MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION cannot be held
responsible for malfunctions or accidents resulting from the
use of the wrong type of refrigerant.
Ask your dealer or a qualified technician to install the
unit.
Improper installation by the user may result in water leak-
age, electric shock, smoke, and/or fire.
Properly install the unit on a surface that can with-
stand the weight of the unit.
Unit installed on an unstable surface may fall and cause in-
jury.
Only use specified cables. Securely connect each ca-
ble so that the terminals do not carry the weight of the
cable.
Improperly connected or fixed cables may produce heat
and start a fire.
Take appropriate safety measures against strong
winds and earthquakes to prevent the unit from falling.
If the unit is not installed properly, the unit may fall and
cause serious injury to the person or damage to the unit.
Do not make any modifications or alterations to the
unit. Consult your dealer for repair.
Improper repair may result in water leakage, electric shock,
smoke, and/or fire.
Do not touch the heat exchanger fins.
The fins are sharp and dangerous.
In the event of a refrigerant leak, thoroughly ventilate
the room.
If refrigerant gas leaks and comes in contact with an open
flame, poisonous gases will be produced.
When installing the All-Fresh type units, take it into
consideration that the outside air may be discharged
directly into the room when the thermo is turned off.
Direct exposure to outdoor air may have an adverse effect
on health. It may also result in food spoilage.
Properly install the unit according to the instructions
in the installation manual.
Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric
shock, smoke, and/or fire.
Have all electrical work performed by an authorized
electrician according to the local regulations and in-
structions in this manual, and a dedicated circuit must
be used.
Insufficient capacity of the power supply circuit or improper
installation may result in malfunctions of the unit, electric
shock, smoke, and/or fire.

HWE10140 GB
WARNING
Securely attach the terminal block cover (panel) to the
unit.
If the terminal block cover (panel) is not installed properly,
dust and/or water may infiltrate and pose a risk of electric
shock, smoke, and/or fire.
Only use the type of refrigerant that is indicated on the
unit when installing or reinstalling the unit.
Infiltration of any other type of refrigerant or air into the unit
may adversely affect the refrigerant cycle and may cause
the pipes to burst or explode.
When installing the unit in a small room, exercise cau-
tion and take measures against leaked refrigerant
reaching the limiting concentration.
Consult your dealer with any questions regarding limiting
concentrations and for precautionary measures before in-
stalling the unit. Leaked refrigerant gas exceeding the lim-
iting concentration causes oxygen deficiency.
Consult your dealer or a specialist when moving or re-
installing the unit.
Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric
shock, and/or fire.
After completing the service work, check for a gas
leak.
If leaked refrigerant is exposed to a heat source, such as a
fan heater, stove, or electric grill, poisonous gases may be
produced.
Do not try to defeat the safety features of the unit.
Forced operation of the pressure switch or the temperature
switch by defeating the safety features of these devices, or
the use of accessories other than the ones that are recom-
mended by MITSUBISHI may result in smoke, fire, and/or
explosion.
Only use accessories recommended by MITSUBISHI.
Ask a qualified technician to install the unit. Improper instal-
lation by the user may result in water leakage, electric
shock, smoke, and/or fire.
Control box houses high-voltage parts.
When opening or closing the front panel of the control box,
do not let it come into contact with any of the internal com-
ponents. Before inspecting the inside of the control box,
turn off the power, keep the unit off for at least 10 minutes,
and confirm that the voltage between FT-P and FT-N on
INV Board has dropped to DC20V or less. (It takes about
10minutesto dischargeelectricity afterthepower supply is
turned off.)

Precautions for handling units for use with R410A
CAUTION
Use refrigerantpiping made of phosphorusdeoxidized
copper and copper alloy seamless pipes and tubes. In
addition, be sure that the inner and outer surfaces and
the end faces of the existing and new pipes are clean
and free of hazardous sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shav-
ing particles, oils, moisture, or any other contaminant.
Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may
cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate or cause the air con-
ditioning unit to malfunction.
Store the new piping to be used during installation in-
doors and keep both ends of the piping sealed until
just before brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in a
plastic bag.)
If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deteriora-
tion of the oil and compressor failure may result.
Use a small amount of ester oil, ether oil, or alkylben-
zene to coat flares and flanges.
Infiltration of a large amount of mineral oil may cause the re-
frigerant oil to deteriorate or cause the air conditioning unit
to malfunction.
Charge liquid refrigerant (as opposed to gaseous re-
frigerant) into the system.
If gaseous refrigerant is charged into the system, the com-
position of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change and
may result in performance loss.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve.
If a vacuum pump that is not equipped with a reverse-flow
check valve is used, the vacuum pump oil may flow into the
refrigerant cycle and cause the refrigerating machine oil to
deteriorate.
Prepare tools for exclusive use with R410A. Do not use
the following tools if they have been used with the con-
ventional refrigerant (gauge manifold, charging hose,
gasleak detector,reverse-flow check valve, refrigerant
charge base, vacuum gauge, and refrigerant recovery
equipment.).
If the refrigerant or the refrigerating machine oil left on
these tools are mixed in with R410A, it may cause the re-
frigerating machine oil to deteriorate.
Infiltration of water may cause the refrigerating machine
oil to deteriorate.
Gas leak detectors for conventional refrigerants will not
detect an R410A leak because R410A is free of chlorine.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of the refrig-
erant will change, and the unit may experience power loss.
Exercise special care when handling the tools for use
with R410A.
Infiltration of dust, dirt, or water into the refrigerant system
may cause the refrigerating machine oil to deteriorate.

artifacts, or for other special purposes.
The unit is not designed to preserve food products.
Do not use the unit in an unusual environment.
Do not install the unit where a large amount of oil or steam
is present or where acidic or alkaline solutions or chemical
sprays are used frequently. Doing so may lead to a re-
markable drop in performance, electric shock, malfunc-
tions, smoke, and/or fire.
The presence of organic solvents or corrosive gas (i.e.
ammonia, sulfur compounds, and acid) may cause gas
leakage or water leakage.
When installing the unit in a hospital, take appropriate
measures to reduce noise interference.
High-frequency medical equipment may interfere with the
normal operation of the air conditioner or vice versa.
Do not install the unit on or over things that cannot get
wet.
When the humidity level exceeds 80% or if the drainage
system is clogged, the indoor unit may drip water. Drain wa-
ter is also discharged from the outdoor unit. Install a central-
ized drainage system if necessary.
