WARNING
General

• Carefully read Owner’s Manual before starting the air conditioner. There are many important things to keep in mind for daily operations.
• Ask for installation to be performed by the dealer or a professional. Only a Qualified installer (*1) is able to install an air conditioner. If a non-qualified person installs an air conditioner, it may result in problems such as fire, electric shock, injury, water leakage, noise, and vibration.
• Do not use any refrigerant different from the one specified for complement or replacement. Otherwise, abnormally high pressure may be generated in the refrigeration cycle, which may result in a failure or explosion of the product or an injury to your body.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where the operation sound of the outdoor unit may cause a disturbance. (Especially at the boundary line with a neighbor, install the air conditioner while considering the noise.)
• This appliance is intended to be used by an expert or trained users in shops, in light industry, or for commercial use by lay persons.

Transportation and storage

• To transport the air conditioner, wear shoes with protective toe caps, protective gloves, and other protective clothing.
• To transport the air conditioner, do not take hold of the bands around the packing carton. You may injure yourself if the bands should break.
• Before stacking the packing cartons for storage or transportation, heed the precautions written on the packing cartons. Failure to heed the precautions may cause the stack to collapse.
• The air conditioner must be transported in stable condition. If any part of the product is broken, contact your dealer.
• When the air conditioner must be transported by hand, carry it by two or more people.

Installation

• Only a Qualified installer (1) or Qualified service person (1) is allowed to carry out the electrical work of the air conditioner. Under no circumstances must this work be done by an unqualified individual since failure to carry out the work properly may result in electric shocks and/or electrical leaks.
• After the installation work has been completed, have the installer explain the circuit breaker positions. In the event that trouble has occurred in the air conditioner, set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a service person.
• If the unit is installed in a small room, take appropriate measures to prevent the refrigerant from exceeding the limit concentration even if it leaks. Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the air conditioner when you implement the measures. Accumulation of highly concentrated refrigerant may cause an oxygen deficiency accident.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location that may be subject to a risk of expiring to a combustible gas. If combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
• Use the company-specified products for the separately purchased parts. Use of non-specified products may result in fire, electric shock, water leakage or other trouble. Have the installation performed by a professional.
• Confirm that earthing is performed correctly.

Operation

• Before opening the intake grille of the indoor unit or service panel of the outdoor unit, set the circuit breaker to the OFF position. Failure to set the circuit breaker to the OFF position may result in electric shocks through contact with the interior parts. Only a Qualified installer (1) or Qualified service person (1) is allowed to remove the intake grille of the indoor unit or service panel of the outdoor unit and do the work required.
• Inside the air conditioners are high-voltage areas and rotating parts. Due to the danger of electric shocks or of your fingers or physical objects becoming trapped in the rotating parts, do not remove the service panel of the outdoor unit. When work involving the removal of these parts is required, contact a Qualified installer (1) or a Qualified service person (1).
• Do not move or repair any unit by yourself. Since there is a high voltage inside the unit, you may get an electric shock when removing the cover and the main unit.
• Use of a stand more than 50 cm high to clean the filter of the indoor unit or to carry out other such jobs constitutes working at heights. Due to the danger of falling off the stand and injuring yourself while working at heights, this kind of work should not be done by unqualified individuals. When this kind of work must be carried out, do not do it yourself but ask a qualified installer or a qualified service person to do it for you.
• Do not touch the aluminum fin of the outdoor unit. You may injure yourself if you do so. If the fin must be touched, do not touch it yourself but contact a qualified installer or a qualified service person.
• Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit. You may fall or the objects may fall off of the outdoor unit and result in injury.
• Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to the wind of the air conditioner, otherwise, it may cause imperfect combustion.
• When the air conditioner is operated with a combustion appliance in the same place, ventilate the room sufficiently. Poor ventilation causes oxygen shortage.
• When the air conditioner is used in a closed room, sufficiently ventilate the room. Poor ventilation causes oxygen shortage.
• Do not expose your body to cool air directly for a long time and do not cool yourself excessively. Doing so may result in the deteriorated physical condition and ill health.
• Do not insert your finger or a stick into the air intake or discharge. Doing so may result in injury as the fan is rotating at high speed inside the unit.
• Consult the shop where you purchased the air conditioner if air conditioning (cooling and heating) is not performed properly as a refrigerant leakage may be the cause. Confirm the repair details with a Qualified service person (*1) when the repair includes additional charging of the refrigerant.
• Stop running the air conditioner and turn off the breaker before cleaning. Otherwise, an injury may result as the fan is rotating at high speed inside the unit.

Repairs

• When you have noticed that some kind of trouble (such as when a check display has appeared, there is a smell of burning, abnormal sounds are heard, the air conditioner fails to cool or heat or water is leaking) has occurred in the air conditioner, do not touch the air conditioner yourself but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a qualified service person. Take steps to ensure that the power will not be turned on (by marking “out of service” near the circuit breaker, for instance) until a qualified service person arrives. Continuing to use the air conditioner in the abnormal status may cause mechanical problems to escalate or result in electric shocks, etc.

• If the fan grille is damaged, do not approach the outdoor unit but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a Qualified service person (*1) to have the repairs done. Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position until the repairs are completed.

• If you have discovered that there is a danger of the indoor unit falling, do not approach the indoor unit but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a  Qualified installer (1) or a Qualified service person (1) to refit the unit. Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position until the unit has been refitted.

• If there is a danger of the outdoor unit toppling over, do not approach the outdoor unit but set the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and contact a Qualified installer (1) or a Qualified service person (1) to have the improvements or refitting done. Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position until the improvements or refitting is completed.

• Do not customize the unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or other trouble.
  Relocation

• When the air conditioner is to be relocated, do not relocate it yourself but contact a Qualified installer (1) or a Qualified service person (1). Failure to relocate the air conditioner properly may result in electric shocks and/or a fire.

Operations and performance

♦ Check before running

• Check whether the earth wire is cut or disconnected.
• Check whether the air filter is installed.
• Turn on the circuit breaker 12 hours before starting the operation.

♦ 3 minutes protection function
The 3-minute protection function prevents the air conditioner from starting for initial 3 minutes after the main power switch/circuit breaker is turned on for re-starting the air conditioner.

♦ Power failure
Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely.

• To restart the operation, push the ON / OFF button on the remote controller.
• Lightning or a wireless car telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction. Turn off the main power switch or circuit breaker and then turn them on again. Push the ON / OFF button on the remote controller to restart.

♦ Defrosting operation
If the outdoor unit is frosted during the heating operation, defrosting starts automatically (for approximately 2 to 10 minutes) to maintain the heating capacity.

• The fans in both indoor and outdoor units will stop during the defrosting operation.
• During the defrosting operation, the fan of the indoor unit / outdoor unit stops, and the lower of the indoor unit closes.
• During the defrosting operation, the defrosted water will be drained from the bottom plate of the outdoor unit.

♦ Heating capacity

In the heating operation, the heat is absorbed from the outside and brought into the room. This way of heating is called heat pump system. When the outside temperature is too low, it is recommended to use another heating apparatus in combination with the air conditioner.

♦ Protective device

• Stops operation when the air-conditioner is overloaded.
• If the protective device is activated, the unit stops running, and the operation indicator and check indicator on the remote controller blink.

♦ If the protective device is activated

• Turn off the circuit breaker and perform a checkup. Continued running may cause a malfunction.
• Check whether the air filter is installed. If not, the heat exchanger may be clogged with dust and water leakage may occur.

During cooling

• The air intake or discharge of the outdoor unit is clogged.
• Strong wind continuously blows against the discharge of the outdoor unit.

During heating

• The air filter is clogged with a large amount of dust.
• The air intake or discharge of the indoor unit is clogged.

♦ Do not turn off the circuit breaker

• During the air-conditioning season, leave the circuit breaker turned on, and use the ON / OFF key on the remote controller.

♦ Attention to snowfall and freezing on the outdoor unit

• In snowy areas, the air intake and air discharge of the outdoor unit are often covered with snow or frozen up. If snow or freeze on the outdoor unit is left as it is, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
• In cold areas, pay attention to the drain hose so that it perfectly drains water without water remaining inside for freeze prevention. If water freezes in the drain hose or inside the outdoor unit, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.

♦ Air conditioner operating conditions For proper performance, operate the air conditioner under the following temperature conditions: Refer to the combined outdoor unit installation manual for details about the outdoor temperature.

Cooling operation| Room temperature : 21°C to 32°C (Dry bulb temp.), 15°C to 28°C (Wet bulb temp.)
---|---
[CAUTION] Room relative humidity — less than 80%. If the air conditioner operates in excess of this  figure, the surface of the air conditioner may cause dewing.
Heating operation| Room temperature : 15°C to 28°C (Dry bulb temp.)

If the air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, safety protection may work

Installation

Do not install the air conditioner in the following places

• Do not install the air conditioner in any place within 1 m from a TV, stereo, or radio set. If the unit is installed in such a place, noise transmitted from the air conditioner affects the operation of these appliances.
• Do not install the air conditioner near a high-frequency appliance (sewing machine or massager for business use, etc.), otherwise, the air conditioner may malfunction.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a humid or oily place, or in a place where steam, soot, or corrosive gas is generated.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a salty place such as a seaside area.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where a great deal of machine oil is used.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where it is usually exposed to strong wind such as in a seaside area.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where sulfurous gas is generated such as in a spa.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a vessel or mobile crane.
• Do not install the air conditioner in an acidic or alkaline atmosphere (in a hot-spring area or near a chemicals factory, or in a place subject to combustion emissions). Corrosion may be generated on the aluminum fin and copper pipe of the heat exchanger.
• Do not install the air conditioner near an obstacle (air vent, lighting equipment, etc.) that disturbs discharge air. (Turbulent airflow may reduce the performance or disable devices.)
• Do not use the air conditioner for special purposes such as preserving food, precision instruments, or art objects, or where breeding animals or growing plants are kept. (This may degrade the quality of preserved materials.)
• Do not install the air conditioner over an object that must not get wet. (Condensation may drop from the indoor unit at a humidity of 80% or more or when the drain port is clogged.)
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where an organic solvent is used.
• Do not install the air conditioner near a door or window subject to the humid outside air. Condensation may form on the air conditioner.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where the special spray is used frequently.

Be careful with noise or vibrations

• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where noise from the outdoor unit or hot air from its air discharge annoys your neighbors.
• Install the air conditioner on a solid and stable foundation so that it prevents transmission of resonating, operation noise, and vibration.
• If one indoor unit is operating, some sounds may be audible from other indoor units that are not operating.
