,6WARNING
• Flare nut must use a torque wrench without fail. lighten with the specified tightening torque. If the flare nut is
tightened too much, after a long period of time, the flare nut breaks, Gas leakage, stagnation, touching fire, rarely
cause ignition.
• Sharp bending of the pipe use the polyethylene rod, bend not crushed the pipe. Gas leakage from the crushed part,
stagnation, touching fire, rarely cause ignition.
• Please request your sales agent or qualified technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fire may
occur if you do the installation work yourself.
• Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation
may cause water leakage, electric shock and fire.
• A brazed, welded, or mechanical connection shall be made before opening the valves to permit refrigerant to flow
between the refrigerating system parts. A vacuum valve shall be provided to evacuate the interconnecting pipe and/
or any uncharged refrigerating system part.
• Mechanical connectors used indoors shall comply with ISO 14903. When mechanical connectors are reused indoors,
sealing parts shall be renewed. When flared joints are reused indoors, the flare part shall be re-fabricated.
• Refrigerant tubing shall be protected or enclosed to avoid damage.
• Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units.
If not, the units may collapse and impose danger.
• Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual
when dealing with the electrical work. Use power cables approved by the authorities of your country.
• Be sure to use the specified wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections
are tight after the conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may
cause over-heating and fire.
• Please use the specified components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage,
electric shock and fire may occur.
• Be sure to use the specified piping set for R32. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
• When installing or removing an air conditioner, only specified refrigerant (R32) shall be allowed, do not allow air or
moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally
high so that a rupture may be caused.
• Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire,
a poisonous gas may occur. Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant
gas leaks into the room, coming into contact with fire in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas
may occur.
• Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualified
air conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and fire, etc.
,6 CAUTION
• A circuit breaker or fuse must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric shock exists.
The external switch shall be incorporated to completely disconnect from power supply. It should disconnect all
poles, and a contact separation of at least 3mm must be present.
• Do not install the unit near a location where there is flammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch
fire if flammable gas leaks around it.
• Do not install the indoor unit in a machine shop or kitchen where vapor from oil or its mist flows to the indoor
unit. The oil will deposit on the heat exchanger, thereby reducing the indoor unit performance and may deform
and in the worst case, break the plastic parts of the indoor unit.
• Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.
• Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1 m between the supports.
,6 WARNING
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. Any unfit method or using incompatible material may cause product damage, burst and serious
injury.
• The appliance/pipe-work shall be stored in a well ventilated room with indoor floor area larger than A
to Table 1] and without any continuously operating ignition source. Keep away from open flames, any operating
gas appliances or any operating electric heater. Else, it may explode and cause injury or death.
• The appliance/pipe-work shall be installed, and/or operated in a room with floor area larger than A
Table 1] and keep away from ignition sources, such as heat/spark/open flame or hazardous areas such as gas
appliances, gas cooking, reticulated gas supply systems or electric cooking appliances, etc.
• Do not pierce or burn as the appliance/pipe-work is pressurized. Do not expose the appliance/pipe-work to heat,
flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Else, it may explode and cause injury or death.
<IA0000:@>
• Carefully read through the procedures of proper
installation before starting installation work.
• The sales agent should inform customers regarding
the correct operation of installation.
