristics. Specifically designed to replace the harmful R22 refrigerant, which is being phased out due to its ozone-depleting potential, R410A offers a more eco-friendly alternative without compromising on efficiency or power.

One of the main features of R410A is its high energy efficiency. It operates at a higher pressure than R22, resulting in better heat transfer capabilities. This increased efficiency translates to lower energy consumption, making units using R410A more cost-effective in the long run. Additionally, R410A is known for its ability to provide excellent cooling performance even in high-temperature environments, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from residential air conditioning systems to commercial refrigeration units.

In terms of composition, R410A is a blend of two hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), namely R32 and R125. This combination not only minimizes ozone depletion potential (ODP) but also reduces global warming potential (GWP) compared to older refrigerants. Panasonic has emphasized the importance of innovative technologies in its products, and R410A aligns perfectly with the company's commitment to developing sustainable solutions.

Panasonic also integrates advanced technologies to optimize the performance of R410A systems. For example, variable speed compressors, known as inverter technology, enhance system efficiency by adjusting the compressor's speed according to the cooling demand. This ensures that energy is only consumed when needed, further reducing operational costs.

Furthermore, R410A has a wide range of applications, including air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and chillers. Its versatility makes it a popular choice among manufacturers and consumers alike. The refrigerant is also compatible with existing R22 equipment, although specific retrofit procedures must be followed to ensure peak performance and reliability.

In conclusion, Panasonic R410A stands out as an innovative refrigerant choice in the HVAC industry, offering a combination of energy efficiency, environmentally friendly properties, and advanced technologies. As regulatory frameworks continue to tighten on greenhouse gas emissions, R410A and similar refrigerants are expected to play a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable future for air conditioning and refrigeration. Its high performance and lower environmental impact solidify its position as a leading refrigerant in contemporary cooling solutions.
