Selection of installation location
• If you install the unit in a small room, take appropriate measures to prevent the refrigerant from exceeding the limit
concentration even if it leaks. Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the air conditioner when you implement
the measures. Accumulation of highly concentrated refrigerant may cause an oxygen deficiency accident.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to a risk of expire to a combustible gas. If a
combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
• When transporting the air conditioner, wear shoes with additional protective toe caps.
• When transporting the air conditioner, do not take hold of the bands around the packing carton. You may injure
yourself if the bands should break.
• Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to the wind of air conditioner,
otherwise it may cause imperfect combustion.
Installation
• Install the air conditioner at enough strong places to withstand the weight of the unit. If the strength is not enough,
the unit may fall down resulting in injury.
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Manual to install the air conditioner. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause the product to fall down or topple over or give rise to noise, vibration, water leakage, etc.
• The designated bolts (M10) and nuts (M10) for securing the outdoor unit must be used when installing the unit.
• Install the outdoor unit property in a location that is durable enough to support the weight of the outdoor unit.
Insufficient durability may cause the outdoor unit to fall, which may result in injury.
• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately. If the leaked refrigerant
gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may be generated.
Refrigerant piping
• Install the refrigerant pipe securely during the installation work before operating the air conditioner. If the
compressor is operated with the valve open and without refrigerant pipe, the compressor sucks air and the
refrigeration cycles is over pressurized, which may cause a injury.
• Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench in the specified manner. Excessive tighten of the flare nut may cause a
crack in the flare nut after a long period, which may result in refrigerant leakage.
• When the air conditioner has been installed or relocated, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and purge
the air completely so that no gases other than the refrigerant will be mixed in the refrigerating cycle. Failure to purge
the air completely may cause the air conditioner to malfunction.
• Nitrogen gas must be used for the airtight test.
• The charge hose must be connected in such a way that it is not slack.
Electrical wiring
• Only a qualified installer(*1) or qualified service person(*1) is allowed to carry out the electrical work of the air
conditioner. Under no circumstances must this work be done by an unqualified individual since failure to carry out
the work properly may result in electric shocks and/or electrical leaks.
• The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. Capacity shortages of the power
circuit or an incomplete installation may cause an electric shock or fire.
• Use wiring that meets the specifications in the Installation Manual and the stipulations in the local regulations and
laws. Use of wiring which does not meet the specifications may give rise to electric shocks, electrical leakage,
smoking and/or a fire.
• Be sure to connect earth wire. (Grounding work)
Incomplete grounding causes an electric shock.
• Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, and lightning rods or ground wires for telephone wires.
• After completing the repair or relocation work, check that the ground wires are connected properly.
• Install a circuit breaker that meets the specifications in the installation manual and the stipulations in the local
regulations and laws.
• Install the circuit breaker where it can be easily accessed by the agent.
• When installing the circuit breaker outdoors, install one which is designed to be used outdoors.
• Under no circumstances must the power cable be extended. Connection trouble in the places where the cable is
extended may give rise to smoking and/or a fire.
Test run
• Before operating the air conditioner after having completed the work, check that the electrical parts box cover of the
indoor unit and service panel of the outdoor unit are closed, and set the circuit breaker to the ON position. You may
receive an electric shock etc. if the power is turned on without first conducting these checks.
• When you have noticed that some kind of trouble (such as when an error display has appeared, there is a smell of
burning, abnormal sounds are heard, the air conditioner fails to cool or heat or water is leaking) has occurred in the
air conditioner, do not touch the air conditioner yourself but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact
a qualified service person. Take steps to ensure that the power will not be turned on (by marking “out of service”
near the circuit breaker, for instance) until qualified service person arrives. Continuing to use the air conditioner in
the trouble status may cause mechanical problems to escalate or result in electric shocks, etc.
• After the work has finished, be sure to use an insulation tester set (500V Megger) to check the resistance is 1 MΩor
more between the charge section and the non-charge metal section (Earth section). If the resistance value is low, a
disaster such as a leak or electric shock is caused at user’s side.
• Upon completion of the installation work, check for refrigerant leaks and check the insulation resistance and water
drainage. Then conduct a test run to check that the air conditioner is operating properly.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerantgas does not leak. If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows
near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas may be generated.
