For general public use
UK PLUGS AND SOCKETS ETC (SAFETY) REGULATIONS 1994,
With regard to Schedule 3, item 7 of the above UK Regulations, this appliance must be permanently connected to the
fixed wiring of the main electrical supply by means other than the use of an approved 13 Amp plug-top as outlined in
the Regulations.
Electrical work must be carried by suitably qualified persons and in accordance with all relevant safety standards and
codes of practice.
We recommend that the power supply for this appliance is derived from a suitably protected dedicated circuit.
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 impurity such as water, oxidizing membrane, and oils because pressure of
R410A refrigerant is approx. 1,6 times of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with adoption of the new refrigerant, refriger-
ating machine oil has been also changed. Therefore, during installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrig-
erant, or refrigerating machine oil does not enter into the refrigerating cycle of new-refrigerant air conditioner.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port of the
main unit or installation tools are different from those for the conventional refrigerant. Accordingly, the exclusive tools
are required for the new refrigerant (R410A) as shown below.
For connecting pipes, use new and clean piping materials with high pressure-tight force, which were made for R410A
only, so that water or dust does not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are problems about
pressure-tight force and inner impurity in the existing piping.
CAUTION
To Disconnect the Appliance from the Mains Supply.
This appliance must be connected to the mains by means of a circuit breaker or a switch with a contact separation of
at least 3 mm.
DANGER
Engage Dealer or Specialist for Installation.
• FOR ELECTRICAL WORKS THE WIRING AND CABLES MUST BE PERFORMED IN COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL
WIRING STANDARD OR REGULATION.
IF INCORRECT AND INCOMPLETE WIRING IS CARRIED OUT, IT WILL CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR ELEC-
TRICAL SHOCK.
• USE THE SPECIFIED CABLE (1,0mm
2
or more) AND CONNECT TIGHTLY FOR INDOOR/OUTDOOR CONNECTION.
CONNECT TIGHTLY AND CLAMP THE CABLE SO THAT EXTERNAL FORCE WILL BE ACTED ON THE TERMINAL.
• WIRE ROUTING MUST BE PROPERLY ARRANGED SO THAT CONTROL BOARD COVER IS FIXED PROPERLY.
• DO NOT DAMAGE OR SCRATCH THE CONDUCTIVE CORE AND INNER INSULATOR OF THE CABLES.
• DO NOT DEFORM OR SMASH ON THE SURFACE OF THE CABLES. DO NOT PRESS OR FIX THE CORD AND
CABLES FIRMLY WITH STAPLES, etc.
• DO NOT USE THE INTER-CONNECTING CABLE. NEVER EXECUTE THE CONNECTION OF WIRING WITH OTHER
METHOD THAN THE APPROVED ONE. OTHERWISE, OVERHEAT, SMOKE OR FIRE MAY BE GENERATED BY
CONTACT ERROR.
• TURN OFF MAIN POWER SUPPLY AND BREAKER BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. MAKE
SURE ALL POWER SWITCHES AND BREAKER TURN OFF. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• CONNECT THE CONNECTING CABLE CORRECTLY. IF THE CONNECTING CABLE IS CONNECTED BY
WRONG WAY, ELECTRIC PARTS MAY BE DAMAGED.
• GROUNDING WIRE WORKS MUST BE CONSTRUCTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH INSTALLATION MANUAL.
• BE SURE TO USE THE CORD-CLAMPS AND THE UNIT COVER TO THE SPECIFIED POSITIONS WITH
ATTACHED TO THE PRODUCT. MOUNT THE UNIT COVER FOR CABLES OF CONNECTING SECTION
FIRMLY WITH THE SCREWS.
• DO NOT INSTALL NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS OF GAS VAPORS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
• IF A REFRIGERATION GAS LEAKS DURING INSTALLATION, BE SURE TO PERFORM VENTILATION.
IF THE REFRIGERANT GAS COMES INTO CONTACT WITH FIRE, A POISONOUS GAS MAY OCCUR.
WHEN INSTALLING AN AIR CONDITIONER, DO NOT ALLOW AIR OR MOISTURE TO REMAIN IN THE RE-
FRIGERATION CYCLE. OTHERWISE, PRESSURE IN THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE MAY BECOME ABNOR-
MALLY HIGH SO THAT A RUPTURE OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY BE CAUSED.
WARNING
• Never modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards of by-passing any of the safety interlock switches.
• Do not install in a place which cannot bear the weight of the unit.
Personal injury and property damage can result if the unit falls.
• Before doing the electrical work, attach an approved cable to the power supply cord.
And make sure the equipment to be earthed.
• For installation, use the tools and piping materials exclusively manufactured for R410A, and install securely in
compliance with this Installation Manual.
Pressure of the used HFC R410A refrigerant becomes higher approx. 1,6 times of that of the conventional refriger-
ant. Therefore, if the exclusive piping materials are not used or incomplete installation is carried out, it may cause a
rupture or personal injury, as well water leak, electrical shock, and a fire may be caused.
• When installing or moving the air conditioner, do not mix air and so on than the specified refrigerant (R410A) in the
refrigeration cycle. If air and so on is mixed, the pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high
so that personal injury may be caused by a rupture.
CAUTION
• Exposure of unit or water or other moisture before installation will result in an electrical short.
Do not store in a wet basement or expose to rain or water.
• After unpacking the unit, examine it carefully for possible damage.
• Do not install in a place that can increase the vibration of the unit. Do not install in a place that can amplify the
noise level of the unit or where noise and discharged air might disturb user's neighbors.
• To avoid personal injury, be careful when handling parts with sharp edges.
• Please read the installation manual carefully before installing the unit. It contains further important instructions for
proper installation.
• Never install a power capacitor for power factor improvement.
