Electric connection work should obey the instructions of local power
company, local electric utility and this manual.
Never use the wiring and fuse with wrong rated current, otherwise
the unit maybe break down and cause fire further more.
Do not insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet or outlet.
When the fan is rotating at high speed, it will cause injury.
Never use a flammable spray such as hair spray, lacquer paint near
the unit. It may cause a fire.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of expe-
rience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children
will not play with them. Children playing with plastic bags face dan-
ger of death by suocation.
Safely dispose of packing materials such as nails and other metal or
wood parts that could cause injuries.
Ask your dealer or qualified personnel to perform installation work in
accordance with this manual. Do not install the unit yourself. Improp-
er installation could result in water leakage, electric shocks or fire.
Be sure to use only specified accessories and parts for installation
work. Failure to use specified parts may result in water leakage,
electric shocks, fire, or the unit falling from its mount.
Install the unit on a foundation that can withstand its weight.
Insucient physical strength may cause the equipment to fall and
possible injury.
Perform specified installation work with full consideration of strong
wind, hurricanes, or earthquakes. Improper installation work may
result in accidents due to equipment falling.
Make certain that all electrical work is carried out by qualified
personnel according to the local laws and regulations and this
manual using a separate circuit. Insucient capacity of the power
supply circuit or improper electrical construction may lead to electric
shocks or fire.
Be sure to install a ground fault circuit interrupter according to
local laws and regulations. Failure to install a ground fault circuit
interrupter may cause electric shocks and fire.
Make sure all wiring is secure. Use the specified wires and ensure
that terminal connections or wires are protected from water and
other adverse external forces. Incomplete connection or axing
may cause a fire.
When wiring the power supply, form the wires so that the front panel
can be securely fastened. If the front panel is not in place there
could be overheating of the terminals, electric shocks or fire.
After completing the installation work, check to make sure that there
is no refrigerant leakage.
Never directly touch any leaking refrigerant as it could cause severe
frostbite. Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately
after operation as the refrigerant pipes may be hot or cold, depend-
ing on the condition of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant
piping, compressor and other refrigerant cycle parts. Burns or frost-
bite are possible if you touch the refrigerant pipes. To avoid injury,
give the pipes time to return to normal temperature or, if you must
touch them,be sure to wear protective gloves.
Do not touch the internal parts (pump, backup heater, etc.) during
and immediately after operation. Touching the internal parts can
cause burns. To avoid injury, give the internal parts time to return
to normal temperature or, if you must touch them, be sure to wear
protective gloves.
Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equip-
ment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance
of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision
of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
⚠ DANGER
If the hot water system is not used for two weeks or more, a quantity
of highly flammable hydrogen gas may accumulate in the water
heater. To dissipate this gas safely, it is recommended that a hot tap
be turned on for several minutes. Before touching electric terminal
parts, turn o power switch.
Do not touch the inner parts of the controller. Do not remove the
front panel. Some parts inside are dangerous to touch, otherwise a
machine malfunction may be caused.
When front panels are removed, live parts can be easily touched by
accident.
Never leave the unit unattended during installation or servicing when
the front panel is removed.
Do not touch water pipes during and immediately after operation
as the pipes may be hot and could burn your hands. To avoid injury,
give the piping time to return to normal temperature or be sure to
wear protective gloves.
Do not touch any switch with wet fingers. Touching a switch with wet
fingers can cause electrical shock.
Before touching electrical parts, turn o all applicable power to the
unit.
⚠ WARNING
A creepage breaker must be installed adjacent to the power supply.
Do not remove, cover or deface any permanent instructions, labels,
or the data labels from either the outside of the unit or inside of unit
panels.
Required qualified person for relocating, repairing and maintaining
the unit instead of doing by yourself.
