PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

New refrigerant air conditioner installation

CAUTION

• THIS AIR CONDITIONER USES THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A), WHICH DOES NOT DESTROY THE OZONE LAYER.

R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membranes, and oils because the pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx.

1.6 times of refrigerant R22. As well as the adoption of this new refrigerant, refrigerating machine oil has also been changed. Therefore, during installation
work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigerating machine oil does not enter the refrigeration cycle of a new-refrigerant air conditioner.

To avoid mixing refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of charging port connecting sections on the main unit are different from those for the

conventional refrigerant, and different size tools are also required. For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with high pressure withstand
capabilities, designed for R410A only, and ensure that water or dust does not enter. Moreover, do not use any existing piping as its pressure withstand
may be insuf

cient and may contain impurities.

DANGER

• FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONS ONLY.
• MEANS FOR DISCONNECTION FROM THE SUPPLY HAVING A CONTACT SEPERATION OF AT LEAST 3 mm IN ALL POLES MUST BE

INCORPORATED IN THE FIXED WIRING.

• TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. MAKE SURE ALL POWER SWITCHES ARE OFF. FAILURE

TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE CORRECTLY. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS CONNECTED WRONGLY, ELECTRIC PARTS MAY BE

DAMAGED.

• CHECK THE EARTH WIRE THAT IT IS NOT BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED BEFORE INSTALLATION.
• DO NOT INSTALL NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS OR GAS VAPORS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION CAN

RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

• TO PREVENT OVERHEATING THE INDOOR UNIT AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD, PLACE THE UNIT WELL AWAY (MORE THAN 2 M) FROM

HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEATERS, FURNACE, STOVES, ETC.

• WHEN MOVING THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLING IT IN ANOTHER PLACE AGAIN, BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GET THE SPECIFIED

REFRIGERANT (R410A) WITH ANY OTHER GASEOUS BODY INTO THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE. IF AIR OR ANY OTHER GAS IS MIXED IN
THE REFRIGERANT, THE GAS PRESSURE IN THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE BECOMES ABNORMALLY HIGH AND IT RESULTINGLY CAUSES
BURST OF THE PIPE AND INJURIES ON PERSONS.

• IN THE EVENT THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PIPE DURING THE INSTALLATION WORK, IMMEDIATELY LET FRESH AIR

INTO THE ROOM. IF THE REFRIGERANT GAS IS HEATED BY FIRE OR SOMETHING ELSE, IT CAUSES GENERATION OF POISONOUS GAS.

• WHEN INSTALLING OR RE-INSTALLING THE AIR CONDITIONER, DO NOT INJECT AIR OR OTHER SUBSTANCES BESIDES THE DESIGNATED

REFRIGERANT “R410A” INTO THE REFRIGERATING CYCLE. IF AIR OR OTHER SUBSTANCES ARE MIXED, AN ABNORMAL PRESSURE CAN
OCCUR IN THE REFRIGERATING CYCLE, AND THIS CAN CAUSE AN INJURY DUE TO A PIPE RUPTURE.

For general public use

Power supply cord of parts of appliance shall be at least polychloroprene sheathed

exible cord (design H07RN-F) or cord designation 60245 IEC66

(1.5 mm

or more). (Shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.)

The manufacturer shall not assume any liability for the damage caused by not observing the description of this manual.
Be sure to read this installation manual carefully before installing.
Recommend to the owner to perform maintenance periodically when using over long periods of time.
Be sure to follow the precautions provided here to avoid safety risks. The symbols and their meanings are shown below.

DANGER :

It indicates that incorrect use of this unit can result in a high possibility of severe injury (*1) or death.

WARNING :

It indicates that incorrect use of this unit may cause severe injury or death.

CAUTION :

It indicates that incorrect use of this unit may cause personal injury (*2), or property damage (*3).

*1 : A severe injury refers to blindness, injury, burns (hot or cold), electrical shock, bone fracture, or poisoning that leaves aftereffects and
