Precautions for safety
The manufacturer shall not assume any liability for the damage
caused by not observing the description of this manual.
WARNING
General
• Carefully read Owner’s Manual before starting the air conditioner.
There are many important things to keep in mind for daily operation.
• Ask for installation to be performed by the dealer or a professional.
Only a quali
fi
ed installer (*1) is able to install an air conditioner. If
a non-quali
fi
ed person installs an air conditioner, it may result in
problems such as
fi
re, electric shock, injury, water leakage, noise
and vibration.
• Do not use any refrigerant different from the one speci
fi
ed for
complement or replacement. Otherwise, abnormally high pressure
may be generated in the refrigeration cycle, which may result in a
failure or explosion of the product or an injury to your body.
• Places where the operation sound of the outdoor unit may cause a
disturbance. (Especially at the boundary line with a neighbor, install
the air conditioner while considering the noise.)
Transportation and storage
• When transporting the air conditioner, wear shoes with protective
toe caps, protective gloves, and other protective clothing.
• When transporting the air conditioner, do not take hold of the bands
around the packing carton. You may injure yourself if the bands
should break.
• When stacking the packing cartons for storage or transportation,
heed the precautions written on the packing cartons. Failure to heed
the precautions may cause the stack to collapse.
• You shall ensure that the air conditioner is transported in stable
condition. If you
fi
nd any part of the product broken, contact your
dealer.
Installation
• Only a quali
fi
ed installer(*1) or quali
fi
ed service person(*1) is allowed
to carry out the electrical work of the air conditioner. Under no
circumstances must this work be done by an unquali
fi
ed individual
since failure to carry out the work properly may result in electric
shocks and/or electrical leaks.
• After the installation work has been completed, have the installer
explain about the circuit breaker positions. In the event that error
has occurred in the air conditioner, set the circuit breaker to the OFF
position, and contact a service person.
• 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 de
fi
ciency
accident.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to
a risk of exposure to a combustible gas. If a combustible gas leaks
and becomes concentrated around the unit, a
fi
re may occur.
• Be sure to use the company-speci
fi
ed products for the separately
purchased parts. Use of non-speci
fi
ed products may result in
fi
re,
electric shock, water leakage, etc. Have the installation performed
by a professional.
• Con
fi
rm that earthing is performed correctly.
Operation
• Before opening the intake grille of the indoor unit or service panel of
the outdoor unit, set the circuit breaker to the OFF position. Failure
to set the circuit breaker to the OFF position may result in electric
shocks through contact with the interior parts. Only a quali
fi
ed
installer(*1) or quali
fi
ed service person(*1) is allowed to remove the
intake grille of the indoor unit or service panel of the outdoor unit
and do the work required.
• Inside the air conditioner are high-voltage areas and rotating parts.
Due to the danger of electric shocks or of your
fi
ngers or physical
objects becoming trapped in the rotating parts, do not remove the
intake grille of the indoor unit or service panel of the outdoor unit.
When work involving the removal of these parts is required, contact
a quali
fi
ed installer or a quali
fi
ed service person.
