2.1 For the installer
2.1.1 General
If you are NOT sure how to install or operate the unit, contact your dealer.
WARNING
Improper installation or attachment of equipment or accessories could result in
electrical shock, short-circuit, leaks, fire or other damage to the equipment. ONLY
use accessories, optional equipment and spare parts made or approved by Daikin.
WARNING
Make sure installation, testing and applied materials comply with applicable
legislation (on top of the instructions described in the Daikin documentation).
CAUTION
Wear adequate personal protective equipment (protective gloves, safety glasses,…)
when installing, maintaining or servicing the system.
WARNING
Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that nobody, especially
children, can play with them. Possible risk: suffocation.
DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
▪Do NOT touch the refrigerant piping, water piping or internal parts during and
immediately after operation. It could be too hot or too cold. Give it time to return
to normal temperature. If you MUST touch it, wear protective gloves.
▪Do NOT touch any accidental leaking refrigerant.
WARNING
Provide adequate measures to prevent that the unit can be used as a shelter by small
animals. Small animals that make contact with electrical parts can cause
malfunctions, smoke or fire.
CAUTION
▪Do NOT place any objects or equipment on top of the unit.
▪Do NOT sit, climb or stand on the unit.
