SAFETY PRECAUTION 1. SAFETY PRECAUTION MEANINGS OF SYMBOLS DISPLAYED ON THE UNIT Refrigerant This unit uses flammable refrigerant. Safety Group WARNING If refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with fire or heating part, it will create (Risk of fire) harmful gas and there is risk of fire. Read the OPERATION MANUAL carefully before operation.
Page 4
SAFETY PRECAUTION <1> Warning for service (1) Do not alter the unit. (2) For installation and relocation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use tools and pipe components specifically made for use with refrigerant specified in the outdoor unit installation manual. (3) Ask a dealer or an authorized technician to install, relocate and repair the unit.

SAFETY PRECAUTION or fans. (5) Detection of flammable refrigerants Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems.
Page 7
SAFETY PRECAUTION are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT. (10) Recovery When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available.
