After completing installation, test the unit to check for installation errors. Give the user adequate instructions concerning the use and cleaning of the unit according to the Operation Manual.
DANGER
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, especially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious injury or death. If the refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate the area immediately.
Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire such as from a fan heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure to this gas could cause severe injury or death.
After completing the installation work, check that the refrigerant gas does not leak.
Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire such as from a fan heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure to this gas could cause severe injury or death.
Do not ground units to water pipes, telephone wires or lightning rods because incomplete grounding could cause a severe shock hazard resulting in severe injury or death, and to gas pipes because a gas leak could result in an explosion which could lead to severe injury or death. Safely dispose of the packing materials.
Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries. Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them. Children playing with plastic bags face the danger of death by suffocation.
Do not install unit in an area where flammable materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in serious injury or death. Do not ground units to telephone wires or lightning rods because lightning strikes could cause a severe shock hazard resulting in severe injury or death, and to gas pipes because a gas leak could result in an explosion which could lead to severe injury or death.
Install the air conditioner according to the instructions given in this manual.
Incomplete installation may cause water leakage, electrical shock, fire or equipment damage.
Install the air conditioner on a solid base that is level and can support the weight of the unit.
An inadequate base or incomplete installation may cause injury or equipment damage in the event the unit falls off the base or comes loose.
Electrical work should be carried out in accordance with the installation manual and the national, state and local electrical wiring codes.
Insufficient capacity or incomplete electrical work may cause electrical shock, fire or equipment damage.
Be sure to use a dedicated power circuit. Never use a power supply shared by another appliance. Follow all appropriate electrical codes. For wiring, use a wire or cable long enough to cover the entire distance with no splices if possible. Do not use an extension cord. Do not put other loads on the power supply. Use an only a separate dedicated power circuit.
(Failure to do so may cause abnormal heat, electric shock, fire or equipment damage.)
Use the specified types of wires for electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units. Follow all state and local electrical codes.
Firmly clamp the interconnecting wires so their terminals receive no external stresses. Incomplete connections or clamping may cause terminal overheating, fire or equipment damage.
After connecting all wiring be sure to shape the cables so that they do not put undue stress on the electrical covers, panels or terminals.
Install covers over the wires. Incomplete cover installation may cause terminal overheating, electrical shock,fire or equipment damage.
When installing or relocating the system, be sure to keep the refrigerant circuit free from all substances other than the specified refrigerant (R410A), such as air.
(Any presence of air or other foreign substance in the refrigerant circuit causes an abnormal pressure rise which may result in rupture, resulting in injury.)
During pump-down, stop the compressor before removing the refrigerant piping.
If the compressor is still running and the stop valve is open during pump-down, air will be sucked in when the refrigerant piping is removed, causing abnormally high pressure which could lead to equipment damage or and personal injury.
During installation, attach the refrigerant piping securely before running the compressor.
If the compressor is not attached and the stop valve is open during pump-down, air will be sucked in when the compressor is run, causing abnormally high pressure which could lead to equipment damage and personal injury.
CAUTION
Do not install the air conditioner where gas leakage would be exposed to open flames.
If the gas leaks and builds up around the unit, it may catch fire.
Tighten the flare nut according to the specified torque. A torque wrench should be used.
If the flare nut is tightened too much, the flare nut may crack over time and cause refrigerant leakage.
Make sure to provide for adequate measures in order to prevent that the outdoor unit be used as a shelter by small animals.
Small animals making contact with electrical parts can cause malfunctions, smoke or fire. Please instruct the customer to keep the area around the unit clean.

NOTE
Cannot be installed hanging from ceiling or stacked.
CAUTION
When operating the air conditioner in a low outdoor ambient temperature, be sure to follow the instructions described below. 1) To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its suction side facing the wall. 2) Never install the outdoor unit at a site where the suction side may be exposed directly to wind. 3) To prevent exposure to wind, it is recommended to install a baffle plate on the air discharge side of the outdoor unit. 4) In heavy snowfall areas, select an installation site where the snow will not affect the unit.
Construct a large canopy. Construct a pedestal.
Install the unit high enough off the ground to prevent burying in snow.
CAUTION
1) Do not connect the embedded branch piping and the outdoor unit when only carrying out piping work without connecting the indoor unit in order to add another indoor unit later. Make sure no dirt or moisture gets into either side of the embedded branch piping. See 7 Refrigerant Piping Work in Refrigerant Piping Work (3) for details. 2) It is impossible to connect the indoor unit for one room only. Be sure to connect at least 2 rooms.
Cut thermal insulation pipe to an appropriate length and wrap it with tape, making sure that no gap is left in the insulation pipes cut line. Caulk pipe hole gap with putty.
Wrap the insulation pipe with the finishing tape from bottom to top. Allow 11-13/16 inch of work space below the ceiling surface. Allow space for piping and electrical servicing. If there is the danger of the unit falling or overturning, fix the unit with foundation bolts, or with wire or other means. If the location does not have good drainage, place the unit on a level mounting base (or a plastic pedestal). Install the outdoor unit in a level position. Failure to do so may result in water leakage or accumulation.

3. Connect vinyl hose on the market (internal diameter of 1 inch) to drain socket (A). (If the house is too long and hangs down, fix it carefully to prevent the kinks.)
4. Make sure that there is no water leakage from portion I, II, or III.
NOTE
If the drain holes of the outdoor unit are covered with the mounting bracket or the floor, raise the unit to provide the space of more than 3-15/16 inch under the leg of the outdoor unit.
3 Refrigerant Piping
CAUTION
1) Use the flare nut fixed to the main unit to prevent cracking and age deterioration. 2) To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil only to the inner surface of the flare. (Use refrigeration oil for R410A.) 3) Use torque wrenches when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the flare nuts and gas leakage. Align the centers of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by hand. Then tighten them fully with the torque wrenches.

WARNING
1) Do not mix any substance other than the specified refrigerant (R410A) into the refrigeration cycle. 2) When refrigerant gas leaks occur, ventilate the room as soon and as much as possible. 3) R410A, as well as other refrigerants, should always be recovered and never be released directly into the environment. 4) Use a vacuum pump for R410A exclusively. Using the same vacuum pump for different refrigerants may damage the vacuum pump or the unit. If using additional refrigerant, perform air purging from the refrigerant pipes and indoor unit using a vacuum pump, then charge additional refrigerant. Use a hexagonal wrench (3/16) to operate the stop valve rod. All refrigerant pipe joints should be tightened with a torque wrench at the specified tightening torque. 1) Connect projection side of charging hose (which comes from gauge manifold) to gas stop valves service port. 2) Fully open gauge manifolds low-pressure valve (Lo) and completely close its high-pressure valve (Hi). (High-pressure valve subsequently requires no operation.) 3) Apply vacuum pumping. Check that the compound pressure gauge reads 29.9in Hg. Evacuation for at least 1 hour is recommended. 4) Close gauge manifolds low-pressure valve (Lo) and stop vacuum pump. (Leave as is for 4-5 minutes and make sure the coupling meter needle does not go back. If it does go back, this may indicate the presence of moisture or leaking from connecting parts. After inspecting all the connection and loosening then retightening the nuts, repeat steps 2-4.) 5) Remove covers from liquid stop value and gas stop valve. 6) Turn the liquid stop valves rod 90 degrees counterclockwise with a hexagonal wrench to open valve. Close it after 5 seconds, and check for gas leakage. Using soapy water, check for gas leakage from indoor units flare and outdoor units flare and valve rods. After the check is complete, wipe all soapy water off. 7) Disconnect charging hose from gas stop valves service port, then fully open liquid and gas stop valves. (Do not attempt to turn valve rod beyond its stop.) 8) Tighten valve caps and service port caps for the liquid and gas stop valves with a torque wrench at the specified torques. See 3 Refrigerant Piping in Refrigerant Piping Work (1) for details.
2) Be sure to use the R410A tools to ensure pressure and to prevent foreign objects entering.
CAUTION
Even though the stop valve is fully closed, the refrigerant may slowly leak out; do not leave the flare nut removed for a long period of time.
Be sure to place a cap. If no flare cap is available, cover the flare mouth with tape to keep dirt or water out.

Wiring (1)
WARNING
1) Do not use spliced wires, stranded wires (CAUTION (1)), extension cords, or starburst connections, as they may cause overheating, electrical shock, or fire. Follow all local, and state electrical codes. 2) Do not use locally purchased electrical parts inside the product. (Do not branch the power for the drain pump, etc., from the terminal block.) Doing so may cause electric shock or fire. 3) Be sure to install a ground leak detector. (One that can handle higher harmonics.) (This unit uses an inverter, which means that it must be used a ground leak detector capable handling harmonics in order to prevent malfunctioning of the ground leak detector itself.) 4) Use an all-pole disconnection type breaker with at least 1/8 between the contact point gaps. 5) When carrying out wiring connection, take care not to pull at the conduit. 6) Do not connect the power wire to the indoor unit. Doing so may cause electric shock or fire. <Method of Mounting Conduit> 1) Pass wires through the conduit and secure them with a lock nut. 2) When connecting indoor units for three rooms or more, open knockout holes without deforming the conduit mounting plate. By removing the two screws to remove the conduit mounting plate, you can work without the plate. After completing the work, reattach the conduit mounting plate to its original position. <Work before wiring> A protection plate is fixed for protection from the high-voltage section. Before starting wiring work, remove the two screws and the protection plate. After completing wiring, fix the protection plate to its original position.

ATTENTION
Have the customer actually operate the unit while looking at the manual included with the indoor unit. Instruct the customer how to operate the unit correctly (particularly cleaning of the air filters, operation procedures, and temperature adjustment). Even when the air conditioner is not operating, it consumes some electric power. If the customer is not going to use the unit soon after it is installed, turn OFF the breaker to avoid wasting electricity. If additional refrigerant has been charged because of long piping, list the amount added on the nameplate on the reverse side of the stop valve cover.
