Use the specified refrigerant only Never use any refrigerant other than that specified. Doing so may cause a burst, an explosion, or fire when the unit is being used, serviced, or disposed of. Correct refrigerant is specified in the manuals and on the spec labels provided with our products. We will not be held responsible for mechanical failure, system malfunction, unit breakdown or accidents caused by failure to follow the instructions.
TECHNICAL CHANGES These models are compatible with the outdoor units with low standby power control. Connecting these models to the MUZ-AY·VG series outdoor units enables the low standby power control. These models may be connected to the MUZ-AY·VG series after once connected to the MXZ series and operated, for example because of relocation.
