PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
• Never modify this unit by removing any of the safety guards or by by-passing any of the
safety interlock switches.
• Exposure of unit to water or other moisture before installation may cause a short circuit.
Do not store it 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.
• To avoid personal injury, be careful when handling parts with sharp edges.
• Perform installation work properly according to the Installation Manual.
Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire.
• When installing the air conditioner in a small room, provide appropriate measures to ensure
that the concentration of refrigerant in the room does not exceed the critical level should
leakage occur.
It is not dangerous refrigerant; it has not toxicity or combustibility. However, a concentration above 0.3kg/m³
as criterion still causes suffocation. The volume of refrigerant charged to the Multi System air conditioner is
more than the volume charged to a conventional individual system.
• Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the weight of the unit can be
sustained adequately.
• Perform the specified installation work to guard against an earthquake.
If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the falling unit.
• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may generate.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas may
generate.
• The electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
Installation Manual. Make sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive circuit.
An insufficient circuit capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.
• When wiring, use the specified cables and connect the terminals securely to prevent
external forces applied to the cable from affecting the terminals.
• Be sure to provide grounding.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires for telephone cables.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause electric shock.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location subject to a risk of exposure to combustible
gas.
Otherwise, the combustible gas leaks, stays around the unit and a fire may occur.
