• Do not install in a place that might increase the vibration of the unit.

• To avoid personal injury (with sharp edges), be careful when handling parts.

• Perform installation work properly according to the Installation Manual.

Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.

• When the air conditioner is installed in a small room, provide appropriate measures to

ensure that the concentration of refrigerant leakage occur in the room does not exceed the

critical level.

• Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the base can sustain the weight

adequately.

• Perform the specified installation work to guard against an earthquake.

If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the falling unit.

• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.

If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may generate.

• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.

If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas might

generate.

• Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the

Installation Manual. Make sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive power supply.

An insufficient power supply capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.

• Use the specified cables for wiring connect the terminals securely fix. To prevent external

forces applied to the terminals from affecting the terminals.

• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.

Inappropriategroundingmay cause electricshock.
