N indoor P.C. board or wiring works.

Failure to do so could cause electric shock.

N Use the specified wires to connect the indoor and outdoor units securely and attach the wires firmly to the terminal block connecting sections so the stress of the wires is not applied to the sections. Do not extend the wires, or use intermediate connection.

Incomplete connecting and securing could cause fire.

N may leak.

If gas leaks and accumulates in the area around the unit, it could cause an explosion.

N Do not use intermediate connection of the power cord or the extension cord and do not connect many devices to one AC outlet.

It could cause a fire or an electric shock due to defective contact, defective insulation, exceeding the permissible current, etc.

N 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.

N make sure that there is no dust, clogging, or loose parts in both the outlet and the plug. Make sure that the power supply plug is pushed completely into the outlet.

If there is dust, clogging, 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.

N Attach the electrical cover to the indoor unit and the service panel to the outdoor unit securely.

If the electrical cover of the indoor unit and/or the service panel of the outdoor unit are not attached securely, it could result in a fire or an electric shock due to dust, water, etc.

N 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.

N refrigerant leaks during installation, ventilate the room.

If refrigerant comes in contact with a fire, harmful gas could be generated. Refrigerant leakage may cause suffocation.

Provide ventilation in accordance with EN378-1.

N lation has been completed.

If refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the flame of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will be generated.

N tion.

The pressure of R410A is 1.6 times more than R22. Not using appropriate tools or materials and incomplete installation could cause the pipes to burst or injury.

N 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. This could cause the pipes to burst or injury.

N 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 when the stop valve is open, air could be drawn in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could become abnormally high. This could cause the pipes to burst or injury.

• 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.

3) Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)

4) Check the vacuum with gauge manifold valve, then close gauge manifold valve, and stop the vacuum pump.

5) Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure pointer gauge manifold valve remains in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows –0.101 MPa [Gauge] (–760 mmHg).

6) Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.

7) After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on both sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe. Operating without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble.

8) Refer to 1-3., and charge the prescribed amount of 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.

9) Tighten cap of service port to obtain the initial status.

10) Leak test

4-4. EXPLANATION TO THE USER

• Using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, explain to the user how to use the air conditioner (how to use the remote controller, how to remove the air filters, how to remove or put the remote controller in the remote controller holder, how to clean, precautions for operation, etc.).

• Recommend the user to read the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS carefully.

Upper and lower vanes

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 MPa [Gauge] (0 kgf/cm 2 ).

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 0.05 to 0 MPa [Gauge] (approx. 0.5 to 0 kgf/cm 2 ).

6) Stop the emergency COOL operation.

Press the E.O. SW several times until all LED lamps turn off. Refer to operating instructions for details.

Installation procedure

1) Install the panel assembly following the removal procedure in reverse.

2) Be sure to press the positions as indicated by the arrows in order to attach the assembly completely to the unit.

3) Install the horizontal vanes.

WARNING

When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes. The compressor may burst if air etc. get into it.
