English Safety precautions
WARNING
This appliance is filled with R32
 
(mild flammable refrigerant). 
If the refrigerant is leaked and 
exposed to an external ignition 
source, there is a risk of fire.
Indoor unit and outdoor unit
The appliance shall be installed, 
and/or operated in a room with floor 
area larger than Amin (m²) and 
keep away from ignition sources, 
such as heat/sparks/open flame 
or hazardous areas such as gas 
appliances, gas cooking, reticulated 
gas supply systems or electric 
cooking appliances, etc. (Refer to 
Table A of Installation instructions 
table for Amin (m²))
Be aware that refrigerant may 
not contain an odour, highly 
recommended to ensure suitable 
flammable refrigerant gas detectors 
are present, operating and able to 
warn of a leak.
Keep any required ventilation 
openings clear of obstruction.
Do not pierce or burn as the 
appliance is pressurized. Do not 
expose the appliance to heat, flame, 
sparks, or other sources of ignition. 
Else it may explode and cause injury 
or death.
Precaution for using R32 
refrigerant
The basic installation work procedures 
are the same as conventional refrigerant 
(R410A, R22) models.
Since the working pressure is 
higher than that of refrigerant R22 
models, some of the piping and 
installation and service tools are 
special. Especially, when replacing 
a refrigerant R22 model with a 
new refrigerant R32 model, always 
replace the conventional piping and 
flare nuts with the R32 and R410A 
piping and flare nuts on the outdoor 
unit side. 
For R32 and R410A, the same flare 
nut on the outdoor unit side and pipe 
can be used.
The mixing of different refrigerants 
within a system is prohibited. Models 
that use refrigerant R32 and R410A 
have a different charging port thread 
diameter to prevent erroneous 
charging with refrigerant R22 and for 
safety. 
Therefore, check beforehand. [The 
charging port thread diameter for 
R32 and R410A is 1/2 inch.]
Must always ensure that foreign 
matter (oil, water, etc.) does not 
enter the piping. Also, when storing 
the piping, securely seal the opening 
by pinching, taping, etc. (Handling of 
R32 is similar to R410A.)
• 
Operation, maintenance, repairing 
and refrigerant recovery should be 
carried out by trained and certified 
personnel in the use of flammable 
refrigerants and as recommended 
by the manufacturer. Any personnel 
conducting an operation, servicing 
or maintenance on a system or 
associated parts of the equipment 
should be trained and certified.
