1. PRECAUTIONS
The safety precautions listed here are divided into two categories. In
either case, essential safety information is listed, which must be read
and absorbed carefully.
After completing installation, make sure that the unit operates
properly during the start-up operation. Please instruct the customer
on how to operate the unit and keep it properly maintained. Also,
inform customers that they should store this installation manual,
along with the owner's manual, for their future reference.
Be sure to only hire trained and qualified service
personnel to install, repair, or service the equipment.
Improper installation, repair, and maintenance may result in
electrical shocks, short-circuits, leaks, fires, or other damage
to the equipment.
Failure to observe a warning may result in death.
Failure to observe a caution may result in injury or
damage to the equipment.
Strictly adhere to these installation instructions.
If installation is done improperly, it may cause water leakage,
electrical shock, and possibly fire.
When installing the unit inside a small room, take
measures toward keeping refrigerant concentration from
exceeding allowable safety limits, in the event of
refrigerant leakage.
Contact the place of purchase for
more information.
Excessive refrigerant inside a closed environment can lead to
oxygen deficiency.
Use only the attached accessories and specified parts
for installation.
Unauthorized parts and accessories can cause the set to fall,
develop water leakage, or cause electrical shock or fire.
Install in a strong, stable location that will be able to
withstand the full weight of the set.
If the mount location’s stability is insufficient, or the installation
is improperly done, the set can possibly drop and cause injury.
The appliance shall not be installed in, or near, the
laundry room.
Before obtaining access to the terminals, all supply
circuits must be disconnected.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is
easily accessible.
The enclosure of the appliance shall be marked by
words, or by symbols, with the direction of the fluid flow.
For electrical work, follow all local and national wiring
standards and regulations, as well as these installation
instructions. An independent circuit and single outlet
must be used.
If the electrical circuit capacity is insufficient, or there is a
defect in the electrical work, it will cause electrical shock fire.
Use the specified cable and connect tightly and clamp
the cable so that no external force will act upon the
terminal.
If the connection or fixture is not perfect, it will cause
heating-up of, or fire at, the connection.
Wiring routing must be properly arranged, so that the
control board cover is fixed properly.
If control board cover is not fixed perfectly, it will lead to
heating-up at the connection point of terminal, fire, or
electrical shock.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, service agent, or similarly qualified
personnel, in order to avoid a hazard.
An all-pole disconnection switch, having a contact
separation of at least 3mm in all poles, should be
implemented within the fixed wiring.
When carrying out a piping connection, take care not to
let air pockets leak into the refrigeration cycle.
Otherwise, it can lead to lowered capacity, abnormally high
pressure in the refrigeration cycle, explosion, and injury.
Do not modify the length of the power supply cord, or
use of extension cord, and do not share the single outlet
with other electrical appliances.
It can lead to possible fire or electrical shock.
Carry out the specified installation work only after taking
into account strong winds, typhoons, or earthquakes.
Improper installation work may result in the equipment falling
and causing accidents during possible natural disasters.
