Install the air conditioner according to this Installation Manual.
- If the unit is installed improperly, water leakage, electric shock, or
fire may result.
Have all electric work done by a licensed electrician according
to "Electric Facility Engineering Standard" and "Interior Wire
Regulations" and the instructions given in this manual and
always use a special circuit.
- If the power source capacity is inadequate or electric work is per-
formed improperly, electric shock and fire may result.
Keep the electric parts away from water (washing water etc.).
- It might result in electric shock, catching fire or smoke.
Securely install the cover of control box and the panel.
- If the cover and panel are not installed properly, dust or water
may enter the outdoor unit and fire or electric shock may result.
When installing and moving the air conditioner to another
site, do not charge the it with a refrigerant different from the
refrigerant specified on the unit.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant,
the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be
damaged.
If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures
must be taken to prevent the refrigerant concentration from
exceeding the safety limit even if the refrigerant should leak.
- Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate measures to prevent
the safety limit from being exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak
and cause the safety limit to be exceeded, hazards due to lack of
oxygen in the room could result.
When moving and reinstalling the air conditioner, consult the
dealer or an authorized technician.
- If the air conditioner is installed improperly, water leakage, elec-
tric shock, or fire may result.
After completing installation work, make sure that refrigerant
gas is not leaking.
- If the refrigerant gas leaks and is exposed to a fan heater, stove,
oven, or other heat source, it may generate noxious gases.
Do not reconstruct or change the settings of the protection
devices.
- If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is
shorted and operated forcibly, or parts other than those specified
by Mitsubishi Electric are used, fire or explosion may result.
