For general public use

CAUTION
New refrigerant air conditioner installation
THIS AIR CONDITIONER USES THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A), WHICH DOES NOT DESTROY THE OZONE LAYER.
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membranes, and oils because the pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times of refrigerant R22. As well as the adoption of this new refrigerant, refrigerating machine oil has also been changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigerating machine oil does not enter the refrigeration cycle of a new-refrigerant air conditioner. To avoid mixing refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of charging port connecting sections on the main unit are different from those for the conventional refrigerant, and different size tools are also required. For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with highpressure withstand capabilities, designed for R410A only, and ensure that water or dust does not enter. Moreover, do not use any existing piping as its pressure withstand may be insufficient and may contain impurities.
DANGER
•FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PERSONS ONLY.
•MEANS FOR DISCONNECTION FROM THE SUPPLY HAVING A CONTACT SEPARATION OF AT LEAST 3 mm IN ALL POLES MUST BE INCORPORATED IN THE FIXED WIRING.
•TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. MAKE SURE ALL POWER SWITCHES ARE OFF. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
•CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE CORRECTLY. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS CONNECTED WRONGLY, ELECTRIC PARTS MAY BE DAMAGED.
•CHECK THE EARTH WIRE THAT IT IS NOT BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED BEFORE INSTALLATION.
•DO NOT INSTALL NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS OR GAS VAPORS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
•TO PREVENT OVERHEATING THE INDOOR UNIT AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD, PLACE THE UNIT WELL AWAY (MORE THAN 2 M) FROM HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEATERS, FURNACE, STOVES, ETC.
•WHEN MOVING THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLING IT IN ANOTHER PLACE AGAIN, BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GET THE SPECIFIED REFRIGERANT (R410A) WITH ANY OTHER GASEOUS BODY INTO THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE. IF AIR OR ANY OTHER GAS IS MIXED IN THE REFRIGERANT, THE GAS PRESSURE IN THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE BECOMES ABNORMALLY HIGH AND IT RESULTINGLY CAUSES BURST OF THE PIPE AND INJURIES ON PERSONS.

EN |
•IN THE EVENT THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PIPE DURING THE INSTALLATION WORK, IMMEDIATELY LET FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM. IF THE REFRIGERANT GAS IS HEATED BY FIRE OR SOMETHING ELSE, IT CAUSES GENERATION OF POISONOUS GAS.
•WHEN INSTALLING OR RE-INSTALLING THE AIR CONDITIONER, DO NOT INJECT AIR OR OTHER SUBSTANCES BESIDES THE DESIGNATED REFRIGERANT “R410A” INTO THE REFRIGERATING CYCLE. IF AIR OR OTHER SUBSTANCES ARE MIXED, AN ABNORMAL PRESSURE CAN OCCUR IN THE REFRIGERATING CYCLE, AND THIS CAN CAUSE AN INJURY DUE TO A PIPE RUPTURE.
WARNING
•Installation work must be requested from the supplying retail dealership or professional vendors. Self-installation may cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire as a result of improper installation.
•Specified tools and pipe parts for model R410A are required, and installation work must be done in accordance with the manual. HFC type refrigerant R410A has 1.6 times more pressure than that of conventional refrigerant (R22). Use the specified pipe parts, and ensure correct installation, otherwise damage and/or injury may be caused. At the same time, water leakage, electrical shock, and fire may occur.
•Be sure to install the unit in a place which can sufficiently bear its weight. If the load bearing of the unit is not enough, or installation of the unit is improper, the unit may fall and result in injury.
•Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrical engineer in accordance with the code governing such installation work, internal wiring regulations, and the manual. A dedicated circuit and the rated voltage must be used. Insufficient power supply or improper installation may cause electrical shock or fire.
•Use a cabtyre cable to connect wires in the indoor/outdoor units. Midway connection, stranded wire, and single-wire connections are not allowed. Improper connection or fixing may cause a fire.
•Wiring between the indoor unit and outdoor units must be well shaped so that the cover can be firmly placed. Improper cover installation may cause increased heat, fire, or electrical shock at the terminal area.
•Be sure to use only approved accessories or the specified parts. Failure to do so may cause the unit to fall, water leakage, fire or electrical shock.
•After the installation work, ensure that there is no leakage of refrigerant gas. If the refrigerant gas leaks out of the pipe into the room and is heated by fire or something else from a fanheater, stove or gas range, it causes generation of poisonous gas.
•Make sure the equipment is properly earthed. Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning conductor, or telephone earth wire. Improper earth work may be the cause of electrical shock.
•Do not install the unit where flammable gas may leak. If there is any gas leakage or accumulation around the unit, it can cause a fire.
•Do not select a location for installation where there may be excessive water or humidity, such as a bathroom. Deterioration of insulation may cause electrical shock or fire.
•Installation work must be performed following the instructions in this installation manual. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electrical shock or fire. Check the following items before operating the unit.
-Be sure that the pipe connection is well placed and there are no leaks.
-Check that the service valve is open. If the service valve is closed, it may cause overpressure and result in compressor damage. At the same time, if there is a leak in the connection part, it may cause air suction and overpressure, resulting in damage to the unit or injury.
•In a pump-down operation, be sure to stop the compressor unit before removing the refrigerant pipe. If removing the refrigerant pipe while the compressor is operating with the service valve opened, it may cause air suction and overpressure, resulting in damage to the unit or injury.
•Do not modify the power cable, connect the cable midway, or use a multiple outlet extension cable. Doing so may cause contact failure, insulation failure, or excess current, resulting in fire or electrical shock.
•If you detect any damage, do not install the unit. Contact your supplying dealer immediately.
•Never modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or bypassing any of the safety interlock switches.

CAUTION
•Please read this installation manual carefully before installing the unit. It contains further important instructions for proper installation.
•Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation could result in electric shock. Do not store it in a wet basement or expose to rain or water.
•After unpacking the unit, examine it carefully for possible damage.
•Do not install in a place that can increase the vibration of the unit. Do not install in a place that can amplify the noise level of the unit or where noise and discharged air might disturb neighbors.
•This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by means of a circuit breaker depending on the place where the unit is installed. Failure to do so may cause electrical shock.
•Follow the instructions in this installation manual to arrange the drain pipe for proper drainage from the unit. Ensure that drained water is discharged. Improper drainage can result in water leakage, causing water damage to furniture.
•Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench using the prescribed method. Do not apply excess torque. Otherwise, the nut may crack after a long period of usage and it may cause the leakage of refrigerant.
•Wear gloves (heavy gloves such as cotton gloves) for installation work. Failure to do so may cause personal injury when handling parts with sharp edges.
•Do not touch the air intake section or the aluminum fins of the outdoor unit. It may cause injury.
•Do not install the outdoor unit in a place which can be a nest for small animals. Small animals could enter and contact internal electrical parts, causing a failure or fire.
•Request the user to keep the place around the unit tidy and clean.
•Make sure to conduct a trial operation after the installation work, and explain how to use and maintain the unit to the customer in accordance with the manual. Ask the customer to keep the operation manual along with the installation manual.
REQUIREMENT OF REPORT TO THE LOCAL POWER SUPPLIER
Please make absolutely sure that the installation of this appliance is reported to the local power supplier before installation. If you experience any problems or if the installation is not accepted by the supplier, the service agency will take adequate countermeasures.
