Daikin FCA71AV16 Installation Manual page 3

• If refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate the area immediately.
Toxic gas may be produced if the refrigerant comes into contact with fire.
• After completing installation, check for refrigerant gas leakage.
Toxic gas may be produced if the refrigerant gas leaks into the room and comes into contact with a source of fire, such as a fan
heater, stove or cooker.
• When installing or relocating the air conditioner, be sure to bleed the refrigerant circuit to ensure, it is free of air, and use only
the specified refrigerant (R32).
The presence of air or other foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit causes abnormal pressure rise, which may result in
equipment damage and even injury.
• Be sure to switch off the unit before touching any electrical parts.
• Do not directly touch refrigerant that has leaked from refrigerant pipes or other areas, as there is a danger of frostbite.
• Be sure to earth the air conditioner.
Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth lead.
Imperfect earthing may result in electric shocks or fire.
A high surge current from lightning or other sources may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in electric shocks or fire.
• Consult your local dealer regarding what to do in case of refrigerant leakage. When the air coditioner is to be installed in a
small room, it is necessary to take proper measures so that the amount of any leaked refrigerant does not exceed the
concentration limit in the event of a leakage. Otherwise, this may lead to an accident due to oxygen depletion.
• Do not allow children to climb on the outdoor unit and avoid placing objects on the unit.
Injury may result if the unit becomes loose and falls.
• The appliance must be stored in a room without continuosly operating ignition sources
(for example : open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that refrigerant may not contain an odour.
• Floor area required for installation of the equipment, refer to the installation manual of the outdoor unit.
• Comply with national gas regulations.
• When flared joints are reused indoors, the flare part shall be re-fabricated.

CAUTION------------------------
• While following the instructions in this installation manual, install drain piping to ensure proper drainage and insulate piping to
prevent condensation.
Improper drain piping may result in indoor water leakage and property damage.
• Install the indoor and outdoor units, power cord and connecting wires at least 1 meter away from televisions or radios to prevent
picture interference and noise.
(Depending on the incoming signal strength, a distance of 1 meter may not be sufficient to eliminate noise.)
• Remote controller (wireless kit) transmitting distance can be shorter than expected in rooms with electronic fluorescent lamps
(inverter or rapid start types). Install the indoor unit as far away from fluorescent lamps as possible.
• In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
• Make sure to provide for adequate measures in order to prevent that the outdoor unit be used as a shelter by small animals.
Small animals making contact with electrical parts can cause malfunctions, smoke or fire. Please instruct the customer to keep
the area around the unit clean.
• Install in a machine room that is free of moisture. The unit is designed for indoor use.
• Disposal requirements
Dismantling of the unit, treatment of the refrigerant, of oil and of other parts must be done in accordance with relevant local and
national legislation.
• The refrigerant R32 requires that strict precautions be observed for keeping the system clean, dry and tightly sealed.
A. Clean and dry
Strict measures must be taken to keep impurities (including SUNISO oil and other mineral oils as well as moisture) out of the system.
B. Tightly sealed
R32 contains no chlorine, does not destroy the ozone layer and so does not reduce the earth's protection against harmful
ultraviolet radiation. R32 will contribute only slightly to the greenhouse effect if released into the atmosphere.
• Do not install the air conditioner in the following locations:
1. Where there is a high concentration of mineral oil spray or vapour (e.g. a kitchen).
Plastic parts will deteriorate, parts may fall off and water leakage could result.
2. Where corrosive gas, such as sulphurous acid gas, is produced.
Corroding of copper pipes or soldered parts may result in refrigerant leakage.
3. Near machinery emitting electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation may disturb the operation of the control system and result in a malfunction of the unit.
4. Where flammable gas may leak, where there is carbon fibre or ignitable dust suspensions in the air, or where volatile
flammables such as paint thinner or gasoline are handled.
Operating the unit in such conditions may result in fire.
• The air conditioner is not intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Only qualified personnel can handel, fill, purge and dispose of the refrigerant.
