    – If the power source capacity is inadequate or electric work is performed improperly, electric shock or fire may result.

  • Always install a dedicated circuit and breaker.
    – Improper wiring or installation may cause fire or electric shock.

  • For re-installation of the installed product, always contact a dealer or an Authorized Service Centre.
    – There is risk of fire, electric shock, explosion, or injury.

  • Do not install, remove, or re-install the unit by yourself (customer).
    – There is risk of fire, electric shock, explosion, or injury.

  • Do not store or use flammable gas or combustibles near the air conditioner.
    – There is risk of fire or product malfunction.

  • Use the correctly rated breaker or fuse. – There is risk of fire or electric shock.

  • Use a vacuum pump or Inert(nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not compress air or Oxygen and do not use

Flammable gases.
– There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.

  • When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, do not charge it with a different refrigerant from the refrigerant specified on the unit.
    – If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.

  • Do not reconstruct to change the settings of the protection devices.
    – If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is shorted and operated forcibly, or parts other than those specified by LGE are used, fire or explosion may result.

  • Securely install the cover of control box and the panel.

    – If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, explosion may result.

  • Use power cables of sufficient current carrying capacity and rating.
    – Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause fire.

  • Do not use the product for special purposes, such as preserving foods, works of art, etc.
    It is a consumer air conditioner, not a precision refrigeration system.
    – There is risk of damage or loss of property.

  • When installing the unit in a hospital, communication station, or similar place, provide sufficient protection against noise. – The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequency medical equipment, or radio  communication equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate erroneously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the air conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise that disturbs medical treatment or image broadcasting.

  • Do not install the product where it is exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.
    – It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunction or inefficient operation.

  • Do not insert a drain hose in drain or soil pipe.
    – Bad smells can occur and it results in corrosion of a heat exchanger or pipe.

  • When using an auxiliary heater, refer to the installation manual of the product for installation and details.

  • Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.
    – Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the performance of the air conditioner or damage its parts.

  • Do not block the inlet or outlet.
    – It may cause product malfunction or accident.

  • Be sure the installation area does not deteriorate over time.
    – If the base collapses, the air conditioner could fall with it, causing property damage, product malfunction, or personal injury.

  • Install and insulate the drain hose to ensure that water is drained away properly based on the installation manual.
    – A bad connection may cause water leakage.

  • Safely dispose of the packing materials.
    – Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries.
    – Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children may not play with them. If children play with a plastic bag which was not torn apart, they  face the risk of suffocation.

  • Turn on the power at least 6 hours before starting operation.
    – Starting operation immediately after turning on the main power switch can result in severe damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch turned on during  the operational season.

  • Do not operate the air conditioner with the panels or guards removed.
    – Rotating, hot, or high-voltage parts can cause injuries.

  • Do not directly turn off the main power switch after stopping operation.
    – Wait at least 5 minutes before turning off the main power switch. Otherwise it may result in water leakage or other problems.

  • Auto-addressing should be done in condition of connecting the power of all indoor and outdoor units. Auto-addressing should also be done in case of changing the indoor unit PCB.

  • Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while the air conditioner is plugged in.

CAUTION
Before performing any maintenance, turn off the main power to the system.
Never use any of the followings:

  • Water hotter than 40 °C could cause deformation and/or discoloration.
  • Volatile substances could damage the surfaces of the air conditioner.

INSTALLATION SPACE

– There should not be any heat source or steam near the unit.
– There should not be any obstacles to the air circulation.
– A place where air circulation in the room will be good.
– A place where drainage can be easily obtained.
– A place where noise prevention is taken into consideration.
– Do not install the unit near the door way.
– Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the wall, ceiling, or other obstacles.
– The indoor unit must have the maintenance space.
– For more information, refer to installation manual.

CAUTION
In case that the unit is installed near the sea, the installation parts may be corroded by salt. The installation parts (and the unit) should be taken appropriate anti-corrosion measures.

LIFTING METHOD

Use two or more people to lift and transport the product.

CAUTION

  • Use 2 belts of at least longer than 8 m.
  • Place extra cloth or boards in the locations where the casing comes in contact with the sling to prevent damage.
  • Hoist the unit making sure it is being lifted at its center of gravity.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

– Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard related to electrical equipment, wiring regulations and guidance of each electric power company.

WARNING
Be sure to have authorized electrical engineers do the electric work using special circuits in accordance with regulations and installation manual. If power supply circuit has a lack of capacity or electric work deficiency, it may cause an electric shock or fire.
– Install the Outdoor Unit communication cable away from the power source wiring so that it is not affected by electric noise from the power source. (Do not run it through the same conduit.)
– Be sure to provide designated grounding work to Outdoor Unit.

CAUTION
Be sure to correct the outdoor unit to earth. Do not connect ground wire to any gas pipe, liquid pipe, lightening rod or telephone earth line. If earth is incomplete, it may cause an electric shock.

  • Give some allowance to wiring for electrical part box of Indoor and Outdoor Units, because the box is sometimes removed at the time of service work.
  • Never connect the main power source to terminal block of communication cable. If connected, electrical parts will be burnt out.
  • Use 2-core shield cable for communication  cable.( **** mark in the figure below) If communication cable of different systems are wired with the same multiple core cable, the resultant poor transmitting and receiving will cause  erroneous operations. ( mark in the figure below)
  • Only the communication cable specified should be connected to the terminal block for Outdoor Unit communication.
  • Supply line of appliances shall not be lighter than polychloroprene sheathed. (code designation 60245 IEC 57)
