This symbol refers to a hazard
or unsafe practice which can
result in personal injury or product or property damage.
If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation
sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a
special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your
certified dealer for additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for improper installation or maintenance service, including failure to

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
When Wiring
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A
QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN
SHOULD ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS SYSTEM.
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing
are completed or reconnected and checked.
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this
system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these
instructions when wiring. Improper connections and
inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or
death.
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause overheating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when
lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing…
…In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the
unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong
wood or metal frame to provide added support.
…In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.
…In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a
solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents
water damage and abnormal vibration.
…In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a
metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher
than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of
the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then
tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free
connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before
opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and
wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check
that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside
the unit being serviced.
Others
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing
the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on
contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously
toxic gas.
• Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant
gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a
stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat
source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas.

run to the outside unit.
G When left tubing is to be done, switch the drain hose
and drain cap. (For details, refer to “Switching drain
hose and drain cap” on page 14.)
3-2. Make a Hole
(1) Place the rear panel from the indoor unit on the wall
at the location selected. Make sure the panel is horizontal, using a carpenter’s level or tape measure to
measure down from the ceiling. Wait until after cutting the hole before attaching the rear panel to the
wall.
(2) Determine which side of the unit you should make
the hole for tubing and wiring. (Fig. 9)
In the case of left-rear tubing, use the measurement
points 2-3/4" (70 mm) from the edge of the rear panel for
precise placement of the hose outlet. (Fig. 9)
(3) Before making the hole, check carefully that no
studs or pipes are directly run behind the spot to be
cut.
The above precautions are also applicable if tubing
goes through the wall in any other location.
