WARNING
Ask an authorized dealer or qualified installation professional to
install/maintain the air conditioner.
Inappropriate installation may result in water leakage,electric shock
or fire.
Turn off the main power supply switch or breaker before
attempting any electrical work.
Make sure all power switches are off.Failure to do so may cause
electric shock.
Connect the connecting cable correctly.
If the connecting cable is connected in a wrong way, electric parts
