Safety Precautions - Panasonic WH-ADF0309J3E5CM Service Manual

1. Safety Precautions


Read the following "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" carefully before installation.

Electrical work must be installed by a licensed electrician. Be sure to use the correct rating of the power plug and
main circuit for the model to be installed.

The caution items stated here must be followed because these important contents are related to safety. The
meaning of each indication used is as below. Incorrect installation due to ignoring of the instruction will cause
harm or damage, and the seriousness is classified by the following indications.
WARNING This indication shows the possibility of causing death or serious injury.
CAUTION This indication shows the possibility of causing injury or damage to properties only.

The items to be followed are classified by the symbols:
Symbol with white background denotes item that is PROHIBITED.
Symbol with dark background denotes item that must be carried out.

Carry out test running to confirm that no abnormality occurs after the installation. Then, explain to user the
operation, care and maintenance as stated in instructions. Please remind the customer to keep the operating
instructions for future reference.
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Any unfit
1.
method or using incompatible material may cause product damage, burst and serious injury.
Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-conditioner unit on veranda of a high rise building, child may
2.
climb up to outdoor unit and cross over the handrail causing an accident.
Do not use unspecified cord, modified cord, joint cord or extension cord for power supply cord. Do not share the single outlet with
3.
other electrical appliances. Poor contact, poor insulation or over current will cause electrical shock or fire.
4. Do not tie up the power supply cord into a bundle by band. Abnormal temperature rise on power supply cord may happen.
5. Do not insert your fingers or other objects into the unit, high speed rotating fan may cause injury.
6. Do not sit or step on the unit, you may fall down accidentally.
7. Keep plastic bag (packaging material) away from small children, it may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.
When installing or relocating air conditioner, do not let any substance other than the specified refrigerant, eg. air etc mix into
8.
refrigeration cycle (piping). Mixing of air etc. will cause abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
Auxiliary devices which may be a potential ignition source shall not be installed in the duct work. Examples of such potential
9.
ignition sources are hot surfaces with a temperature exceeding 700ºC and electric switching devices.
For appliances connected via an air duct system to one or more rooms, only auxiliary devices approved by the appliance manufacturer
10.
or declared suitable with the refrigerant shall be installed in connecting ductwork.
Do not pierce or burn as the appliance is pressurized. Do not expose the appliance to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition.
11.
Else, it may explode and cause injury or death.
12. Do not add or replace refrigerant other than specified type. It may cause product damage, burst and injury etc.

For R32/R410A model, use piping, flare nut and tools which is specified for R32/R410A refrigerant. Using of existing (R22)
piping, flare nut and tools may cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigerant cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion
and injury.
For R32 and R410A, the same flare nut on the outdoor unit side and pipe can be used.

13. Since the working pressure for R32/R410A is higher than that of refrigerant R22 model, replacing conventional piping and flare
nuts on the outdoor unit side are recommended.

If reuse piping is unavoidable, refer to instruction "IN CASE OF REUSING EXISTING REFRIGERANT PIPING"

Thickness of copper pipes used with R32/R410A must be more than 0.8 mm. Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.8 mm.

It is desirable that the amount of residual oil less than 40 mg/10 m.
Engage authorized dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is incorrect, it will cause water leakage, electrical
14.
shock or fire.
For refrigeration system work, install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water
15.
leakage, electrical shock or fire.
