of the earth leakage protector.
CAUTION
▪When connecting the power supply: connect the earth cable first, before making
the current-carrying connections.
▪When disconnecting the power supply: disconnect the current-carrying cables
first, before separating the earth connection.
▪The length of the conductors between the power supply stress relief and the
terminal block itself must be as such that the current-carrying wires are tautened
before the earth wire is in case the power supply is pulled loose from the stress
relief.
NOTICE
Precautions when laying power wiring:
▪Do NOT connect wiring of different thicknesses to the power terminal block (slack
in the power wiring may cause abnormal heat).
▪When connecting wiring which is the same thickness, do as shown in the figure
above.
▪For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect firmly, then secure to
prevent outside pressure being exerted on the terminal board.
▪Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terminal screws. A screwdriver
with a small head will damage the head and make proper tightening impossible.
▪Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.
Install power cables at least 1 m away from televisions or radios to prevent
interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 m may not be
sufficient.

4.2 Instructions for safe operation
WARNING
▪Do NOT modify, disassemble, remove, reinstall or repair
the unit yourself as incorrect dismantling or installation
may cause an electric shock or fire. Contact your dealer.
▪In case of accidental refrigerant leaks, make sure there
are no naked flames. The refrigerant itself is entirely
safe, non-toxic and mildly flammable, but it will
generate toxic gas when it accidentally leaks into a room
where combustible air from fan heaters, gas cookers,
etc. is present. Always have qualified service personnel
confirm that the point of leakage has been repaired or
corrected before resuming operation.
CAUTION
This unit is equipped with electrically powered safety
measures, such as a refrigerant leak detector. In order to
be effective, the unit must be electrically powered at all
times after installation, except for short service periods.
