Page 4: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions Safety Precautions To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be followed. n Incorrect operation due to ignoring instruction will cause harm or damage. The seriousness is classified by the following indications. This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury. - Page 5 Safety Precautions • When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, do not charge it with a different refrigerant from the refrigerant specified on the unit. - If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
- Page 6 Safety Precautions Installation • Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation 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 neighborhoods.
- Page 7 Safety Precautions • 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. • Be very careful about product transportation. - Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than 20kg (44lbs). - Some products use PP bands for packaging.

Page 10: Before Installation
Before Installation Before Installation Environment-friendly Alternative Refrigerant R410A • The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in comparison with R22. Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting pressure than R22 ones and this characteris- tic should be also considered during the installation. R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of R410A is 0. -
