CAUTION SIGNS
Make sure the voltage and frequency of the electric system are compatible with the
air conditioner.
If a power outage occurs while the air conditioner is working, turn off the power
source immediately.
Max current is measured according to IEC standard for safety and current is
measured according to ISO standard for energy efficiency.
The unit must be plugged into an independent circuit if applicable or connect the
power cable to the auxiliary circuit breaker. An all pole disconnection from the power
supply must be incorporated in the fixed wiring with a contact opening of >3mm.
After connecting the power cable between the indoor/outdoor unit, attach the cover
of component box securely and make sure it is not loose.
For the power cable, use the grade of H07RN-F or H05RN-F materials.
The unbalanced power must be maintained within 10% of supply rating among whole
indoor units.
If the power is unbalanced greatly, it may shorten the life of the condenser.
If the unbalanced power is exceeded over 10% of supply rating, the indoor unit is
