Please request your sales agent or qualifi ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fi re 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 fi re.
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 specifi ed 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 fi re.
Please use the specifi ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock
●
and fi re may occur.
Be sure to use the specifi ed piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
●
When installing or removing an air conditioner, only specifi ed refrigerant (R410A) 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 that may
cause rupture to the refrigeration cycle.
Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fi re, a poisonous
●
gas may occur.
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 fi re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
Unauthorized modifi cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a qualifi ed air
●
conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and fi re, etc.
