Toshiba RAS-M10PKVP-E Service Manual page 4

• DO NOT INSTALL NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS OR GAS VAPORS. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
• TO PREVENT THE INDOOR UNIT FROM OVERHEATING AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD, PLACE
THE UNIT WELL AWAY (MORE THAN 2 M) FROM HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEAT
RESISTORS, FURNACE, STOVES, ETC.
• WHEN MOVING THE AIR-CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLATION IN ANOTHER PLACE, BE VERY
CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW THE SPECIFIED REFRIGERANT (R410A) TO BECOME MIXED WITH
ANY OTHER GASEOUS BODY INTO THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT. IF AIR OR ANY OTHER GAS
IS MIXED IN THE REFRIGERANT, THE GAS PRESSURE IN THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT WILL
BECOME ABNORMALLY HIGH AND IT MAY RESULT IN THE PIPE BURSTING AND POSSIBLE
PERSONNEL INJURIES.
• IN THE EVENT THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PIPE DURING THE SERVICE
WORK AND THE INSTALLATION WORK, IMMEDIATELY LET FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM. IF THE
REFRIGERANT GAS IS HEATED, SUCH AS BY FIRE, GENERATION OF POISONOUS GAS MAY RESULT.
• Do not use any refrigerant different from the one specifi ed for complement or replacement.
Otherwise, abnormally high pressure may be generated in the refrigeration cycle, which may result in a
failure or explosion of the product or an injury to your body.
• Never modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or bypass any of the safety
interlock switches.
• Do not install in a place which cannot bear the weight of the unit. Personal injury and property
damage can result if the unit falls.
• After the installation work, confi rm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and fl ows near a fi re source such as a cooking range, noxious gas
may generate.
• The electrical work must be performed by a qualifi ed electrician in accordance with the
Installation Manual. Make sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive circuit.
An insuffi cient circuit capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fi re.
• When wiring, use the specifi ed cables and connect the terminals securely to prevent external
forces applied to the cable from affecting the terminals.
• Be sure to provide grounding.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires for telephone cables.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause electric shock.
• Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation may result in an electrical short.
Do not store in a wet basement or expose to rain or water.
• Do not install in a place that can increase the vibration of the unit. Do not install in a place that can amplify
the noise level of the unit or where noise or discharged air might disturb neighbors.
• To avoid personal injury, be careful when handling parts with sharp edges.
• Perform the specifi ed installation work to guard against an earthquake.
If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the falling unit.
For Reference:
If a heating operation would be continuously performed for a long time under the condition that the outdoor
temperature is 0°C or lower, drainage of defrosted water may be diffi cult due to freezing of the bottom plate,
resulting in a trouble of the cabinet or fan.
It is recommended to procure an antifreeze heater locally for a safe installation of the air conditioner.
For details, contact the dealer.
