safely and efficiently.
For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:
• Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
• Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
• Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
• Pay close attention to all danger, warning, and caution notices
given in this manual.
• Hazard alerting symbols
If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation sites and
maintenance conditions. If you require help for a special prob-
lem, contact our sales / service outlet or your certified dealer for
additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper
installation or maintenance service, including failure to follow the
instructions in this document.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELEC-
TRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing are
completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system.
Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these instructions
when wiring. Improper connections and inadequate ground-
ing can cause accidental injury or death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheat-
ing at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor
units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to
reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins
on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing...
...In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s
weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or metal
frame to provide added support.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to walls
and floors.
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid,
level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents water dam-
age and abnormal vibration.
...In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal
frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than
drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare
and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten the nut
with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
NOTE:
Depending on the system type, liquid and gas lines may be
either narrow or wide. Therefore, to avoid confusion the refriger-
ant tubing for your particular model is specified as either “small”
or “large” rather than as “liquid” or “gas”.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main circuit breaker panel before
opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check that
no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside the unit
being serviced.
• After installation, explain correct operation to the customer,
using the operating manual.
