Safety precautions FOR INSTALLATION WARNING Make sure to connect wires thoroughly and fix them firmly so that no outer pressure of the wires would put on the terminal block. If the terminal is loose, it may generate heat and cause a fire. Supplied power should be more or less than 2% of the rated power.
Mesures de sécurité Les renseignements sur la sécurité et les précautions ci-dessous doivent être conservés pour garantir la sécurité des utilisateurs et des installateurs. Avant d'installer un climatiseur, veuillez lire attentivement ce manuel pour vous assurer que vous savez comment installer efficacement et en toute sécurité...

Safety precautions Mesures de sécurité MONTAGE AVERTISSEMENT Veillez à bien serrer les fils et à les fixer fermement afin qu'aucune pression extérieure sur les câbles ne puisse provoquer une traction sur le bornier. Si une cosse est mal serrée, cela peut générer de la chaleur et provoquer un incendie. L'alimentation électrique fournie peut être supérieure ou inférieure de 2 % par rapport à...

3. Preparation before installation. 1) Place the pattern sheet on the ceiling at the spot where you want to install the indoor unit. • Since the diagram is made of paper, it may shrink or stretch slightly due to temperature or humidity. For this reason, before drilling the NOTE holes maintain the correct dimensions between the markings.

Refrigerant piping Pipe insulating instructions and cautions Make sure to check for gas leakage before completing the installation (hose and pipe insulation) and insulate hoses and pipes when there is no sign of leakage. 1. To avoid condensation problems, place T13.0 (1/2") or thicker Acrylonitrile No gap Butadien Rubber separately around each refrigerant pipe.
