n
Do not install the unit by yourself (user).
Incomplete installation could cause fire or electric shock, injury due to the unit falling,
or leakage of water. Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the unit or a quali
-
fied installer.
n
Perform the installation securely referring to the installation manual.
Incomplete installation could cause fire, electric shock, injury due to the unit falling,
or leakage of water.
n
When installing the unit, use appropriate protective equipment and tools for
safety.
Failure to do so could cause injury.
n
Install the unit securely in a place which can bear the weight of the unit.
If the installation location cannot bear the weight of the unit, the unit could fall causing
injury.
n
Electrical work should be performed by a qualified, experienced electrician,
according to the installation manual. Be sure to use an exclusive circuit. Do
not connect other electrical appliances to the circuit.
If the capacity of the power circuit is insufficient or there is incomplete electrical work,
it could result in a fire or an electric shock.
n
Do not damage the wires by applying excessive pressure with parts or
screws.
Damaged wires could cause fire or electric shock.
n
Be sure to cut off the main power in case of setting up the indoor P.C. board
or wiring works.
Failure to do so could cause electric shock.
n
Use the specified wires to connect the indoor and outdoor units securely
and attach the wires firmly to the terminal block connecting sections so the
stress of the wires is not applied to the sections. Do not extend the wires, or
use intermediate connection.
Incomplete connecting and securing could cause fire.
n
Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak.
If gas leaks and accumulates in the area around the unit, it could cause an explosion.
n
Do not use intermediate connection of the power cord or the extension cord
and do not connect many devices to one AC outlet.
It could cause a fire or an electric shock due to defective contact, defective insulation,
exceeding the permissible current, etc.
n
Be sure to use the parts provided or specified parts for the installation work.
The use of defective parts could cause an injury or leakage of water due to a fire, an
electric shock, the unit falling, etc.
n
When plugging the power supply plug into the outlet, make sure that there is
no dust, clogging, or loose parts in both the outlet and the plug. Make sure
that the power supply plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
If there is dust, clogging, or loose parts on the power supply plug or the outlet, it could
cause electric shock or fire. If loose parts are found on the power supply plug, replace
it.
n
Attach the electrical cover to the indoor unit and the service panel to the
outdoor unit securely.
If the electrical cover of the indoor unit and/or the service panel of the outdoor unit are
not attached securely, it could result in a fire or an electric shock due to dust, water,
etc.
n
When installing, relocating, or servicing the unit, make sure that no sub-
stance other than the specified refrigerant (R32) enters the refrigerant circuit.
Any presence of foreign substance such as air can cause abnormal pressure rise and
may result in explosion or injury. The use of any refrigerant other than that specified
for the system will cause mechanical failure, system malfunction, or unit breakdown.
In the worst case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.
n
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. If refrigerant leaks dur-
ing installation, ventilate the room. Check that the refrigerant does not leak
after installation has been completed.
If refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with fire or heating part of such a fan heater,
kerosene heater, or cooking stove, it will create harmful gas. Provide ventilation in
accordance with EN378-1.
n
Check that the refrigerant gas does not leak after installation has been com-
pleted.
If refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the flame of a fan heater,
space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will be generated.
n
Use appropriate tools and piping materials for installation.
The pressure of R32 is 1.6 times more than R22. Not using appropriate tools or
materials and incomplete installation could cause the pipes to burst or injury.
n
When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnect-
ing the refrigerant pipes.
If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected while the compressor is running and the stop
valve is open, air could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could
become abnormally high. This could cause the pipes to burst or injury.
n
When installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before start-
ing the compressor.
If the compressor is started before the refrigerant pipes are connected and when the
stop valve is open, air could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle
could become abnormally high. This could cause the pipes to burst or injury.
n
Fasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in this manual.
If fastened too tight, a flare nut may break after a long period and cause refrigerant
leakage.
n
The unit shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
n
Earth the unit correctly.
Do not connect the earth to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone earth.
Defective earthing could cause electric shock.
n
Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in electric shock or fire.
n
When using a gas burner or other flame-producing equipment, completely
remove all of the refrigerant from the air conditioner and ensure that the area
is well-ventilated.
If the refrigerant leaks and comes in contact in fire or heating part, it will create harmful
gas and there is risk of fire.
n
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
n
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating
ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an
operating electric heater).
n
Do not pierce or burn.
n
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
n
Pipe-work shall be protected from physical damage.
n
The installation of pipe-work shall be kept to a minimum.
n
Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.
n
Keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
n
Do not use low temperature solder alloy in case of brazing the refrigerant
pipes.
n
Servicing shall be performed only as recommended by the manufacturer.
n
Do not alter the unit. It may cause fire, electric shock, injury or water leakage.
n
When opening or closing the valve below freezing temperatures, refriger-
ant may spurt out from the gap between the valve stem and the valve body,
resulting in injuries.
WARNING
(Could lead to death, serious injury, etc.)
