Safety precautions
DANGER! Avoid Serious Injury
This appliance must be installed by a qualified licensed HVAC
technician in accordance with all applicable codes. All electrical
connections should be performed by a licensed electrician.
or Death
1. Do not attempt to install the split air
conditioner by yourself.
2. This air conditioner contains no
user-serviceable parts. Always call
an authorized Electrolux servicer for
repairs.
3. When moving the air conditioner,
always call an authorized Electrolux
servicer for disconnection and
re-installation.
4. Do not insert or place fingers or
objects into the air discharge area in
the front of the indoor unit.
5. Do not insert or place fingers or

9. In the event of a malfunction (sparks,
burning smell, etc.) immediately stop
the operation, disconnect the power
cord, and call an authorized Electrolux
servicer.
10.Do not operate the air conditioners
with wet hands
11.Do not pull on the power cord.
12.Do not drink any water that is drained
from the air conditioners.
1. Provide occasional ventilation
during use. Do not direct airflow at
fireplaces or other heat related
sources as this could cause flare ups
or make units run excessively.
2. Do not climb on or place objects on
the outdoor unit.
3. Do not hang objects off the indoor
unit.
4. Do not place containers containing
water on the indoor and/or outdoor
units.
5. Turn off the air conditioner at the
power source when it will not be
used for an extended period of time.
6. Periodically check the condition of
the outdoor unit’s installation base
for any damage.
7. Do not apply heavy pressure to the
radiator fins of the indoor and/or
outdoor units.
8. Operate the indoor unit with air
filters in place.
9. Do not block or cover the intake
grille, discharge area and outlet
ports.
10.Ensure that any electrical/electronic
equipment is one yard away from
the indoor unit and outdoor unit.
11.Do not use or store flammable
gases near the indoor and/or
outdoor units.
CAUTION! Avoid Injury or
damage to the unit or other
property

To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the
following instructions must be followed.
Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instructions may cause harm or

Flaring work
Main cause for refrigerant leakage is
due to defect in the flaring work.
Carry out correct flaring work using the
following procedure:
1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
A) Use the piping kit accessory or
pipes purchased locally.
B) Measure the distance between the
indoor and the outdoor unit.
C) Cut the pipes a little longer than the
measured distance.
D) Cut the cable 4.9ft longer than the
pipe length.
2. Burr removal

Connecting (Power and Control Cable)
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied connecting cable from the outdoor unit to indoor unit consists of four
wires and provides the power for the indoor unit as well as the communication signal and ground between the outdoor and indoor unit.
Two wires are high voltage AC power, one is low voltage DC signal and one is a ground wire.
Consult local building codes, NEC (National Electrical Code) or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) for special requirements.
Power voltage should meet the
