Safety Considerations for Installation

 carefully 

before installing an air conditioner or heat pump. After completing 

the installation, make sure that the unit operates properly during 

the startup operation.

Instruct the user on how to operate and maintain the unit.

Inform users that they should store this installation manual with 

the operation manual for future reference.

Always use a licensed installer or contractor to install this product.

Improper installation can result in water or refrigerant leakage, 

electric shock, fire, or explosion. 

Meanings of 

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

, and 

NOTE

 

Symbols:

 DANGER  ...........

Indicates an imminently hazardous 

situation which, if not avoided, will 

result in death or serious injury.

 WARNING  .........

Indicates a potentially hazardous 

situation which, if not avoided, could 

result in death or serious injury.

 CAUTION  ..........

Indicates a potentially hazardous 

situation which, if not avoided, may 

result in minor or moderate injury. 

It may also be used to alert against 

unsafe practices.

 NOTE  ................

Indicates situations that may result 

in equipment or property-damage 

accidents only.

DANGER 

• 

Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. 

A massive leak can lead to oxygen depletion, especially 

in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could occur 

leading to serious injury or death.

•  Do not ground units to water pipes, gas pipes, telephone 

wires, or lightning rods as incomplete grounding can cause 

a severe shock hazard resulting in severe injury or death. 

Additionally, grounding to gas pipes could cause a gas leak 

and potential explosion causing severe injury or death.

•  If refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate the 

area immediately. Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas 

if it comes into contact with fire. Exposure to this gas could 

cause severe injury or death.

•  After completing the installation work, check that the 

refrigerant gas does not leak throughout the system.

• 

Do not install unit in an area where flammable materials 

are present due to risk of explosions that can cause 

serious injury or death.

•  Safely dispose all packing and transportation materials 

in accordance with federal/state/local laws or ordinances. 

Packing materials such as nails and other metal or 

wood parts, including plastic packing materials used for 

transportation may cause injuries or death by suffocation.

WARNING 

• 

Only qualified personnel must carry out the installation 

work. Installation must be done in accordance with this 

installation manual. Improper installation may result in 

water leakage, electric shock, or fire.

•  When installing the unit in a small room, take measures 

to keep the refrigerant concentration from exceeding 

allowable safety limits. Excessive refrigerant leaks, in the 

event of an accident in a closed ambient space, can lead 

to oxygen deficiency.

• 

Use only specified accessories and parts for installation 

work. Failure to use specified parts may result in water 

leakage, electric shock, fire, or the unit falling.

•  Install the air conditioner or heat pump on a foundation 

strong enough that it can withstand the weight of the unit. 

A foundation of insufficient strength may result in the unit 

falling and causing injuries.

•  Take into account strong winds, typhoons, or earthquakes 

when installing. Improper installation may result in the unit 

falling and causing accidents.
