WARNING
General
•Before starting to install the air conditioner, read carefully through the Installation Manual, and follow its instructions to install the air conditioner.
•Only a qualified installer (*1) or qualified service person (*1) is allowed to install the air conditioner.
If the air conditioner is installed by an unqualified individual, a fire, electric shocks, injury, water leakage, noise and/or vibration 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.
•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.
•Place a “Work in progress” sign near the circuit breaker while the installation, maintenance, repair or removal work is
being carried out. There is a danger of electric shocks if the circuit breaker is set to ON by mistake.
•Only a qualified installer (∗1) or qualified service person (∗1) is allowed to undertake work at heights using a stand of 50 cm or more or to remove the intake grille of the indoor unit to undertake work.
•Wear protective gloves and safety work clothing during installation, servicing and removal.
•Do not touch the aluminium fin of the outdoor unit. You may injure yourself if you do so.
If the fin must be touched for some reason, first put on protective gloves and safety work clothing, and then proceed.
•Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit.
You may fall or the objects may fall off of the outdoor unit and result in injury.
•When working at heights, use a ladder which complies with the ISO 14122 standard, and follow the procedure in the ladder’s instructions. Also wear a helmet for use in industry as protective gear to undertake the work.
•When cleaning the filter or other parts of the outdoor unit, set the circuit breaker to OFF without fail, and place a “Work in progress” sign near the circuit breaker before proceeding with the work.
•When working at heights, put a sign in place so that no-one will approach the work location, before proceeding with the work. Parts and other objects may fall from above, possibly injuring a person below.
•The refrigerant used by this air conditioner is the R410A.
•You shall ensure that the air conditioner is transported in stable condition.
•Do not move or repair any unit by yourself. There is high voltage inside the unit. You may get electric shock when removing the cover and main unit.
Selection of installation location
•If you install the unit in a small room, take appropriate measures to prevent the refrigerant from exceeding the limit concentration even if it leaks.
Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the air conditioner when you implement the measures. Accumulation of highly concentrated refrigerant may cause an oxygen deficiency accident.
•Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to a risk of exposure to a combustible gas. If a combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
•When transporting the air conditioner, wear shoes with additional protective toe caps.
•When transporting the air conditioner, do not take hold of the bands around the packing carton. You may injure yourself if the bands should break.
•Install the indoor unit at least 2.5 m above the floor level since otherwise the users may injure themselves or receive electric shocks if they poke their fingers or other objects into the indoor unit while the air conditioner is running.
•Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to the wind of air conditioner, otherwise it may cause imperfect combustion.
Installation
•When the indoor unit is to be suspended, the designated hanging bolts (M10 or W3/8) and nuts (M10 or W3/8) must be used.
•Install the air conditioner at enough strong places to withstand the weight of the unit. If the strength is not enough, the unit may fall down resulting in injury.
•Follow the instructions in the Installation Manual to install the air conditioner. Failure to follow these instructions may cause the product to fall down or topple over or give rise to noise, vibration, water leakage, etc.
•The designated bolts (M10, M12) and nuts (M10, M12) for securing the outdoor unit must be used when installing the unit.
•Install the outdoor unit property in a location that is durable enough to support the weight of the outdoor unit. Insufficient durability may cause the outdoor unit to fall, which may result in injury.

Refrigerant piping
•Install the refrigerant pipe securely during the installation work before operating the air conditioner.
If the compressor is operated with the valve open and without refrigerant pipe, the compressor sucks air and the refrigeration cycles is over pressurized, which may cause a injury.
•Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner.
Excessive tighten of the flare nut may cause a crack in the flare nut after a long period, which may result in refrigerant leakage.
•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 may be generated.
•When the air conditioner has been installed or relocated, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and purge the air completely so that no gases other than the refrigerant will be mixed in the refrigerating cycle.
Failure to purge the air completely may cause the air conditioner to malfunction.
•Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test.
•The charge hose must be connected in such a way that it is not slack.
•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 be generated.
Electrical wiring
•Only a qualified installer (∗1) or qualified service person (∗1) is allowed to carry out the electrical work of the air conditioner. Under no circumstances must this work be done by an unqualified individual since failure to carry out the work properly may result in electric shocks and/or electrical leaks.
•When connecting the electrical wires, repairing the electrical parts or undertaking other electrical jobs, wear gloves to provide protection for electricians and from heat, insulating shoes and clothing to provide protection from electric shocks.
Failure to wear this protective gear may result in electric shocks.
•Use wiring that meets the specifications in the Installation Manual and the stipulations in the local regulations and laws.
Use of wiring which does not meet the specifications may give rise to electric shocks, electrical leakage, smoking and/or a fire.
•Be sure to connect earth wire. (Grounding work) Incomplete grounding causes an electric shock.
•Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, and lightning rods or ground wires for telephone wires.
•After completing the repair or relocation work, check that the ground wires are connected properly.
•Install a circuit breaker that meets the specifications in the installation manual and the stipulations in the local regulations and laws.
•Install the circuit breaker where it can be easily accessed by the agent.
•When installing the circuit breaker outdoors, install one which is designed to be used outdoors.
•Under no circumstances must the power cable be extended.
Connection trouble in the places where the cable is extended may give rise to smoking and/or a fire.
•Electrical wiring work shall be conducted according to law and regulation in the community and installation manual. Failure to do so may result in electrocution or short circuit.
Test run
•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 if the power is turned on without first conducting these checks.
•When you have noticed that some kind of trouble (such as when an error display has appeared, there is a smell of burning, abnormal sounds are heard, the air conditioner fails to cool or heat or water is leaking) has occurred in the air conditioner, do not touch the air conditioner yourself but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a qualified service person.
Take steps to ensure that the power will not be turned on (by marking “out of service” near the circuit breaker, for instance) until qualified service person arrives.
Continuing to use the air conditioner in the trouble status may cause mechanical problems to escalate or result in electric shocks, etc.
•After the work has finished, be sure to use an insulation tester set (500V Megger) to check the resistance is 2 MΩ or more between the charge section and the non-charge metal section (Earth section).
If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a leak or electric shock is caused at user’s side.
•Upon completion of the installation work, check for refrigerant leaks and check the insulation resistance and water drainage. Then conduct a test run to check that the air conditioner is operating properly.
Explanations given to user
•Upon completion of the installation work, tell the user where the circuit breaker is located.
If the user does not know where the circuit breaker is, he or she will not be able to turn it off in the event that trouble has occurred in the air conditioner.
•If you have discovered that the fan grille is damaged, do not approach the outdoor unit but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a qualified service person (∗1) to have the repairs done.
Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position until the repairs are completed.
•After the installation work, follow the Owner’s Manual to explain to the customer how to use and maintain the unit.
Relocation
•Only a qualified installer (∗1) or qualified service person (∗1) is allowed to relocate the air conditioner.
It is dangerous for the air conditioner to be relocated by an unqualified individual since a fire, electric shocks, injury, water leakage, noise and/or vibration may result.
•When carrying out the pump-down work shut down the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipe. Disconnecting the refrigerant pipe with the service valve left open and the compressor still operating will cause air, etc. to be sucked in, raising the pressure inside the refrigeration cycle to an abnormally high level, and possibly resulting in rupture, injury or other trouble.
(∗1) Refer to the “Definition of Qualified Installer or Qualified Service Person.”
