Use the parts provided or specified parts for the installation work.
The use of defective parts could cause an injury or leakage of water due to a fire, an electric shock, the unit falling, etc.
When plugging the power supply plug into the outlet, make sure that there is
no dust, blockage, or loose parts both in the outlet and on the plug. Verify that the power supply plug is completely in the outlet. If there is dust, blockage, or loose parts on the power supply plug or the outlet, it could cause electric shock or fire. If loose parts are found on the power supply plug, replace it.

Securely attach the electrical cover to the indoor unit and the service panel to
the outdoor unit. If the electrical cover of the indoor unit and/or the service panel of the outdoor unit are not attached securely, dust, water, etc. could collect in the unit and could cause a fire or an electric shock.
When installing, relocating, or servicing the unit, make sure that no substance
other than the specified refrigerant (R410A) enters the refrigerant circuit. Any presence of foreign substance such as air can cause abnormal pressure rise and may result in explosion or injury. The use of any refrigerant other than that specified for the system will cause mechanical failure, system malfunction, or unit breakdown. In the worst case, this could lead to a serious impediment to securing product safety.
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. Check that the refrigerant gas
does not leak after installation has been completed. If refrigerant leaks during installation, ventilate the room. If refrigerant comes in contact with a fire, harmful gas could be generated. If refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the flame of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful gases will be generated.
Use appropriate tools and piping materials for installation.
The pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than R22. Not using the appropriate tools and materials, or improper installation could cause the pipes to burst causing an injury.
When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting
the refrigerant pipes. If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected while the compressor is running and the stop valve is open, air could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could become abnormally high, causing the pipes to burst.
When installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before starting
the compressor. If the compressor is started before the refrigerant pipes are connected and the stop valve is open, air could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could become abnormally high, causing the pipes to burst.
Fasten a flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in this manual.
If fastened too tight, a flare nut could break and cause refrigerant leakage.
Install the unit according to national wiring regulations. When opening or closing the valve below freezing temperatures, refrigerant may
spurt out from the gap between the valve stem and the valve body, resulting in injuries.
Exercise caution when using any auxiliary heat source and follow all third party
manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines for installation and usage. Any auxiliary heat source connected to this unit via the CN24 connection must have an independent temperature control mechanism. Failure to install and maintain such temperature control mechanism may void the warranty for this unit. Mitsubishi Electric shall not bear any warranty obligation or other liability for any damage or loss in connection with such third party auxiliary heaters.

Caution (Could lead to serious injury when operated incorrectly.)

Depending on the installation area, install a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit
breaker. If the Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit breaker is not installed, an electric shock could occur.
Perform the drainage/piping work securely according to the installation manual.

2-4-2. Drain Piping · Do not cut the drain hose of the unit. (Fig. 1) · If the extension drain hose has to pass through a room, be sure to wrap it with insula-
tion (field-supplied). · The drain hose should point downward for easy drain. (Fig. 2) · If the drain hose provided with the indoor unit is too short, connect it with a field-supplied
drain hose (I). (Fig. 3) · When connecting the drain hose to a hard vinyl chloride pipe, be sure to insert it
securely into the pipe. (Fig. 4) · Make sure that no stress is applied to the connecting portion of the drain hose after
installing the indoor unit. Otherwise, breakage or water leakage may result. · Be sure to use the drain hose attached to the indoor unit. Otherwise, water leakage
or breakage due to chemical may result. · Do not apply any agent on the drain port. Doing so may cause breakage.
Do not put the drain pipe directly in a drainage ditch where Ammonia or Sulphuric gas may be generated. The evaporated corrosive gas may return to the indoor side through drain pipe and this may cause an unpleasant odor and corrosion on Heat exchanger may occur.

Checking the remote (infrared) signal reception Press the OFF/ON button on the remote controller and listen for an audible indicator from the indoor unit. Press the OFF/ON button again to turn the air conditioner off. · Once the compressor stops, the restart preventive device operates so the compressor
will not operate for 3 minutes to protect the air conditioner.

4-3. Auto Restart Function
This product is equipped with an auto restart function. When the power supply is cut off during operation, such as during blackouts, the function automatically starts operation in the previous
setting once the power supply is resumed. (Refer to the operating instructions for details.)

Caution: · After test run or remote signal reception check, turn off the unit with the E.O. SW or the
remote controller before turning off the power supply. If this procedure is not performed, the unit will automatically begin operation when power supply is resumed. To the user · After installing the unit, explain to the user about auto restart function. · If auto restart function is unnecessary, it can be deactivated. Consult the service representative to deactivate the function. Refer to the service manual for details.

  1. Evacuate the system to 4000 microns from both service valves. System manifold gauges must not be used to measure vacuum. A micron gauge must be used at all times. Break the vacuum with Nitrogen(N2) into the discharge service valve to 0 PSIG.
  2. Evacuate the system to 1500 microns. Break the vacuum with Nitrogen(N2) into the discharge service valve to 0 PSIG.
  3. Evacuate the system to 500 microns. 6) Close gauge manifold valves, stop the pump, and conduct a 30 minute rise test. 7) System should hold 500 microns for a minimum of 1 hour. 8) Fully open the valve stem of all stop valves on both sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe
    by the hexagonal wrench. If the valve stem hits the stopper, do not turn it any further. Operating without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble. 9) Refer to 1-3 and charge the prescribed amount of additional refrigerant if needed. Be sure to charge slowly with liquid refrigerant. Otherwise composition of the refrigerant in the system may be changed and affect performance of the air conditioner. 10) Remove gauge manifolds and replace service port caps and tighten. 11) Leak test
