SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Precautions When Wiring:
• Do not plug in the unit until all connections (tubing, drain hose,
mounting, etc.) have been made and double-checked.
• High voltages are present in this unit and are very dangerous.
Please refer to these instructions and diagrams when wiring.
Improper connections or inadequate grounding can cause acciden-
tal injury.
• This unit must be grounded in accordance with local electrical
codes.
• Connect wires and pipes securely and tightly as loose connec-
tions/wiring may cause overheating at connections and a possible
fire hazard.
Precautions When Transporting:
• When transporting the unit, be very careful and get help because
the units are heavy. Be careful of sharp edges on the units also.
Precautions When Installing:
• When installing in a ceiling or wall, make sure the ceiling/wall is
strong enough to hold the unit's weight. A frame may be necessary
for added support.
• When installing in a room, make sure the tubes become well
insulated to protect the walls and furniture from sweating of the
tubes.
• When installing in moist or uneven locations, make sure to use
a raised level concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a level,
solid foundation for the outdoor unit; this prevents water damage
and vibration.
• When installing in an area of high winds, make sure to securely
anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal frame.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing:
• Keep all tubing as short as possible.
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and
union tubes before connecting them, then tighten , making sure not
to overtighten.
• Check the tubes carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing:
• Make sure the power is off and the unit is unplugged before open-
ing the unit to troubleshoot or repair electrical parts and wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
• Clean up the sight after you finish, making sure no metal scraps
and wiring are left in the unit.
• The Air conditioner shall be installed in accordance with the national
wiring regulation.
• The equipment fulfills the requirements in EN 61 000-3-11 and is
subject to conditional connection to the mains.
• It may be connected in consultation with the supply authority.
• The equipment may only be connected to a mains supply with a
system impedance of less than 0.3 ohm.
• The system impedance in the interface point may be obtained
from the supply authority.
• If the mains supply has a higher system impedance, short voltage
dips may appear when the equipment is started or during operation.
• This may influence or disturb the operation of other apparatuses,
e.g. flickering lamps, especially those connected to the same supply
mains.
