SAFETY PRECAUTION
G Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.
G The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.
WARNING ........ Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.
!
! CAUTION ......... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.
Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper way of operating
the unit as described in the user's guide.
!
G
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.
G
Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may
cause water leakage, electric shock and fire.
G 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.
G 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.
G
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.
G
Please use the specified components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock
and fire may occur.
G Be sure to use the specified piping set for R22. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
G
When installing or removing an air conditioner, 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.
G 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.
G 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.
G
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.
!
G
A circuit breaker or fuse must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric shock exists.
A main switch with a contact gap of more than 3mm has to be installed in the power supply line to the outdoor unit.
G
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.
G
Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.
G
Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.
