Precaution for Safety

The manufacturer shall not assume any liability for the damage caused by not observing the description of this manual.

DANGER

	Before carrying out the installation, maintenance, repair or removal work, be sure to set the circuit
	breaker to the OFF position. Otherwise, electric shocks may result.
	Before opening the intake grille of the indoor unit or service panel of the outdoor unit, set the circuit
	breaker to the OFF position. Failure to set the circuit breaker to the OFF position may result in electric
	shocks through contact with the interior parts. Only a qualified installer (*1) or qualified service person
	(*1) is allowed to remove the intake grille of the indoor unit or service panel of the outdoor unit and do
	the work required.

	place a “Work in progress” sign near the circuit breaker before proceeding with the work.
	When you access inside of the service panel to repair electric parts, wait for about five minutes after
	turning off the breaker. Do not start repairing immediately. Otherwise you may get electric shock by
	touching terminals of high-voltage capacitors. Natural discharge of the capacitor takes about five
	minutes.
Electric shock	Before operating the air conditioner after having completed the work, check that the electrical parts
	box cover of the indoor unit and service panel of the outdoor unit are closed, and set the circuit

	breaker to the ON position. You may receive an electric shock etc. if the power is turned on without first
	conducting these checks.
	Even if the circuit breaker has been set to the OFF position before the service panel is removed and
	the electrical parts are repaired, you will still risk receiving an electric shock.
Execute	For this reason, short-circuit the high-voltage capacitor terminals to discharge the voltage before
	proceeding with the repair work. For details on the short-circuiting procedure, refer to the Service
