also the installation manual attached to the optional
parts.>>
For installation, use the attached installation parts and
specified parts.

After the test operation is completed, check the items
mentioned in 2. BEFORE INSTALLATION (2) Items to
be checked at time of delivery on page 2.
If the interior finish work is not completed when the test
operation is finished, for protection of the air conditioner,
ask the customer not to operate the air conditioner until
the interior finish work is completed.
If the air conditioner is operated, the inside of the indoor
unit may be polluted by substances generated from the
coating and adhesives used for the interior finish work
and cause water splash and leakage.
