Tools Needed For Installation Work

Please request your s

ales ag

ent or quali

fi

 ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or 

fi

 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 

fi

 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

fi

 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 

fi

 re.

Please use the speci

fi

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

and 

fi

 re may occur.

Be sure to use the speci

fi

 ed piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.

When installing or removing an air conditioner, only speci

fi

 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
rupture may be caused.

Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with 

fi

 re,  a  poisonous 

gas may occur.

After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks 
into the room, coming into contact with 

fi

 re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.

Unauthorized modi

fi

 cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a quali

fi

 ed air conditioner 

technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and 

fi

 re,  etc.

WARNING

CAUTION

The connection of insulated 
drain hose.

Please use insulated drain 
hose for the indoor piping 
(commercial product).
