 Safety precautions

Pay careful attention to the following 

points when operating the appliances 

and dealing with different refrigerants.

The appliance shall be installed, 

and/or operated in a room with 

fl oor area larger than Amin (m²) 

and keep away from ignition 

sources, such as heat/sparks/

open fl ame or hazardous areas 

such as gas appliances, gas 

cooking, reticulated gas supply 

systems or electric cooking 

appliances, etc. (Refer to Table 

A of Installation instructions table 

for Amin (m²))
Be aware that refrigerant may 

not contain an odour, highly 

recommended to ensure suitable 

fl ammable refrigerant gas 

detectors are present, operating 

and able to warn of a leak.
Since the working pressure is 

higher than that of refrigerant 

R22 models, some of the piping 

and installation and service tools 

are special.

Especially, when replacing a 

refrigerant R22 model with a new 

refrigerant R32 model, always 

replace the conventional piping 

and fl are nuts with the R32 and 

R410A piping and fl are nuts on 

the outdoor unit side.

The R32 fl are nut and pipe on 

the outdoor unit side can also be 

used for a R410A model.

Models that use refrigerant R32 

and R410A have a different 

charging port thread diameter to 

prevent erroneous charging with 

refrigerant R22 and for safety.

Therefore, check before hand. 

[The charging port thread 

diameter for R32 and R410A is 

12.7 mm (1/2 inch).]
Be extra careful so that foreign 

matter (oil, water, etc.) does not 

enter the piping.

Also, when storing the piping, 

securely seal the opening by 

pinching, taping, etc. (Handling 

of R32 is similar to R410A.)

This appliance shall be stored in 

a well ventilated area.

This appliance shall be stored 

in a room without continuously 

operating open fl ames and 

ignition sources.
This appliance shall be stored 

so as to prevent mechanical 

damage from occurring.
Do not use means to accelerate 

the defrosting process or 

to clean, other than those 

recommended by manufacturer. 

Any unfi t method or using 

incompatible material may cause 

product damage, burst and 

serious injury.
Do not pierce or burn as the 

appliance is pressurized. Do not 

expose the appliance to heat, 

fl ame, sparks, or other sources 

of ignition. Else it may explode 

and cause injury or death.
