Installation guide

6 Outdoor Unit
Safety Precautions
Keep level even when installing the product.
• To avoid vibration or water leakage.
Do not install the unit where combustible gas may
leak.
• If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an
explosion may result.
Use power cables of sufficient current
carrying capacity and rating.
• Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and
cause a 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.
Keep the unit away from children. The heat exchanger
is very sharp.
• It can cause the injury, such as cutting the finger. Also the
damaged fin may result in degradation of capacity.
When installting the unit in a hospital, communication
station, or similar place, provide sufficient protection
against noise.
• The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-fre-
quency medical equipment, or radio communication equip-
ment may cause the air conditioner to operate erroneous-
ly, 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.
■ Operation
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 failure of appliance or accident.
Make the connections securely so that the
outside force of the cable may not be applied
to the terminals.
• Inadequate connection and fastening may gen-
erate heat and cause a fire.
Be sure the installation area does not deteri-
orate with age.
• If the base collapses, the air conditioner could
fall with it, causing property damage, product
failure, 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.
■ Installation
Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after instal-
lation or repair of product.
• Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of
product.
Do not install the product where the noise or hot air
from the outdoor unit could damage the neighbor-
hoods.
• It may cause a problem for your neighbors.
