Please request your sales agent or quali ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or  re may occur if 
you do the installation work yourself.

  Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may 

cause water leakage, electric shock and  re.

  Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not, 

the units may collapse and impose danger.

  Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when 

dealing with the electrical work. Use power cables approved by the authorities of your country.

  Be sure to use the speci ed wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight 

after the conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating 
and  re.

  Please use the speci ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock 

and  re may occur.

  Be sure to use the speci ed piping set for R-410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.

  When installing or removing an air conditioner, only speci ed refrigerant (R410A) shall be allowed, do not allow air or moisture 

to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a
