• Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the base can sustain the weight of the unit
adequately.
• Perform the specified installation work to guard against an earthquake.
If the air conditioner is not installed appropriately, accidents may occur due to the unit falling.
• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gases may be generated.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gases maybe
generated.
• Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Installation
Manual. Ensure the power supply to the air conditioner is exclusive to that unit only.
An insufficient power supply capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.
• Use only the specified wiring during the unit installation. Ensure that all terminals are securely fixed,
so preventing any external forces having a negative effect on the terminals.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric authority when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause an electric shock.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location that maybe subjected to a risk of exposure to a
combustible gas.
If a combustible gas leaks and becomes concentrated around the unit, a fire may occur.

SELECTION OF INSTALLATION PLACE
WARNING
• The air conditioner must be installed in a location that can support the weight of the unit effectively.
If the unit is not installed on a foundation that can support its weight effectively, the unit may fall down, resulting in
possible human injury.
• Where required ensure that the units installation is sufficient enough to withstand against an earthquake.
An insufficient installation could result in the unit falling, causing possible human injury.
• Install the air conditioner at a minimum height of 2.5 m from the floor.
Do not insert your hands or others into the unit while the air conditioner is operating.
CAUTION
Upon approval from the customer, install the air conditioner in a place that satisfies the following
conditions.
• A place where the unit can be installed horizontally.
• A place where a sufficient servicing space can be maintained for safety maintenance and unit check.
• A place where the drain water can be exited from the unit, without causing a problem.
Avoid installing in the following places.
• Places exposed to air with a high salt content (seaside area), or places exposed to large quantities of sulfide gas
(hot spring). (Should the unit be used in these places, special protective measures are needed.)
• Places exposed to oil, vapor, oil smoke or corrosive gas.
• Places where organic solvent is used nearby.
• Places close to a machine generating high frequency.
• Places where the discharged air blows directly into the window of the neighbouring house. (For outdoor unit)
• Places where the noise from the outdoor unit can be easily transmitted to the neighboring property.
(When installing the air conditioner on the boundary with a neighbour, pay due attention to the level of noise.)
• Places with poor ventilation.
