TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air
conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions
below:

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.

• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.

• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.

• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air
conditioner is used for many hours.

• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

Always comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous situations and ensure peak
performance of your product.

WARNING

!

It can result in serious injury or death when the directions are ignored.

CAUTION

!

It can result in minor injury or product damage when the directions are ignored.

WARNING

!

• Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can result in hazards to you and others.

• Installation of all field wiring and components MUST conform with local building codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code 70 and the National Building
Construction and Safety Code or Canadian Electrical code and National Building Code of
Canada.

• The information contained in the manual is intended for use by a qualified service technician
familiar with safety procedures and equipped with the proper tools and test instruments.

• Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in equipment
malfunction, property damage, personal injury and/or death.

Installation

• Always perform grounding.

- Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock.

• For installation of the product, always contact the service center or a professional installation
agency.

- Otherwise, it may cause a fire, electrical shock, explosion or injury.

• Securely attach the electrical part cover to the indoor unit and the service panel to the outdoor unit.

- If the electrical part cover of the indoor unit and the service panel of the outdoor unit are not

attached securely, it could result in a fire or electric shock due to dust, water, etc.

• Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker and a dedicated switching board.

- No installation may cause a fire and electrical shock.

• Do not keep or use flammable gases or combustibles near the air conditioner.

- Otherwise, it may cause a fire or the failure of product.

• Ensure that an installation frame of the outdoor unit is not damaged due to use for a long time.

- It may cause injury or an accident.

• Do not disassemble or repair the product randomly.

- It will cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not install the product at a place that there is concern of falling down.

- Otherwise, it may result in personal injury.

• Use caution when unpacking and installing.

- Sharp edges may cause injury.

• Use a vacuum pump or Inert (nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not compress
air or Oxygen and Do not use Flammable gases.

- Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion. There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.

• Consult your lacal dealer regarding what to do in case of refrigerant leakage.
When the air conditioner is to be installed in a small room, it is necessary to take proper measures
so that the amount of any leaked refrigerant does not exceed the concentration limit in the event of
a leakage.

- Otherwise, this may lead to an accident due to oxygen depletion.

• Carry out the specified installation work after taking into account earthquakes.
Failure to do so during installation work may result in the unit falling and causing accidents.

Indoor Unit Drain Piping

- Drain piping must have down-slope (1/50 to
1/100): be sure not to provide up-and-down
slope to prevent reversal flow.

- During drain piping connection, be careful
not to exert extra force on the drain port on
the indoor unit.

- The outside diameter of the drain connection
on the indoor unit is 32 mm.

Piping material: Polyvinyl chloride pipe VP-25
and pipe fittings

- Be sure to execute thermal insulator on the
drain piping.

- Install the drain raising pipes at a right
angle to the indoor unit and no more than
300 mm from the unit.

Drain test

- Connect the main drain pipe to the exterior
and leave it provisionally until the test comes
to an end.

- Feed water to the flexible drain hose and
check the piping for leakage.

- When the test is complete, connect the
flexible drain hose to the drain port on the
indoor unit.

1 Use the thermal insulator material for the

refrigerant piping which has an excellent
heat-resistance (over 120 °C).

2 If this air conditioner is operated for a long

time in high humid atmosphere (dew point
temperature: more than 23 °C), water
drops are liable to fall. In this case, add
thermal insulator material according to the
following procedure:

- Thermal insulation material to be
prepared... Adiabatic glass wool with
thickness 10 to 20 mm.

- Stick glass wool on all air conditioners
that are located in ceiling atmosphere.
