Safety precautions

Installing the unit

IMPORTANT: When installing the unit, always remember to connect first the refrigerant tubes, then the electrical lines. Always disassemble the electric lines before the refrigerant tubes.

Upon receipt, inspect the product to verify that it has not been damaged during transport.

If the product appears damaged, DO NOT INSTALL it and immediately report the damage to the carrier or retailer (if the installer or the authorized technician has collected the material from the retailer.)

After completing the installation, always carry out a functional test and provide the instructions on how to operate the air conditioner to the user.

Do not use the air conditioner in environments with hazardous substances or close to equipment that release free flames to avoid the occurrence of fires, explosions or injuries.

To prevent injury when accidentally touching the indoor unit fan, install the indoor unit at least 2.5m above the floor.

The air conditioner should be used only for the applications for which it has been designed : the indoor unit is not suitable to be installed in areas used for laundry.

Our units must be installed in compliance with the spaces indicated in the installation manual to ensure either accessibility from both sides or ability to perform routine maintenance and repairs. The units’components must be accessible and that can be disassembled in conditions of complete safety either for people or things.

For this reason, where it is not observed as indicated into the Installation Manual, the cost necessary to reach and repair the unit (in safety, as required by current regulations in force) with slings, trucks, scaffolding or any other means of elevation won’t be considered in-warranty and charged to end user.

Power supply line, fuse or circuit breaker

Always make sure that the power supply is compliant with current safety standards. Always install the air conditioner in compliance with current local safety standards.

Always verify that a suitable grounding connection is available.

Verify that the voltage and frequency of the power supply comply with the specifications and that the installed power is sufficient to ensure the operation of any other domestic appliance connected to the same electric lines.

Always verify that the cut-off and protection switches are suitably dimensioned.

Verify that the air conditioner is connected to the power supply in accordance with the instructions provided in the wiring diagram included in the manual.

Always verify that electric connections (cable entry, section of leads, protections…) are compliant with the electric specifications and with the instructions provided in the wiring scheme.

Always verify that all connections comply with the standards applicable to the installation of air conditioners.

Choosing the installation location

Indoor unit

Where airflow is not blocked

Where cool air can be distributed throughout the room

Install the refrigerant piping length and the height difference of both indoor and outdoor units as indicated in the installation diagram

Wall that prevents vibration and is strong enough to hold the product weight

Out of the direct sunlight

1m or more away from the TV or radio (to prevent the screen from being distorted or noise from being generated)

As far away as possible from the fluorescent and incandescent lights (so that the remote controller can be operated well)

A place where the air filter can be replaced easily
