Cutting or extending the pipe
The length of the pipe can be:
•Extended up to : see table page 30
•Shorten up to: see page 30
If you need a pipe longer than 5 meters:
• You must extend the assembly cable.
• You must add refrigerant to the pipes; otherwise, the indoor unit may freeze.

2.If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it using a pipe cutter, ensuring that the cut edge remains at 90° with the side of the pipe (see below examples of correct and incorrect cut edges).
