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
Electrical work should be performed by a qualified,
experienced electrician, according to the installation
manual. Be sure to use an exclusive circuit. Do not
connect other electrical appliances to the circuit.
If the capacity of the power circuit is insufficient or there
is incomplete electrical work, it could result in a fire or
an electric shock.
N
Earth the unit correctly.
Do not connect the earth to a gas pipe, water pipe, light-
ning rod or telephone earth. Defective earthing could
cause electric shock.
N
Do not damage the wires by applying excessive
pressure with parts or screws.
Damaged wires could cause fire or electric shock.
N
Be sure to cut off the main power in case of setting
up the indoor P.C. board or wiring works.
Failure to do so could cause electric shock.
N
Use the specified wires to connect the indoor and
outdoor units securely and attach the wires firmly to
the terminal block connecting sections so the stress
of the wires is not applied to the sections. Do not
extend the wires, or use intermediate connection.
Incomplete connecting and securing could cause fire.
N
Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable
gas may leak.
If gas leaks and accumulates in the area around the
unit, it could cause an explosion.
N
Do not use intermediate connection of the power
cord or the extension cord and do not connect
many devices to one AC outlet.
It could cause a fire or an electric shock due to defec-
tive contact, defective insulation, exceeding the permissible current, etc.
N
Be sure to use the parts provided or specified parts
for the installation work.
The use of defective parts could cause an injury or leakage
of water due to a fire, an electric shock, the unit falling, etc.
N
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 completely into the outlet.
If there is dust, clogging, or loose parts on the power sup-
ply plug or the outlet, it could cause electric shock or fire. If
loose parts are found on the power supply plug, replace it.
N

N
When installing or relocating the unit, make sure
that no substance other than the specified refrigerant (R410A) enters the refrigerant circuit.
Any presence of foreign substance such as air can
cause abnormal pressure rise and may result in explosion or injury.
N
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. If
refrigerant leaks during installation, ventilate the room.
If refrigerant comes in contact with a fire, harmful gas
could be generated.
N
Check that the refrigerant gas does not leak after
installation has been completed.
If refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact
with the flame of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc.,
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 compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes.
If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected while the compressor 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 refrigerant 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.
N
Fasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as specified
in this manual.
If fastened too tight, a flare nut may break after a long
period and cause refrigerant leakage.
N
The unit shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
N

details.
Checking the remote (infrared) signal reception
Press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller (6) and check that an electronic sound
is heard from the indoor unit. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the air conditioner
off.
• Once the compressor stops, the restart preventive device operates so the compressor
will not operate for 3 minutes to protect the air conditioner.
4-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION
This product is equipped with an auto restart function. When the power supply is stopped
during operation, such as during blackouts, the function automatically starts operation in
the previous setting once the power supply is resumed. (Refer to the operating instructions for details.)
4-4. EXPLANATION TO THE USER
• Using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, explain to the user how to use the air conditioner (how to use the remote controller, how to remove the air filters, how to remove
or put the remote controller in the remote controller holder, how to clean, precautions
for operation, etc.)
• Recommend the user to read the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS carefully.
5-1. REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE PANEL ASSEMBLY
5-3. PUMPING DOWN
When relocating or disposing of the air conditioner, pump down the system following the
procedure below so that no refrigerant is released into the atmosphere.
1) Connect the gauge manifold valve to the service port of the stop valve on the gas pipe
side of the outdoor unit.
2) Fully close the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3) Close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit almost completely so that
it can be easily closed fully when the pressure gauge shows 0 MPa [Gauge] (0 kgf/
cm2).
4) Start the emergency COOL operation.
To start the emergency operation in COOL mode, disconnect the power supply plug
and/or turn off the breaker. After 15 seconds, connect the power supply plug and/or
turn on the breaker, and then press the E.O. SW once. (The emergency COOL
operation can be performed continuously for up to 30 minutes.)
5) Fully close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit when the pressure
gauge shows 0.05 to 0 MPa [Gauge] (approx. 0.5 to 0 kgf/cm
2
).
6) Stop the emergency COOL operation.
Press the E.O. SW several times until all LED lamps turn off. Refer to operating in-
structions for details.
5-2. REMOVING THE INDOOR UNIT
Remove the bottom of the indoor unit from the installation
plate.
When releasing the corner part, release both left and right
bottom corner part of indoor unit and pull it downward and
forward as shown in the figure on the right.
If the above method cannot be used
Remove the panel. Then, insert hexagonal wrenches into the square holes on the left and
right sides of the unit and push them up as shown in the following figure. The bottom of
the indoor unit lowers and releases the hooks.
Removal procedure
1)
Remove the 2 screws which fix the panel assembly.
2) Remove the panel assembly. Be sure to remove
its bottom end first.
Installation procedure
1) Install the panel assembly following the removal
procedure in reverse.
2) Be sure to press the positions as indicated by the
arrows in order to attach the assembly completely
to the unit.

Precautions when using the control valve
When attaching the control valve
to the service port, valve core may
deform or loosen if excess pressure
is applied. This may cause gas leak.

3) Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
4) Check the vacuum with gauge manifold valve, then close gauge manifold valve, and
stop the vacuum pump.
5) Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure pointer gauge manifold valve remains
in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows –0.101 MPa [Gauge] (–760
mmHg).
6) Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.
7) After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on both
sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe. Operating without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble.
8) Refer to 1-3., and charge the prescribed amount of refrigerant if needed. Be sure to
charge slowly with liquid refrigerant. Otherwise, composition of the refrigerant in the
system may be changed and affect performance of the air conditioner.
9) Tighten cap of service port to obtain the initial status.
10) Leak test

Caution:
• After test run or remote signal reception check, turn off the unit with the E.O. SW or
the remote controller before turning off the power supply. Not doing so will cause the
unit to start operation automatically when power supply is resumed.
To the user
• After installing the unit, make sure to explain the user about auto restart function.
• If auto restart function is unnecessary, it can be deactivated. Consult the service
representative to deactivate the function. Refer to the service manual for details.
