1.4 IMPORTANT NOTICE
This air conditioner has been designed for standard air conditioning for
human beings. For use in other applications, please contact your
HITACHI dealer or service contractor.
The air conditioning system should only be installed by qualified
personnel, with the necessary resources, tools and equipment, who are
familiar with the safety procedures required to successfully carry out
the installation.
Places where oil is present (including oil for machinery).
Places with a high concentration of sulphurous gas, such as spas.
Places where flammable gases may be generated or circulate
Places with a saline, acidic or alkaline atmosphere.
Do not install the unit in places where silicon gas is present. Any silicon
gas deposited on the surface of the heat exchanger will repel water. As a
result, the condensate water will splash out of the collection tray and into
the electrical box. Water leaks or electrical faults may eventually be
caused.
Do not install the unit in a place where the current of expelled air
directly affects animals or plants as they could be adversely affected.

tions relating directly to your safety and physical wellbeing.

• Do not install the indoor units outdoors. If installed outdoors, an
electric hazard or electric leakage will occur.
• Consider the air distribution from each indoor unit to the space
of the room, and select a suitable location so that uniform air
temperature in the room can be obtained. The unit must not be
installed below 2.5 metres from the floor level, with a recom-
mended installation height between 2.5 and 3 metres from the
floor level. If the unit is installed higher than 3 meters, it is also
recommended that a fan be utilised to obtain uniform air tem-
perature in the room.
• Avoid obstacles which may hamper the air intake or the air dis-
charge flow.
• Pay attention to the following points when the indoor units are
installed in a hospital or other places where there are electronic
waves from medical equipment, etc.
• Do not install the indoor units where electromagnetic wave is
directly radiated to the electrical box, remote control cable or
remote control switch.
• Prepare a steel box and install the remote control switch in it.
Prepare a steel conduit tube and wire the remote control cable in
it. Then connect the ground wire with the box and tube.
• Install a noise filter when the power supply emits harmful noises.
• Not taking these instructions into account could lead to serious,
very serious or even fatal injuries to you and others in the prox-
imities of the unit.
• This unit is exclusive non electrical heater type indoor unit. It is
prohibited to install a electrical heater in the field.
