SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

When Wiring

ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED
ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS
SYSTEM.

• All wiring must conform to local electrical codes.

• Each unit must be properly grounded with a ground (or

earth) wire or through the supply wiring.

• DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third

(ground) prong from the power cord plug.

• DO NOT use an adapter Plug or extension cord.

• DO NOT use a damaged power cord, plug, or wall outlet.

Replace them immediately.

• DO NOT change the internal wiring or any part of the

system.

• DO NOT turn the air conditioner on and off by plugging and

unplugging. Use the Operation switch.

When Transporting

Be careful when picking up and moving the air conditioner.
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

Place of Installation

• If possible, install the unit in a shady location.

• Install it at a spot where optimum air circulation can be

obtained. No chairs or other obstructions are allowed in
front of the air conditioner.

• Keep enough space from any outside obstruction (wall,

bush, etc.).

• As a safety measure, it is recommended that two people

install the unit.

• Hold the unit securely, and be careful not to drop any parts

if the air conditioner is being installed on an upper floor of a
multistory building.

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 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 tools have been left inside
the unit being serviced.

Others

• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the

refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact
with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.

• Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant gas

is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a stove,
gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source,
it can produce dangerously toxic gas.
