1. Safety precautions
1.2. Before installation (relocation)
Caution:
• Be extremely careful when transporting the units. Please read and fully un-
derstand “3. Transporting the unit” before transporting the unit. Wear protec-
tive gloves to remove the unit from the packaging and to move it, as you can
injure your hands on the fins or other parts.
• Be sure to safely dispose of the packaging materials. Packaging materials, such
as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause stabs or other injuries.
Warning:
• The unit must not be installed by the user. Ask a dealer or an authorized
technician to install the unit. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leakage,
electric shock, or fire may result.
• For installation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use
tools and pipe components specifically made for use with R410A refrigerant.
The R410A refrigerant in the HFC system is pressurized 1.6 times the pressure
of usual refrigerants. If pipe components not designed for R410A refrigerant
are used and the unit is not installed correctly, the pipes may burst and cause
damage or injuries. In addition, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to minimize
the risk of damage from earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An incor-
rectly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its weight.
If the unit is mounted on an unstable structure, it may fall down and cause
damage or injuries.
• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to
prevent the refrigerant concentration in the room from exceeding the safety
limit in the event of refrigerant leakage. Consult a dealer regarding the appro-
priate measures to prevent the allowable concentration from being exceeded.
Should the refrigerant leak and cause the concentration limit to be exceeded,
hazards due to lack of oxygen in the room may result.
• Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation. If refrigerant comes
into contact with a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
• All electric work must be performed by a qualified technician according to
local regulations and the instructions given in this manual. The units must be
powered by dedicated power lines and the correct voltage and circuit break-
ers must be used. Power lines with insufficient capacity or incorrect electri-
cal work may result in electric shock or fire.
• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes,
to connect the refrigerant pipes. If the pipes are not connected correctly, the
unit will not be properly grounded and electric shock may result.
• Use only specified cables for wiring. The connections must be made securely
without tension on the terminals. If the cables are connected or installed in-
correctly, overheating or fire may result.
• The terminal block cover panel of the outdoor unit must be firmly attached. If
the cover panel is mounted incorrectly and dust and moisture enter the unit,
electric shock or fire may result.
• When installing or moving the air conditioner, use only the specified refriger-
ant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrig-
erant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. Air enclosed in the lines can
cause pressure peaks resulting in a rupture and other hazards.
• Use only accessories authorized by Mitsubishi Electric and ask a dealer or
an authorized technician to install them. If accessories are incorrectly in-
stalled, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
• Do not alter the unit. Consult a dealer for repairs. If alterations or repairs are
not performed correctly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire may result.
• The user should never attempt to repair the unit or transfer it to another loca-
tion. If the unit is installed incorrectly, water leakage, electric shock, or fire
may result. If the air conditioner must be repaired or moved, ask a dealer or
an authorized technician.
• After installation has been completed, check for refrigerant leaks. If refriger-
ant leaks into the room and comes into contact with the flame of a heater or
portable cooking range, poisonous gases will be released.
1.1. Before installation
Caution:
• Do not use the unit in an unusual environment. If the air conditioner is in-
stalled in areas exposed to steam, volatile oil (including machine oil), or sulfuric
gas, areas exposed to high salt content such as the seaside, or areas where
the unit will be covered by snow, the performance can be significantly re-
duced and the internal parts can be damaged.
• Do not install the unit where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow,
or accumulate. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, fire or explo-
sion may result.
• The outdoor unit produces condensation during the heating operation. Make
sure to provide drainage around the outdoor unit if such condensation is
likely to cause damage.
• When installing the unit in a hospital or communications office, be prepared
for noise and electronic interference. Inverters, home appliances, high-fre-
quency medical equipment, and radio communications equipment can cause
the air conditioner to malfunction or breakdown. The air conditioner may also
affect medical equipment, disturbing medical care, and communications equip-
ment, harming the screen display quality.
• The base and attachments of the outdoor unit must be periodically checked
for looseness, cracks or other damage. If such defects are left uncorrected,
the unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
• Do not clean the air conditioner unit with water. Electric shock may result.
• Tighten all flare nuts to specification using a torque wrench. If tightened too
much, the flare nut can break after an extended period and refrigerant can
leak out.
s Before installing the unit, make sure you read all the “Safety precautions”.
s This equipment does not comply with the relevant technical standard
for the limitation of flicker and this may cause adverse effects on other
electrical appliances. Please provide an exclusive circuit for the air con-
ditioner and ensure, the max. impedance in this manual. Do not connect
other appliances to this circuit.
s Please report to or take consent by the supply authority before connec-
tion to the system.

After installation work has been completed, explain the “Safety Precautions,” use,
and maintenance of the unit to the customer according to the information in the Op-
eration Manual and perform the test run to ensure normal operation. Both the Instal-
lation Manual and Operation Manual must be given to the user for keeping. These
manuals must be passed on to subsequent users.

Warning:
Carefully read the labels affixed to the main unit.
