Water leakage, fault, short circuit or fire may occur if you reconstruct the unit by
yourself.
•Please ask your sales agent or qualified technician for the installation of your unit.
Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you install the unit by yourself.
•Please use earth line.
Do not place the earth line near water or gas pipes, lightning-conductor, or the
earth line of telephone. Improper installation of earth line may cause electric
shock or fire.
•Be sure to use the specified piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in
broken copper pipes or faults.
•A circuit breaker should be installed depending on the mounting site of the unit.
Without a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.
•Donotinstalltheunitnearalocationwherethereisflammablegas.Theoutdoorunit
may catch fire if flammable gas leaks around it. Piping shall be suitable supported
with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.
•Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.

breaker during cleaning, the high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.
•Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not be operated for a long period.
•Do not climb on the outdoor unit or put objects on it.
•When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is
always above 80%) and with the air deflector facing down or moving automatically
for a long period of time, water will condense on the air deflector and drips down
occasionally. This will wet your furniture. Therefore, do not operate under such
condition for a long time.
