Do not install the unit by yourself (user).
Incomplete installation could cause fire or electric
shock, injury due to the unit falling, or leakage of water.
Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the unit

N
Perform the installation securely referring to the
installation manual.
Incomplete installation could cause fire or electric
shock, injury due to the unit falling, or leakage of water.
N
Install the unit securely in a place which can bear
the weight of the unit.
If the installation location cannot bear the weight of the
unit, the unit could fall causing injury.
N
Perform electrical work according to the installation
manual and be sure to use an exclusive circuit. Do
not connect other electrical appliances to the circuit.

When plugging the power supply plug into the
outlet, make sure that there is no dust, clogging,
or loose parts in both the outlet and the plug. Make
sure that the power supply plug is pushed com-
pletely into the outlet.
If there is dust, clogging, or loose parts on the power
supply plug or the outlet, it could cause electric shock or

N
Check that the refrigerant gas does not leak after
installation has been completed.
If refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact
ZLWKWKHÀDPHRIDIDQKHDWHUVSDFHKHDWHUVWRYHHWF
harmful substances will be generated.
N
Use appropriate tools and piping materials for
installation.
The pressure of R410A is 1.6 times more than R22.
Not using appropriate tools or materials and incomplete
installation could cause the pipes to burst or injury.
N
When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the com-
pressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes.
If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected while the com-
pressor is running and the stop valve is open, air could
be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle
could become abnormally high. This could cause the
pipes to burst or injury.
N
When installing the unit, securely connect the re-
frigerant pipes before starting the compressor.
If the compressor is started before the refrigerant pipes
are connected and when the stop valve is open, air
could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration
cycle could become abnormally high. This could cause
the pipes to burst or injury.

Earth the unit correctly.
Do not connect the earth to a gas pipe, water pipe, light-

cause electric shock.
N
Install an earth leakage breaker depending on the
installation place.
If an earth leakage breaker is not installed, it could
cause electric shock.

Perform the drainage/piping work securely accord-
ing to the installation manual.
If there is defect in the drainage/piping work, water
