Installation
Only a qualified installer (*1) or qualified service person (*1) is allowed to install the air conditioner. If
the air conditioner is installed by an unqualified individual, a fire, electric shocks, injury, water leakage,
noise and/or vibration may result.
Before starting to install the air conditioner, read carefully through the Installation Manual, and follow its
instructions to install the air conditioner.
Be sure to use the company-specified products for the separately purchased parts. Use of non-
specified products may result in fire, electric shock, water leakage or other failure. Have the installation
performed by a qualified installer.
Do not supply power from the power terminal block equipped on the outdoor unit to another outdoor unit.
Capacity over
load
may occur on the terminal block and may result in fire
.
Use wiring that meets the specifications in the Installation Manual and the stipulations in the local
regulations and laws. Use of wiring which does not meet the specifications may give rise to electric
shocks, electrical leakage, smoking and/or a fire.
Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to a risk of exp
o
su
re to a combustible
gas.
If a combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire
may occur.
If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately. If the leaked
refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may be generated.
Install a circuit breaker that meets the specifications in the installation manual and the stipulations in
the local regulations and laws.
Install the circuit breaker where it can be easily accessed by the qualified service person (*1).
If you install the unit in a small room, take appropriate measures to prevent the refrigerant from
exceeding the limit concentration even if it leaks. Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the air
conditioner when you implement the measures. Accumulation of highly concentrated refrigerant may
cause an oxygen deficiency accident.
Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to the wind of air
conditioner, otherwise it may cause imperfect combustion.
Explanations given to user
If you have discovered that the fan grille is damaged, do not approach the outdoor unit but set the circuit
breaker to the OFF position, and contact a qualified service person to have the repairs done.
Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position until the repairs are completed.
Relocation
• Only a qualified installer (*1) or qualified service person (*1) is allowed to relocate the air conditioner.
It is dangerous for the air conditioner to be relocated by an unqualified individual since a fire, electric shocks,
injury, water leakage, noise and / or vibration may result.
• When carrying out the pump-down work
,
shut down the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipe.
Disconnecting the refrigerant pipe with the service valve left open and the compressor still operating will
cause air, etc. to be sucked in, raising the pressure inside the refrigeration cycle to an abnormally high level,
and possibly resulting in r
upture
, injury, etc.
