General safety precautions WARNING Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks: ▪ Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen deficiency. ▪ Toxic gas might be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire. WARNING ALWAYS recover the refrigerant.
General safety precautions Then A siphon tube is NOT present Charge with the cylinder upside down. ▪ Open refrigerant cylinders slowly. ▪ Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may prevent normal operation. CAUTION When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank immediately.
Page 14
General safety precautions WARNING ▪ ONLY use copper wires. ▪ Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable legislation. ▪ All field wiring MUST be performed in accordance with the wiring diagram supplied with the product. ▪ NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they do NOT come in contact with the piping and sharp edges.
Page 15
General safety precautions Install power cables at least 1 meter away from televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 meter may NOT be sufficient. NOTICE ONLY applicable if the power supply is three‑phase, and the compressor has an ON/ OFF starting method.
WARNING Make sure installation, servicing, maintenance, repair and applied materials follow the instructions from Daikin (including all documents listed in “Documentation set”) and, in addition, comply with applicable legislation and are performed by qualified persons only. In Europe and areas where IEC standards apply, EN/IEC 60335-2-40 is the applicable standard.

User safety instructions ▪ Units are marked with the following symbol: This means that electrical and electronic products may NOT be mixed with unsorted household waste. Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: dismantling the system, treatment of the refrigerant, of oil and of other parts MUST be done by an authorised installer and MUST comply with applicable legislation.
Page 21
User safety instructions CAUTION ▪ NEVER touch the internal parts of the controller. ▪ Do NOT remove the front panel. Some parts inside are dangerous to touch and appliance problems may happen. For checking and adjusting the internal parts, contact your dealer. WARNING This unit contains electrical and hot parts.
Page 22
User safety instructions WARNING For units using the R32 refrigerant it is necessary to keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstructions. Maintenance and service (see "10 Maintenance and service" [ 33]) CAUTION: Pay attention to the fan! It is dangerous to inspect the unit while the fan is running. Make sure to turn OFF the main switch before executing any maintenance task.
Page 23
User safety instructions DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION Disconnect the power supply for more than 10 minutes, and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before servicing. The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you can touch electrical components.
Page 24
User safety instructions WARNING ▪ R410A is a non-combustible refrigerant, and R32 is a mildly flammable refrigerant; they normally do NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the room and comes into contact with fire from a burner, a heater, or a cooker, this may result in a fire (in case of R32), or the formation of a harmful gas.
About the system 5 About the system WARNING ▪ Do NOT modify, disassemble, remove, reinstall or repair the unit yourself as incorrect dismantling or installation may cause an electrical shock or fire. Contact your dealer. ▪ In case of accidental refrigerant leaks, make sure there are no naked flames. The refrigerant itself is entirely safe and non-toxic.
User interface 6 User interface CAUTION ▪ NEVER touch the internal parts of the controller. ▪ Do NOT remove the front panel. Some parts inside are dangerous to touch and appliance problems may happen. For checking and adjusting the internal parts, contact your dealer.
Before operation 7 Before operation WARNING This unit contains electrical and hot parts. WARNING Before operating the unit, be sure the installation has been carried out correctly by an installer. CAUTION It is unhealthy to expose your body to the air flow for a long time. CAUTION To avoid oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room sufficiently if equipment with burner is used together with the system.
Operation 8 Operation 8.1 Operation range INFORMATION For the operation limits see the technical data of the connected outdoor unit. 8.2 About operation modes INFORMATION Depending on the installed system, some operation modes will not be available. ▪ The air flow rate may adjust itself depending on the room temperature or the fan may stop immediately.
Operation 8.2.2 Special heating operation modes Operation Description Defrost To prevent a loss of heating capacity due to frost accumulation in the outdoor unit, the system will automatically switch to defrost operation. During defrost operation, the indoor unit fan will stop operation, and the following icon will appear on the home screen: The system will resume normal operation after approximately 6...

Maintenance and service 10 Maintenance and service 10.1 Precautions for maintenance and service NOTICE Maintenance MUST be done by an authorised installer or service agent. We recommend performing maintenance at least once a year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter maintenance intervals. CAUTION: Pay attention to the fan! It is dangerous to inspect the unit while the fan is running.
Maintenance and service NOTICE When cleaning the heat exchanger, make sure to remove the electronic components above it. Water or detergent might deteriorate the insulation of electronic components and result in burnout of these components. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION Disconnect the power supply for more than 10 minutes, and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before servicing.
