DANGER
• Do not ground units to water pipes, telephone wires, or lightning rods because incomplete grounding can
cause a severe shock hazard resulting in severe injury or death. Do not ground units to gas pipes because a
gas leak can result in an explosion which could lead to severe injury or death.
• Do not install unit in an area where flammable materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air conditioner, such as smoke or fire, can result in severe injury or
death. Turn off the power and contact your dealer immediately for instructions.
• Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and displaces oxygen. A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion,
especially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious injury or death.
• If the refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate the area immediately.
Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire such as from a fan, heater, stove or cooking
device. Exposure to this gas could result in severe injury or death.
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in
serious injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same room as the air conditioner, there is the danger of oxygen
deficiency which can lead to an asphyxiation hazard resulting in serious injury or death. Be sure to ventilate
the room.
• After completing the installation work, check that the refrigerant gas does not leak.
Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire such as from a fan, heater, stove or cooking
device. Exposure to this gas could result in severe injury or death.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials.
Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries. Tear apart and
throw away plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them. Children playing with plastic bags face the
danger of death by suffocation.
WARNING
• Ask your dealer or an authorized personnel to carry out installation work. Do not try to install the unit by
yourself.
Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric shocks or fire.
• Perform installation work in accordance with this installation manual.
