• Do not alter the unit. It may cause fire, electric shock, injury or water leakage.
• Perform electrical work according to the installation manual and be sure to use an exclusive circuit. Do not connect other electrical appliances to the circuit. If the capacity of the power circuit is insufficient or there is incomplete electrical work, it could result in a fire or an electric shock.
• Ground the unit correctly. Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone ground. Defective grounding could cause electric shock.
• Do not damage the wires. Damaged wires could cause fire.
• Be sure to shut off the main power when setting up the indoor P.C. board or wiring. Failure to do so could cause electric shock.
• Use the specified wires to securely connect the indoor and outdoor units. Attach the wires firmly to avoid applying stress to the terminal block. Improper connection could cause fire.
• Do not install the unit in a place where flammable gas may leak. If gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, it could cause an explosion.
• Do not use the intermediate connection of the power cord or the extension cord. Do not connect many devices to one AC outlet. It could cause a fire or an electric shock.
• 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 substances such as air can cause abnormal pressure rise and may result in an 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 the 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, the 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 a 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. If there is defect in the drainage/piping work, water could drip from the unit, and damage household items.
• Do not touch the air inlet or the aluminium fins of the outdoor unit. This could cause injury.
• Please wear protective equipment when you touch the base of the outdoor unit. It could cause injury if you do not wear the protective equipment.
• Do not install the outdoor unit where small animals may live. If small animals enter the unit and damage its electrical parts, it could cause a malfunction, smoke emission, or fire. Keep the area around the unit clean.

Purging Procedures, Leak Test, and Test Run

Purging Procedures and Leak Test

1. Remove service port caps from stop valves on both sides of refrigerant lines. (The stop valves are fully closed when shipped.) Leave closed.
2. Connect gauge manifold to ports of stop valves.
3. 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.
4. Evacuate the system to 1500 microns. Break the vacuum with Nitrogen(N2) into the discharge service valve to 0 PSIG.
5. Evacuate the system to 500 microns.
6. Close gauge manifold valves, stop the pump and conduct a 30-minute rise test.
7. The 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 the gas pipe and liquid pipe with 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 the performance of the air conditioner.
10. Remove gauge manifolds replace service port caps and tighten.
11. Leak test

Test Run

1. Insert the power supply plug into the power outlet and/or turn on the breaker.
2. Pressing the E.O. SW will perform a test run for 30 minutes. (For NAX, pressing the switch once will perform COOL operation and twice will perform HEAT operation.) If the upper lamp blinks every 0.5 seconds, inspect the indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A). After the test run, emergency COOL mode (75ºF [24ºC] COOL) will start.
3. To stop operation, press the E.O. SW several times until all LED lamps turn off. Refer to operating instructions for details.

Checking the remote (infrared) signal reception
Press the OFF/ON button on the remote controller (3) 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.

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 the 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 the auto restart function.
• If the auto restart function is unnecessary, it can be deactivated. Consult the service representative to deactivate the function. Refer to the service manual for details.

Explanation to the User

• Using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, explain to the user how to use the air conditioner (the remote controller, removing the air filters, placing or removing the remote controller from the remote controller holder, cleaning methods, precautions for operation, etc.)
• Recommend that the user read the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS carefully.

Removing the Indoor Unit
Remove the bottom of the indoor unit from the installation plate. When releasing the corner part, release both left and right bottom corner part of indoor unit and pull it downward and forward as shown in the figure on the right.

If the above method cannot be used
Remove the front panel. Then, insert hexagonal wrenches into the square holes on the left and right sides of the unit and push them up as shown in the following figure. The bottom of the indoor unit lowers and releases the hooks.

Pumping Down
When relocating or disposing of the air conditioner, pump down the system following the procedure below so that refrigerant is not released into the atmosphere.

1. Connect the gauge manifold valve to the service port of the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
2. Fully close the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3. Close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit almost completely so that it can be easily closed fully when the pressure gauge shows 0 psi [Gauge] (0 Mpa).
4. Start the emergency COOL operation. To start the emergency operation in COOL mode, disconnect the power supply plug and/or turn off the breaker. After 15 seconds, connect the power supply plug and/or turn on the breaker, and then press the E.O. SW once. (The emergency COOL operation can be performed continuously for up to 30 minutes.)
5. Fully close the stop valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit when the pressure gauge shows (0.1 to 0 psi [Gauge] (0.05 to 0 Mpa)).
6. Stop the emergency COOL operation. To stop operation, press the E.O. SW several times until all LED lamps turn off. Refer to operating instructions for details.

Warning When the refrigeration circuit leaks, do not execute pump down with the compressor. When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes. The compressor may burst if air etc. get into it.

Connecting the Interface/Connector Cable to the Air Conditioner

• Connect the INTERFACE/CONNECTOR CABLE to the Indoor electronic control P.C. board of the air conditioner with the connecting cable.
• Cutting or extending the connecting cable of the INTERFACE/CONNECTOR CABLE results in defects in connecting. Do not bundle the connecting cable together with power supply cord, indoor/outdoor connecting wire, and/or earth wire. Keep as much distance as possible between the connecting cable and those wires.
• The thin part of the connecting cable should be stored and placed where customers cannot touch it.
