or standards.
● Signal words (DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION) are used to identify levels of hazard seriousness.
Definitions for identifying hazard levels are provided below with their respective signal words.
● Installation should be performed by the dealer or other professional personnel. Improper installation
may cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
● Do not perform installation work, refrigerant piping work, drain piping and electrical wiring connection
without referring to our installation manual. If the instructions are not followed, it may result in water
leakage, electric shock or fire.
● Use refrigerant R410A in the refrigerant cycle.

extinguish any naked flames and contact your service contractor, if refrigerant leakage occurs.
● Do perform air-tight test. Do not charge oxygen, acetylene or other flammable and poisonous gas into
the refrigerant cycle when performing a leakage test or an air-tight test. These types of gas are
extremely dangerous and can cause an explosion. It is recommended that nitrogen be used for this
test.
