Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you do the installation work yourself. • Please observe the installation stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may cause water leakage, electric shock and fire. • Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not, the units may collapse and impose danger. • Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when dealing with the electrical work. Use cables which are approved official in your country. Be sure to use the specified circuit. A short circuit and fire may occur due to the use of low quality wire or improper work. • Be sure to use the specified cables for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight after the conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals to prevent the external force is being applied to the connection section of the terminal base. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating and fire. • Please use the specified components for installation work. Otherwise, the unit may collapse or water leakage, electric shock, fire or stronger vibration may occur. • Be sure to use the specified piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults. • When installing or transferring an air conditioner to another location, make sure that air other than the specified refrigerant (R410A) does not enter the refrigeration cycle. If other air should enter, the pressure level of the refrigeration cycle may increase abnormally which could result in a rupture and injury. • Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, a poisonous gas may occur. • After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming into contact with fire in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur. • Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner may be dangerous.
