[1] General Precautions
Indicates a risk of death or serious injury.
Indicates a risk of serious injury or structural damage.
General Precautions
Do not use refrigerant other than the type in-
dicated in the manuals provided with the
unit and on the nameplate. Doing so may
cause the unit or pipes to burst, or result in
explosion or fire during use, during repair,
or at the time of disposal of the unit. It may
also be in violation of applicable laws. MIT-
SUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION cannot
be held responsible for malfunctions or ac-
cidents resulting from the use of the wrong
type of refrigerant.
Do not install the unit in a place where large
amounts of oil, steam, organic solvents, or
corrosive gases, such as sulfuric gas, are
present or where acidic/alkaline solutions
or sprays containing sulfur are used fre-
quently. These substances can compro-
mise the performance of the unit or cause
certain components of the unit to corrode,
which can result in refrigerant leakage, wa-
ter leakage, injury, electric shock, malfunc-
tions, smoke, or fire.
Donottrytodefeatthesafetyfeaturesofthe
unit or make unauthorized setting changes.
Forcing the unit to operate the unit by de-
feating the safety features of the devices
such as the pressure switch or the tempera-
ture switch, making unauthorized changes
to the switch settings, or using accessories
other than the ones recommended by Mit-
subishi Electric may result in smoke, fire, or
explosion.
To reduce the risk of shorting, current leak-
age,electricshock,malfunctions,smoke,or
fire, do not splash water on electric parts.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, mal-
functions, smoke or fire, do not operate the
switches/buttons or touch other electrical
parts with wet hands.
To reduce the risk of pipe burst and explo-
sion, do not allow gas refrigerant and refrig-
erant oil to be trapped in the refrigerant
circuit.
To reduce the risk of burns or frost bites, do
nottouch therefrigerant pipes or refrigerant
circuit components with bare hands during
and immediately after operation.
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch
any electrical parts with bare hands during
or immediately after stopping operation.
To reduce the risk of injury from falling
tools, keep children away while installing,
inspecting, or repairing the unit.
Keep the space well ventilated. Refrigerant
can displace air and cause oxygen starva-
tion. If leaked refrigerant comes in contact
with a heat source, toxic gas may be gener-
ated.

protective gear when working on units.
Do not release refrigerant into the atmo-
sphere. Collect and reuse the refrigerant, or
have it properly disposed of by an autho-
rized agency. Refrigerant poses environ-
mental hazards if released into the air.
Transportation and Installation
Lift the unit by placing the slings at desig-
nated locations. Support the outdoor unit
securely at four points to keep it from slip-
ping and sliding. If the unit is not properly

to the instructions detailed in the Installa-
tion Manual. Improper drainage work may
cause water leakage and resultant damage
to the furnishings.
Remove packing materials from the unit be-
fore operating the unit. Note that some ac-
cessories may be taped to the unit. Properly
install all accessories that are required. Fail-
ing to remove the packing materials or fail-
ing to install required accessories may
result in refrigerant leakage, oxygen depri-
vation, smoke, or fire.
Consult your dealer and take appropriate
measures to safeguard against refrigerant
leakageandresultantoxygenstarvation.An
installation of a refrigerant gas detector is

[4] Piping Work
[5] Wiring Work
To reduce the risk of drain water overflow,
install the unit horizontally, using a level.
Piping Work
To reduce the risk of injury, including frost
bites, that may result from being blasted
with refrigerant, use caution when operat-
ing the refrigerant service valve. If refriger-
ant leaks out and comes in contact with an
open flame, toxic gases may be generated.
To reduce the risk of refrigerant catching
fire and causing burns, remove the refriger-
ant gas and the residual refrigerant oil in the
pipes before heating them.
To reduce the risk of pipe damage, refriger-
ant leakage, and oxygen deprivation, use
pipes that meet the pipe thickness specifi-
cations, which vary by the type of refriger-
ant used, pipe diameter, and pipe material.
To reduce the risk of pipe burst or explo-
sion, evacuate the refrigerant circuit using a
vacuum pump, and do not purge the system
with refrigerant.
To reduce the risk of explosion and deterio-
ration of refrigerant oil caused by chloride,
do not use oxygen, flammable gas, or refrig-
erant that contains chloride as a pressuriz-
ing gas.
To prevent explosion, do not heat the unit
with refrigerant gas in the refrigerant circuit.
Toreduce the risk of refrigerantleakage and
resultant oxygen deprivation, use the flare
nut with holes that is supplied with the re-
frigerant service valve.
Toreduce the risk of refrigerantleakage and
resultant oxygen deprivation, use the flare
nut that is supplied with the unit or its equiv-
alent that meets applicable standards.
To reduce the risk of damage to the unit,
and resultant refrigerant leakage and oxy-
gen deprivation, tighten flare nuts to a spec-
ified torque.
To reduce the risk of oxygen deprivation
and gas poisoning, check for gas leakage
and keep fire sources away.
Insulate pipe connections after completing
the air tightness test. Performing an air
tightness test with the pipe being insulated
may lead to failure to detect refrigerant leak-
age and cause oxygen deprivation.
To reduce the risk of pipe damage and re-
sultant refrigerant leakage and oxygen de-
privation, keep the field-installed pipes out
of contact with the edges of components.
To reduce the risk of pipe bursting and ex-
plosion due to abnormal pressure rise, do
not allow any substances other than R410A
(such as air) to enter the refrigerant circuit.
To reduce the risk of water leakage and re-
sultant damage to the furnishings, drain
piping work must be performed by your
dealer or qualified personnel according to
the instructions detailed in the Installation
Manual.
To keep the ceiling and floor from getting
wet due to condensation, properly insulate
the pipes.
Wiring Work
To reduce the risk of wire breakage, over-
heating, smoke, and fire, keep undue force
from being applied to the wires.
To reduce the risk of wire breakage, over-
heating, smoke, or fire, properly secure the
cables in place and provide adequate slack
in the cables so as not to stress the termi-
nals.
