than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• When performing piping work do not
mix air except for specified refrigerant
(R410A) in refrigeration cycle. It
causes capacity down, and risk of
explosion and injury due to high
tension inside the refrigerant cycle.
WARNING
• Refrigerant gas leakage may cause
fire.
• Do not add or replace refrigerant
other than specified type. It may
cause product damage, burst and
injury, etc.
• Ventilate the room well, in the event that is refrigerant
gas leaks during the installation. Be careful not to allow
contact of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this will
cause the generation of poisonous gas.
• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces
of the flare and union tubes before connecting them,
then tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free
connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
• Do not leak refrigerant while piping work for an
installation or re-installation, and while repairing
refrigeration parts.
Handle liquid refrigerant carefully as it may cause
frostbite.
When Servicing
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box
(mains), wait at least 10 minutes until it is
discharged, then open the unit to check or repair
electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to
check that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been
left inside the unit being serviced.

CAUTION
outdoor unit. You may get injured.
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when
installing or testing the refrigeration
system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on
contact with fire or heat, can produce
dangerously toxic gas.
• Confirm after installation that no
refrigerant gas is leaking. If the gas
comes in contact with a burning stove,
gas water heater, electric room heater
or other heat source, it can cause the
generation of poisonous gas.
