Adoption of R454B Refrigerant This Air Conditioner is a new type which adopts a new refrigerant HFC (R454B) instead of the conventional in order to prevent destruction of the ozone layer. WARNING Cleaning of the air filter and other parts of the air filter involves dangerous work in high places, so be sure to have a service person do it.
SAFETY CAUTION Please read carefully through these instructions that contain important information and ensure that you understand them. Generic Denomination: Air Conditioner Definition of Qualified Installer or Qualified Service Person The air conditioner must be installed, maintained, repaired and removed by a qualified installer or qualified service person.

The refrigerant used by this air conditioner is the R454B. Check the used refrigerant name and use tools and materials of the parts which match with it. For the products which use R454B refrigerant, the refrigerant name is indicated at a position on the outdoor unit where is easy to see.
Page 10
Once the repair work has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks, and check the insulation resistance and water drainage. Then perform a trial run to check that the air conditioner is running properly. After repair work has finished, check there is no trouble. If check is not executed, a fire, electric shock or injury may be caused.
Refrigerant (R454B) This air conditioner adopts HFC type refrigerant (R454B) which does not deplete the ozone layer. 1. Safety Caution Concerned to Refrigerant The pressure of R454B is higher than of that of the former refrigerant (R22), (R410A). Accompanied with change of refrigerant, the refrigerating oil has been also changed. Therefore, be sure that water, dust, the former refrigerant or the former refrigerating oil is not mixed into the refrigerating cycle of the air conditioner with refrigerant during installation work or service work.
Page 12
4. Tools 1. Required Tools for R454B Mixing of different types of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge, clogging of capillary, etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types. 1) Tools exclusive for R454B (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22), (R410A) 2) Tools exclusive for R454B, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R22), (R410A) 3) Tools commonly used for R454B and for conventional refrigerant (R22), (R410A) The table below shows the tools exclusive for R454B and their interchangeability.
