Safety Cautions SiUS092231E Warning Be sure to discharge the capacitor completely before conducting repair work. The step-up capacitor supplies high-voltage electricity to the electrical components of the outdoor unit. A charged capacitor may cause an electrical shock. Do not turn the air conditioner on or off by plugging in or unplugging the power cable.
SiUS092231E Safety Cautions Caution Be sure to check that the refrigerating cycle section has cooled down enough before conducting repair work. Working on the unit when the refrigerating cycle section is hot may cause burns. Conduct welding work in a well-ventilated place. Using the welder in an enclosed room may cause oxygen deficiency.

Safety Cautions SiUS092231E Warning Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant (R-32 / R-410A / R-22) in the refrigerant system. If air enters the refrigerant system, an excessively high pressure results, causing equipment damage and injury. If the refrigerant gas leaks, be sure to locate the leaking point and repair it before charging the refrigerant.
