1.. Before installation or relocation
Caution:
• Be extremely careful when transporting the units. Two or more persons are
needed to handle the unit, as it weighs 0 kg, 44 lbs or more. Do not grasp
the packaging bands. Wear protective gloves as you can injure your hands
on the fins or other parts.
• Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials, such
as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other injuries.
• Thermal insulation of the refrigerant pipe is necessary to prevent condensation.
If the refrigerant pipe is not properly insulated, condensation will be formed.

Warning:
• Ask a dealer or an authorized technician to install the unit.
• For installation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use
tools and pipe components specifically made for use with refrigerant specified
in the outdoor unit installation manual.
• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to minimize
the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An incor-
rectly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its weight.
• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to prevent
the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the safety limit in the
event of refrigerant leakage. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the concentra-
tion limit to be exceeded, hazards due to lack of oxygen in the room may result.
• Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation. If refrigerant comes
into contact with a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
• All electric work must be performed by a qualified technician according to
local regulations and the instructions given in this manual.
• Use only specified cables for wiring.
• The terminal block cover panel of the unit must be firmly attached.
• Use only accessories authorized by Mitsubishi Electric and ask a dealer or
an authorized technician to install them.
• The user should never attempt to repair the unit or transfer it to another location.
• After installation has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks. If refriger-
ant leaks into the room and comes into contact with the flame of a heater or
portable cooking range, poisonous gases will be released.
• When installing or relocating, or servicing the air conditioner, use only the
specified refrigerant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with
any other refrigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines.
If air is mixed with the refrigerant, then it can be the cause of abnormal high
pressure in the refrigerant line, and may result in an explosion and other
hazards.
The use of any refrigerant other than that specified for the system will cause
mechanical failure or system malfunction or unit breakdown. In the worst
case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.
1.1. Before installation (Environment)
Caution:
• Do not use the unit in an unusual environment. If the air conditioner is installed
in areas exposed to steam, volatile oil (including machine oil), or sulfuric gas,
areas exposed to high salt content such as the seaside, the performance can
be significantly reduced and the internal parts can be damaged.
• Do not install the unit where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow,
or accumulate. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, fire or explo
-
sion may result.
• Do not keep food, plants, caged pets, artwork, or precision instruments in the
direct airflow of the indoor unit or too close to the unit, as these items can be
damaged by temperature changes or dripping water.
• When the room humidity exceeds 80% or when the drainpipe is clogged,
water may drip from the indoor unit. Do not install the indoor unit where such
dripping can cause damage.
• When installing the unit in a hospital or communications office, be prepared for
noise and electronic interference. Inverters, home appliances, high-frequency
medical equipment, and radio communications equipment can cause the air
conditioner to malfunction or breakdown. The air conditioner may also affect
medical equipment, disturbing medical care, and communications equipment,
harming the screen display quality.
• Place thermal insulation on the pipes to prevent condensation. If the drain-
pipe is installed incorrectly, water leakage and damage to the ceiling, floor,
furniture, or other possessions may result.
• Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.
• Tighten all flare nuts to specification using a torque wrench. If tightened too
much, the flare nut can break after an extended period.
1.3. Before electric work
Caution:
• Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may result.
• For the power lines, use standard cables of sufficient capacity. Otherwise, a
short circuit, overheating, or fire may result.
• When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables.
• Be sure to ground the unit. If the unit is not properly grounded, electric shock
may result.
• Use circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch (+B fuse), and
molded case circuit breaker) with the specified capacity. If the circuit breaker
capacity is larger than the specified capacity, breakdown or fire may result.

1. Safety precautions
1.4. Before starting the test run
Caution:
• Turn on the main power switch more than 1 hours before starting operation.
Starting operation just after turning on the power switch can severely damage
the internal parts.
• Before starting operation, check that all panels, guards and other protective parts
are correctly installed. Rotating, hot, or high voltage parts can cause injuries.
• Do not operate the air conditioner without the air filter set in place. If the air
filter is not installed, dust may accumulate and breakdown may result.
• Do not touch any switch with wet hands. Electric shock may result.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes with bare hands during operation.
• After stopping operation, be sure to wait at least five minutes before turning off
the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or breakdown may result.
