CAUTION
• When removing flare nut of the indoor unit, first remove the nut of small diameter side.
Otherwise the nut of big diameter side will fly out.
• Prevent water from entering into the piping when connecting.
• Be sure to tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
If the flare nut is overtightened, it may split after sometime and may cause refrigerant leak.
• When using a control valve, make sure that the packing is not deteriorated and avoid excessive tightening
of the handle. Otherwise, gas may leak from the service valve.

2. Affixing the Remote Controller and Installing the Anti-mold Wasabi Cassette
• The remote controller may be affixed to a wall or pillar with the remote controller mounting screw.
• When operating the air conditioning with the remote controller attached, please make sure that the signal is received by
the air conditioning. Furthermore,
fluorescent lighting may affect the reception of the signal, therefore, please make sure
by turning on the fluorescent lighting even during the day.
• Lighting fixtures with electronic starters may shorten the reception distance and may even interfere with the signal being
received.
• Install the

WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord (Maker's service parts) available from the manufacturer
or its service agent.
The naked part of the wire core should be 10mm fix it to the terminal tightly. Then try to pull the individual wire to check if the
contact is tight. Improper insertion may burn the terminal.
Be sure to use only wire specified for the use of air-conditioner.
Be sure to use only power cables approved form the authorities in your country. For example in Germany: Cable type: NYM

About Address Selector Switch
This is utilized to avoid the interference of remote controller signals when two indoor units
are installed in the same room. The Address Selector Switch is on the outside of the remote
controller battery cover. (Factory setting is set to "A")
• Setting the address (to avoid interference)
Only one of the two indoor units has to be set (turn off the power to the other indoor unit).
Place a battery in the remote controller and press the reset switch. (Refer to page 11 of
the Operation Manual)
While pointing the remote controller transmitter/receiver at the indoor unit, move the
switch of the Address Selector Switch to "B".
The channel is set when the unit beeps, confirming it has received the signal.
• After changing the address, please confirm the unit's operation with the remote controller.
If the unit does not operate, return the switch to "A" and set the switch again.

Before turning on the power of the air conditioner, make sure that the filters (2 pieces at the top and 2 pieces in
front) have been installed properly and locked.
When the power of the air conditioner turns on, the "Filter Cleaning Operation" starts automatically.
The
clean indicator is lit during the filter cleaning operation.
Unlike the coventional type of air conditioner, this air conditioner has no
grille at its top surface, It is because this air conditioner is equipped with the
cleaning unit, and to prevent the top surface from getting dirty easily.
Do not touch the cleaning unit during
the filter cleaning operation.
