When the service panel of the outdoor unit is to be opened in order for the compressor or the area
around this part to be repaired immediately after the air conditioner has been shut down, set the circuit
breaker to the OFF position, and then wait at least 10 minutes before opening the service panel.
If you fail to heed this warning, you will run the risk of burning yourself because the compressor pipes
and other parts will be very hot to the touch. In addition, before proceeding with the repair work, wear
the kind of insulated heat-resistant gloves designed to protect electricians.
Take care not to get burned by compressor pipes or other parts when checking the cooling cycle while
running the unit as they get heated while running. Be sure to put on gloves providing protection for heat.
When the service panel of the outdoor unit is to be opened in order for the fan motor, reactor, inverter
or the areas around these parts to be repaired immediately after the air conditioner has been shut
down, set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and then wait at least 10 minutes before opening the
service panel.
If you fail to heed this warning, you will run the risk of burning yourself because the fan motor, reactor,
inverter heat sink and other parts will be very hot to the touch.
In addition, before proceeding with the repair work, wear the kind of insulated heat-resistant gloves
designed to protect electricians.
Installation
Cooling check
Only a qualified installer or service person is allowed to do installation work. Inappropriate installation
may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.
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 overflow may occur on the terminal block and may result in fire.
Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to a risk of expire to a combustible gas.
If a combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
Install the indoor unit at least 2.5 m above the floor level since otherwise the users may injure
themselves or receive electric shocks if they poke their fingers or other objects into the indoor unit
while the air conditioner is running.
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 reputing, injury, etc.
(*1) Refer to the “Definition of Qualified Installer or Qualified Service Person”
