■ Make certain that all electrical work is carried out by qualified
personnel according to the local laws and regulations and this
Installation & owner's manual, using a separate circuit.
Insufficient capacity of the power supply circuit or improper
electrical construction may lead to electric shocks or fire.
■ Be sure to install a ground fault circuit interrupter according
to local laws and regulations.
Failure to install a ground fault circuit interrupter may cause
electric shocks and fire.
■ Make sure that all wiring is secure, using the specified wires
and ensuring that external forces do not act on the terminal
connections or wires.
Incomplete connection or fixing may cause a fire.
■ When wiring the power supply, form the wires so that the
frontside
panel can be securely fastened.
If the frontside panel is not in place, overheat of the terminals,
electric shocks or a fire may be caused.
■ After completing the installation work, check to make sure
that there is no leakage of refrigerant gas.
■ Never directly touch any accidental leaking refrigerant. This
could result in severe wounds caused by frostbite.
■ Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately
after operation as the refrigerant pipes may be hot or cold,
depending on the condition of the refrigerant flowing through
the refrigerant piping, compressor and other refrigerant cycle
parts. Your hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch
the refrigerant pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes time to
return to normal temperature or,
if you must touch them, be sure to wear proper gloves.
■ Do not touch the internal parts (pump, backup heater, etc.)
during and immediately after operation.
Your hands may suffer burns if you touch the internal parts.
To avoid injury, give the internal parts time to return to normal
temperature or, if you must touch them, be sure to wear proper
gloves.
■ This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
● If an appliance is intender to be permanently connected to
the water mains and not connected by hose-set, this shall
be stated.
■ For use of units in applications with temperature alarm settings it
is advised to foresee a delay of 10 minutes for signalling the alarm
in case the alarm temperature is exceeded. The unit may stop for
several minutes during normal operation for "defrosting of the unit"
or when in "thermostat-stop" operation.
■ Ground the unit.
Grounding resistance should be according to local laws and
regulations
Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water pipes,
lightning conductor or telephone ground wire.
Incomplete grounding may cause electric shocks.
CAUTION
a) Gas pipe.
Ignition or explosion may occur if the gas leaks.
b) Water pipe.
Hard vinyl tubes are not effective grounds.
c) Lightning conductor or telephone ground wire.
Electric potential may rise abnormally if struck by a lightning bolt.
■ Install the power wire at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from
televisions or radios to prevent image interference or noise.
(Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 3 feet (1 meter) may
not be sufficient to eliminate the noise.)
■ Do not rinse the unit. This may cause electric shocks or fire.
the appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring
regulations; If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
■ Do not install the unit in places such as the following:
a) Where there is mist of mineral oil, oil spray or vapour.
Plastic parts may deteriorate, and cause them to fall out or
water to leak.
b) Where corrosive gas, such as sulphurous acid gas, is
produced.
Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause the
refrigerant to leak.
c) Where there is machinery which emits electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system, and
cause malfunction of the equipment.
d) Where flammable gases may leak, where carbon fibre or
ignitable dust is suspended in the air or where volatile
flammables, such as thinner or gasoline, are handled.
Such gases may cause a fire.
e) Where the air contains high levels of salt such as that near the
ocean.
f) Where voltage fluctuates a lot, such as that in factories.
g) In vehicles or vessels.
h) Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present.
