1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully before servicing.
The precautions described below include the important items regarding safety. Observe them without fail.
After the servicing work, perform a trial operation to check for any problem.
Turn off the main power supply switch (or breaker) before the unit maintenance.
For general public use
Power supply cord of outdoor unit shall be more than 1.5 mm
2
(H07RN-F or 245IEC66) polychloroprene sheathed flexible cord.
CAUTION
New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation
• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT DESTROY OZONE
LAYER.
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membrane, and oils because the working pressure of
R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the adoption of the new refrigerant, the refrigeration
machine oil has also been changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or
refrigeration machine oil does not enter into the new type refrigerant R410A air conditioner circuit.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port on main unit and
installation tools are different from those used for the conventional refrigerant units. Accordingly, special tools are required for the
new refrigerant (R410A) units. For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with high pressure fittings made for
R410A only, so that water and/or dust does not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are some problems
with pressure fittings and possible impurities in existing pipi
ng.
CAUTION
TO DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
This appliance must be connected to the main power supply by a circuit breaker or a switch with a contact separation of at least
3 mm.
The installation fuse (25A D type ) must be used for the power supply line of this air conditioner
.
DANGER
Ask an authorized dealer or qualified installation professional to install/maintain the air conditioner.
Inappropriate servicing may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.
TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. MAKE SURE ALL POWER
SWITCHES ARE OFF. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
CORRECTLY CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS INCORRECTLY CONNECTED,
ELECTRIC PARTS MAY BE DAMAGED.
CHECK THAT THE EARTH WIRE IS NOT BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED BEFORE SERVICE AND INSTALLATION.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT INSTALL NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS OR GAS VAPORS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
TO PREVENT THE INDOOR UNIT FROM OVERHEATING AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD, PLACE THE UNIT WELL
AWAY (MORE THAN 2 M) FROM HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEAT REGISTORS, FURNACE, STOVES,
ETC.
WHEN MOVING THE AIR-CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLATION IN ANOTHER PLACE, BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO
ALLOW THE SPECIFIED REFRIGERANT (R410A) TO BECOME MIXED WITH ANY OTHER GASEOUS BODY INTO THE
REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT. IF AIR OR ANY OTHER GAS IS MIXED IN THE REFRIGERANT, THE GAS PRESSURE IN
THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT WILL BECOME ABNORMALLY HIGH AND IT MAY RESULT IN THE PIPE BURSTING
AND POSSIBLE PERSONNEL INJURIES.
IN THE EVENT THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PIPE DURING THE SERVICE WORK AND THE
INSTALLATION WORK, IMMEDIATELY LET FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM. IF THE REFRIGERANT GAS IS HEATED,
SUCH AS BY FIRE, GENERATION OF POISONOUS GAS MAY RESULT
.
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE
The high voltage circuit is incorporated.
Be careful to do the check service, as the electric shock may be caused
in case of touching parts on the P.C. board by ha
nd.
