Installation
Ask the installation company about important points of
general instruction.
■
Location
• Avoid installing near machines emitting high
frequency waves.
• Not suitable for chemical plants such as liquefi ed
carbon dioxide refrigerant plants.
• Do not install the air conditioner in locations where
iron or other metal dust is present. If iron or other
metal dust adheres to or collects on the interior of the
air conditioner, it may spontaneously combust and
start a fi re.
• A failure may occur in certain locations such as the
following:
• Areas with large amount of oil droplets (including
machine oil) or vapors.
• Salty areas near oceans, etc.
• Hot springs emitting sulfi dizing gas, etc.
• Heavily acidic or alkaline places.
Special maintenance or parts are required for use
in the above places. For details, contact the dealer
where you purchased the product.
• Leave an enough space around the air intake and
discharge of the outdoor unit so that the ventilation is
not restricted.
• Avoid places where strong wind may blow against
the air intake and discharge of the outdoor unit.
• Attach a snow stand, snow hood, etc. to the outdoor
unit for use in snowfall areas. For details, contact the
dealer where you purchased the product.
• Make sure drain water from the outdoor unit is
emitted into places with good drainage.
• Make sure the air fi lter is attached to the indoor unit.
If not, dust may accumulate on the heat exchanger
or other parts in the air conditioner and cause a
water leak.
• Keep a distance of at least 1 m between the air
conditioner/remote controller and a TV or radio.
Failure to observe this precaution may cause visual
disturbance or noise.
• Leave a distance of at least 1.5 m between the air
discharge and a fi re alarm. If this precaution is not
observed, the alarm may not work properly or detect
fi re in case of fi re.

■
Be careful of operation sounds
• Locate the unit in a place secure enough so that the
sounds and vibrations do not increase.
• If something is placed near the air discharge of the
outdoor unit, noise may increase.
• Be careful not to disturb your neighbors with cool/
warm air or noise coming from the air discharge of
the outdoor unit.

Notes on operations and performance
■
Check before operation
• Turn on the power switch at least 12 hours before
starting operation.
• Make sure the earth wire is securely connected.
• Make sure the air fi lter is attached to the indoor unit.
■
Heating performance
(For heat-pump model only)
• A heat pump system, which gathers outside heat and
emits it into a room, is used for heating. When the
outside air temperature falls, the heating capacity of
the unit is reduced.
• When the outside temperature is low, it is
recommended that you also use other heating
equipment.
■
Defrosting during heating
(For heat-pump model only)
• If frost falls on the outdoor unit during heating,
defrosting is automatically performed (for
approximately 2 - 10 minutes) to increase the heating
effect.
• The fan of the indoor unit is stopped during
defrosting.
■
3-minute protection
The outdoor unit will not operate for approximately 3
minutes after the air conditioner has been immediately
restarted after stopping, or the power switch has been
turned on. This is to protect the system.
■
Power failure
• In the case of a power failure, all operations stop.
• To resume operations, push the ON/OFF button.
■
Fan rotation of a stopped
indoor unit
• While other indoor units operate, the fans on indoor
units in stand-by mode rotate for several minutes
approximately once per one hour to protect the
machines.
■
Protective device
(High pressure switch)
The high pressure switch stops the air conditioner
automatically when excessive load is applied to the air
conditioner.
If the protective device activates, the unit's running
stops and the operation lamp blinks. When the
protective device activates, the
indicator and the
check code are displayed on the remote controller. The
protective device may activate in the following cases:
During cooling
• When the air intake or air discharge of the outdoor
unit is blocked.
• When strong wind blows continuously against the air
discharge of the outdoor unit.
During heating (for heat-pump model only)
• When dust or dirt is excessively adhered to the air
fi lter of the indoor unit.
• When the air discharge of the indoor unit is blocked.
NOTE
• When the protective device activates, turn off the
power switch, remove the cause, and then restart
running.
