Keep this document close to the place where the appliance is installed.
Precautions
All work on the refrigeration circuit must be done by a qualified professional, according to prevailing co-
des of practice and safety in the profession (recovery of the refrigerant, brazing under nitrogen).
By qualified professional, we mean a person who has the qualifications pertaining to this refrigerant han-
dling and piping work as stipulated by the local laws and regulations, and who has been trained in mat-
ters relating to refrigerant handling and piping work on the indoor unit and outdoor unit.
Before any work, switch off the power supply to the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. Wait for approx.
20-30 seconds for the outdoor unit capacitors to be discharged, and check that the lights on the outdoor
unit PCBs have gone out.

Use only original spare parts.
1.2
Installation location
Keep the indoor unit and outdoor unit accessible at all times.
Precautions
If you install the indoor unit in a small room, take appropriate measures (ventilation) to prevent the refrig-
erant from exceeding the concentration limit even if it leaks. Consult the Installation chapter when you
implement the measures.
Accumulation of highly concentrated refrigerant may cause an oxygen deficiency accident.
Install the indoor unit and outdoor unit on a solid, stable structure able to bear its weight.
Install the indoor unit in a frost-free location.
Do not install the indoor unit in a location where it is directly exposed to sunlight.
Do not install the indoor unit in a location that may be subject to a risk of exposure to combustible gas. If
there is a combustible gas leak and the gas becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.
Do not install the air conditioner in a place that has an atmosphere with a high salt content or in any cor-
rosive environment.
Do not install the air conditioner in a place exposed to steam and combustion gases.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a place where it may be covered in snow.
