• Install the air conditioner securely in a location where the base can sustain the weight 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 falling unit.
• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may generate.
• 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 gas might
generate.
• Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Installation
Manual. Make sure the air conditioner uses an exclusive power supply.
An insufficient power supply capacity or inappropriate installation may cause fire.
• Use the specified wires for wiring connect the terminals securely fix. To prevent external forces
applied to the terminals from affecting the terminals.
• Conform to the regulations of the local electric company when wiring the power supply.
Inappropriate grounding may cause electric shock.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location subject to a risk of exposure to a combustible gas.
If a combustible gas leaks, and stays around the unit, a fire may occur.

SELECTION OF INSTALLATION PLACE
WARNING
• Install the air conditioner where there is sufficient strength to weight of the unit.
If strength is insufficient, the unit may fall down resulting in human injury.
• Perform a specified installation work to guard against an earth quake.
An incomplete installation can cause accidents by the units failing and dropping.
CAUTION
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location subject to a risk of exposure to combustible gas.
Should the combustible gas leak and collect near the unit, fire may occur.
Upon approval of the customer, install the air conditioner in a place that satisfies the following
conditions.
• Place where the unit can be installed horizontally.
• Place where a sufficient servicing space can be ensured for safe maintenance and check.
• Place where drained water will not cause any problem.
Avoid installing in the following places.
• Place exposed to air with high salt content (seaside area), or place exposed to large quantities of sulfide gas
(hot spring). (Should the unit be used in these places, special protective measures are needed.)
• Place exposed to oil, vapor, oil smoke or corrosive gas.
• Place where organic solvent is used nearby.
• Place close to a machine generating high frequency.
• Place near door or window where may come to contact with the outside air of high humidity. (Dewing may be caused.)
• Place where special spray is frequently used.
• Place with poor ventilation.
