This symbol denotes item that is PROHIBITTED from doing.

1.

Engage dealer or specialist for installation and servicing. If installation or servicing done by the user is defective, it will cause water leakage, 
electrical shock or fire.

2.

Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage, electric shock or fire. 

3.

Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation and servicing. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, water leakage, fire 
or electrical shock.

4.

Install at a strong and firm location which is able to withstand the set’s weight. If the strength is not enough or installation is not properly done, 
the set will drop and cause injury.

5.

For electrical work, follow the local national wiring standard, regulation and the installation instruction. An independent circuit and single outlet 
must be used. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or defect found in electrical work, it will cause electrical shock or fire.

6.

This equipment is strongly recommended to install with Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Device (RCD).
Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock and fire in case equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.

7.

Use the specified cable and connect tightly for indoor/outdoor connection. Connect tightly and clamp the cable so that no external force will be 
acted on the terminal. If connection or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat-up or fire at the connection.

8.

Wire routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is fixed properly. If control board cover is not fixed perfectly, it will cause 
heat-up or fire at the connection point of terminal, fire or electrical shock. 

9.

When carrying out piping connection, take care not to let air substances other than the specified refrigerant go into refrigeration cycle.        
Otherwise, it will cause lower capacity, abnormal high pressure in the refrigeration cycle, explosive and injury. 

10. Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-conditioner unit at veranda of high rise building, child may climb up to 

outdoor unit and cross over the handrail and causing accident.
