points and a possible fire hazard.
When Wiring
• Provide a power outlet to be used
exclusively for each unit.
• Provide a power outlet exclusively for
each unit, and full disconnection means
having a contact separation in all poles
must be incorporated in the fixed wiring
in accordance with the wiring rules.
• To prevent possible hazards from
insulation failure, the unit must be
grounded.
• 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
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 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 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
WARNING
...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.

Keep the fire alarm and
the air outlet at least
1.5 m away from the unit.
