nails and wood. And to avoid danger of suffocation, be sure to keep the
plastic wrapper away from children and to dispose after tear it up.
For installation work, be careful not to get injured with the heat
exchanger, piping flare portion or screws etc.
Be sure to insulate the refrigerant pipes so as not to condense
the ambient air moisture on them.
Insufficient insulation can cause condensation, which can lead to
moisture damage on the ceiling, floor, furniture and any other valuables.
When perform the air-conditioner operation (cooling or drying
operation) in which ventilator is installed in the room. In this
case, using the air-conditioner in parallel with the ventilator,
there is the possibility that drain water may backflow in
accordance with the room lapse into the negative pressure
status. Therefore, set up the opening port such as incorporate
the air into the room that may appropriate to ventilation (For
example; Open the door a little). In addition, just as above, so
set up the opening port if the room lapse into negative pressure
status due to register of the wind for the high rise apartment etc.
Be sure to perform air tightness test by pressurizing with
nitrogen gas after completed refrigerant piping work.
If the density of refrigerant exceeds the limit in the event of refrigerant
leakage in the small room, lack of oxygen can occur, which can
cause serious accidents.
