After completing installation work, make sure that
refrigerant gas is notleaking.
If the refrigerant gas leaks and is exposed to a fan heater,
stove, oven, or other heat source, it may generate noxious
gases.
Children should not be allowed around the air
conditioning equipment
The installer and system specialist shall ensure there
is no refrigerant leakage according to local regulations
and standards.
Pay special attention to the location the unit is installed
in. Refrigerant is heavier than air so locations such
as basements or crawlspaces where refrigerant can
accumulate can become dangerous.
The appliance is intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not use refrigerant other than the type indicated
in the manuals provided with the unit and on the
nameplate.
Doing so may cause the unit or pipes to burst, or result in
disposal of the unit.
It may also be in violation of applicable laws.
MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION cannot be held
responsible for malfunctions or accidents resulting for the
use of the wrong type of refrigerant.
3.2. Precautions for devices that use R410A
refrigerant
Caution:
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
The old refrigerant and refrigeration oil in the existing
piping contains a large amount of chlorine which may
cause the refrigerator oil of the new unit to deteriorate.
Use refrigerant piping made of C1220 (Cu-DHP)
H3300 "Copper and copper alloy seamless pipes and
tubes". In addition, be sure that the inner and outer
surfaces of the pipes are clean and free of hazardous
sulphur, oxides, dust/dirt, shaving particles, oils,
moisture, or any other contaminants.
Contaminants on the inside of the refrigerant piping may
cause the refrigerant residual oil to deteriorate
Store the piping to be used during installation indoors
and keep both ends of the piping sealed until just
before brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in a
plastic bag.)
If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle,
deterioration of the oil and compressor trouble may result.
If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the
composition of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change
and performance may drop.
Do not use a refrigerant other than R410A.
If another refrigerant is used, the chlorine in the refrigerant
may cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
cycle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Do not use the following tools that are used with
conventional refrigerants.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse
refrigerant recovery equipment).
If the conventional refrigerant and refrigeration oil are mixed
in the R410A, the refrigerant may deteriorate.
If water is mixed in the R410A, the refrigeration oil may
deteriorate.
Since R410A does not contain any chlorine, gas leak
detectors for conventional refrigerant will not react to it.
Do not use a charging cylinder. May cause the refrigerant to
deteriorate.
Be especially careful when managing the tools.
If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigeration system, the
refrigerant may deteriorate.
3.3. Before getting started
Caution:
Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an
explosion may result.
Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.
the performance of the air conditioner or damage its parts
When installing the unit in a hospital, communication
against noise.
The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-
frequency medical equipment, or radio communication
equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate
erroneously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the air
conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise
that disturbs medical treatment of image broadcasting.
Do not install the unit on a structure that may cause
leakage.
When the room humidity exceeds 80% or when the drain
pipe is clogged, condensation may drip from the indoor
unit. Perform collective drainage work together with the
outdoor unit, as required.
When the ambient dew point temperature exceeds
75 °F (24 °C), dew condensation may occur on the unit
surface. Perform appropriate treatment to avoid dew
condensation.
3.4. Before getting installed (moved)-electrical work
Caution:
Ground the unit.
Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes,
lightning rods, or telephone ground lines. Improper
grounding may result in electric shock.
Install the power cable so that tension is not applied to
the cable.
Tension may cause the cable to break and generate heat
Install a leak circuit breaker as required.
If a leak circuit breaker is not installed, electric shock may
result.

Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and
