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.
●
This air conditioner shall be installed in accordance with
National Wiring Regulations.
●
Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices
given in this manual.
WARNING
This symbol refers to a hazard or
unsafe practice which can result
in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
This symbol refers to a hazard or
unsafe practice which can result
in personal injury or product or
property damage.
If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation
sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a
special problem, 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
WARNING
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN 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
grounding can cause
accidental injury or death
.
•
Ground the unit
following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause over-
heating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
• To prevent possible hazards from insulation failure,
the unit must be grounded.
• This equipment is strongly recommended to be installed
with Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual
Current Device (RCD). Otherwise, it may cause electrical
shock and fire in case of equipment breakdown or
insulation breakdown.
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…
Select an installation location which is rigid and strong
enough to support or hold the unit, and select a location for
easy maintenance.
…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.
CAUTION
Keep the fire alarm and the air
outlet at least 5 ft
.
(1.5 m) away
from the unit.
…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 damage 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
• Pay particular attention to refrigerant leakages.
• Ventilate the room immediately, in the event that is
refrigerant gas leaks during the installation. Be careful not
to allow contact of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this
will cause the generation of toxic gas.
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• 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.
WARNING
• When performing piping work, do not mix air
except for specified refrigerant (R410A) in
refrigeration cycle. It causes capacity down, and
risk of explosion and injury due to high tension
inside the refrigerant cycle.
• If the refrigerant comes in contact with a flame,
it produces a toxic gas.
• Do not add or replace refrigerant other than
specified type. It may cause product damage,
burst and injury, etc.

• Do not leak refrigerant while piping work for an
installation or re-installation, and while repairing
refrigeration parts.
Handle liquid refrigerant carefully as it may cause
frostbite.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains)
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.
WARNING
• This product must not be modified or
disassembled under any circumstances.
Modified or disassembled unit may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.
• Do not clean inside the indoor and outdoor
units by users. Engage authorized dealer or
specialist for cleaning.
• In case of malfunction of this appliance, do
not repair by yourself. Contact to the sales
dealer or service dealer for a repair.
CAUTION
• Do not touch the air inlet or the sharp
aluminum fins of the outdoor unit. You
may get injured.
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or
testing the refrigeration system. Leaked
refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can
produce dangerously toxic gas.
• Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas
is leaking. If the gas comes in contact with a
burning stove, gas water heater, electric room
heater or other heat source, it can cause the
generation of toxic gas.
Others
CAUTION
• Do not sit or step on the unit, you may
fall down accidentally.
• Do not touch the air inlet or the sharp
aluminum fins of the outdoor unit.
You may get injured.
• Do not stick any object into the FAN
CASE.
You may be injured and the unit may
be damaged.
Check of Density Limit
The room in which the air conditioner is to be
installed requires a design that in the event of
refrigerant gas leaking out, its density will not exceed
a set limit.
The refrigerant (R410A), which is used in the air
conditioner, is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of
ammonia, and is not restricted by laws imposed to protect
the ozone layer. However, since it contains more than air,
it poses the risk of suffocation if its density should rise
excessively. Suffocation from leakage of refrigerant is
almost non-existent. With the recent increase in the
number of high density buildings, however, the installation
of multi air conditioner systems is on the increase
because of the need for effective use of floor space,
individual control, energy conservation by curtailing heat
and carrying power, etc.
Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system is able
to replenish a large amount of refrigerant compared to
conventional individual air conditioners.
If a single unit of the multi air conditioner system is to be
installed in a small room, select a suitable model and
installation procedure so that if the refrigerant
accidentally leaks out, its density does not reach the limit
(and in the event of an emergency, measures can be
made before injury can occur).
ASHRAE and the International Mechanical Code of the
ICC as well as CSA provide guidance and define
safeguards related to the use of refrigerants, all of which
define a Refrigerant Concentration Level (RCL) of
refrigerant.

refrigerant safety, please refer to the following documents:
