Panasonic S-36PT2E5B Installation Instructions Manual page 3

• Check that cabling will not be subject
to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other
adverse environmental effects.
The check shall also take into account
the effects of aging or continual
vibration from sources such as
compressors or fans.
• This equipment is strongly
recommended to be installed with
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB)
or Residual Current Device (RCD).
Otherwise, it may cause electrical
shock and fire in case of equipment
breakdown or insulation breakdown.
When Transporting
• It may need two or more people to carry
out the installation work.
• Be careful when picking up and moving
the indoor and outdoor units. Get a
partner to help, and bend your knees
when lifting to reduce strain on your
back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum
fins on the air conditioner can cut your
fingers.
When storing...
WARNING
• The appliance shall be stored
in a well-ventilated area where
the room size corresponds to
the room area as specified for
operation.
• The appliance shall be stored
in a room without continuously
operating open flames (for
example: an operating gas
appliance) and ignition sources
(for example: an operating
electric heater).
• The appliance shall be stored so as
to prevent mechanical damage from
occurring.
When Installing...
• Select an installation location which is
rigid and strong enough to support or
hold the unit, and select a location for
easy maintenance.
• In cases that require mechanical
ventilation, ventilation openings shall be
kept clear of obstruction.
• An unventilated area where the
appliance using flammable refrigerants
is installed shall be so constructed
that should any refrigerant leak, it will
not stagnate so as to create a fire or
explosion hazard.
...In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside
a room to prevent "sweating" that can
cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.
CAUTION
...In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete
blocks to provide a solid, level foundation
for the outdoor unit. This prevents water
damage and abnormal vibration.
...In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down
with bolts and a metal frame. Provide a
suitable air baffle.
...In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-
type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised
platform that is higher than drifting snow.
Provide snow vents.
...At least 2.5 m
Indoor unit of this air conditioner shall be
installed in a height of at least 2.5 m.
...In laundry rooms

When Connecting Refrigerant
Tubing
