Read before installation and performing electrical work
Thoroughly read the following safety precautions prior to installation.
Observe these safety precautions for your safety.
This equipment may have adverse effects on the equipment on the same power supply system.
Contact the local power authority before connecting to the system.
Symbol explanations
This symbol indicates that failure to follow the instructions exactly as stated poses the risk of serious injury or death.
This symbol indicates that failure to follow the instructions exactly as stated poses the risk of serious injury or dam-
age to the unit.
Indicates an action that must be avoided.
Indicates important instructions.
Indicates a parts that requires grounding.
Indicates that caution must be taken with rotating parts. (This symbol is on the main unit label.) <Color: Yellow>
Indicates that the parts that are marked with this symbol pose a risk of electric shock. (This symbol is on the main
unit label.) <Color: Yellow>
Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.
Do not use refrigerant other than the type indicated in the
manuals provided with the unit and on the nameplate.
Doing so may cause the unit or pipes to burst, or result in
explosion or fire during use, during repair, or at the time of
disposal of the unit.
It may also be in violation of applicable laws.
MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION cannot be held
responsible for malfunctions or accidents resulting from the
use of the wrong type of refrigerant.
Ask your dealer or a qualified technician to install the unit.
Improper installation by the user may result in water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
Properly install the unit on a surface that can withstand its
weight.
Unit installed on an unstable surface may fall and cause injury.
Only use specified cables. Securely connect each cable so
that the terminals do not carry the weight of the cable.
Improperly connected cables may produce heat and start a
fire.
Take appropriate safety measures against wind gusts and
earthquakes to prevent the unit from toppling over.
Improper installation may cause the unit to topple over and
cause injury or damage to the unit.
Only use accessories (i.e., air cleaners, humidifiers, electric
heaters) recommended by Mitsubishi Electric.
Do not make any modifications or alterations to the unit.
Consult your dealer for repair.
Improper repair may result in water leakage, electric shock,
or fire.
Do not touch the heat exchanger fins with bare hands.
The fins are sharp and pose a risk of cuts.
In the event of a refrigerant leak, thoroughly ventilate the
room.
If gaseous refrigerant leaks out and comes in contact with
an open flame, toxic gases will be generated.
Properly install the unit according to the instructions in the
Installation Manual.
Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric
shock, or fire.
HWE1405AGB
ii
Have all electrical work performed by an authorized electrician according to the local regulations and the instructions
in this manual. Use a dedicated circuit.
Insufficient power supply capacity or improper installation
of the unit may result in malfunctions of the unit, electric
shock, or fire.
Keep electrical parts away from water.
Wet electrical parts pose a risk of electric shock, smoke, or
fire.
Consult your dealer or a qualified technician when moving
or reinstalling the unit.
Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric
shock, or fire.
After completing the service work, check for a refrigerant
leak.
If leaked refrigerant is exposed to a heat source, such as a
fan heater, stove, or electric grill, toxic gases will be generated.
Securely attach the control box cover.
If the cover is not installed properly, dust or water may infiltrate and pose a risk of electric shock, smoke, or fire.
Only use the type of refrigerant that is indicated on the unit
when installing or relocating the unit.
Infiltration of any other types of refrigerant or air into the unit
may adversely affect the refrigerant cycle and may cause
the pipes to burst or explode.
When installing the unit in a small space, take appropriate
precautions to prevent leaked refrigerant from reaching the
limiting concentration.
Leaked refrigerant gas will displace oxygen and may cause
oxygen starvation. Consult your dealer before installing the
unit.
Do not try to defeat the safety features of the unit.
Forced operation of the pressure switch or the temperature
switch by defeating the safety features for these devices, or
the use of accessories other than the ones that are recommended by Mitsubishi Electric may result in smoke, fire, or
explosion.
Consult your dealer for proper disposal method.
Do not use a leak detection additive.

CAUTION
Precautions for handling units for use with R410A
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
A large amount of chlorine that may be contained in the residual refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping
may cause the refrigerator oil in the new unit to deteriorate.
Use refrigerant piping materials made of phosphorus deoxidized copper. Keep the inner and outer surfaces of the
pipes clean and free of such contaminants as sulfur, oxides,
dust, dirt, shaving particles, oil, and moisture.
Contaminants in the refrigerant piping may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Store the piping materials indoors, and keep both ends of
the pipes sealed until immediately before brazing. (Keep elbows and other joints wrapped in plastic.)
Infiltration of dust, dirt, or water into the refrigerant system
may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate or cause the
compressor to malfunction.
Use a small amount of ester oil, ether oil, or alkyl benzene
to coat flares and flanges.
Infiltration of a large amount of mineral oil may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Charge the system with refrigerant in the liquid phase.
If gaseous refrigerant is drawn out of the cylinder first, the
composition of the remaining refrigerant in the cylinder will
change and become unsuitable for use.
Only use R410A.
The use of other types of refrigerant that contain chloride
may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Use a vacuum pump with a check valve.
If a vacuum pump that is not equipped with a check valve is
used, the vacuum pump oil may flow into the refrigerant cycle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Prepare tools for exclusive use with R 410A. Do not use the
following tools if they have been used with the conventional
refrigerant: gauge manifold, charging hose, gas leak detector, check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge,
and refrigerant recovery equipment.
If the refrigerant or the refrigerator oil that may be left on these
tools are mixed in with R410A, it may cause the refrigerator oil
in the new system to deteriorate.
Infiltration of water may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not detect an
R410A leak because R410A is free of chlorine.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of the refrigerant
in the cylinder will change and become unsuitable for use.
Exercise special care when handling tools for use with R410A.
Infiltration of dust, dirt, or water into the refrigerant system
may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Once the operation mode is selected, the unit will remain in the selected mode until changed.
