Panasonic Introduction 1. Introduction Safety Cautions Cautions and Be sure to read the following safety cautions before conducting repair work. The caution items are classified into “ Warning” and “ Caution”. The “ Warning” Warnings items are especially important since they can lead to death or serious injury if they are not followed closely.
Page 8
Urban Multi ML5 · Mini UM · Heat Pump Introduction Caution Do not repair the electrical components with wet hands. Working on the equipment with wet hands can cause an electrical shock. Do not clean the air conditioner by splashing water. Washing the unit with water can cause an electrical shock.
Page 9
Panasonic Introduction Warning Be sure to use the specified cable to connect between the indoor and outdoor units. Make the connections securely and route the cable properly so that there is no force pulling the cable at the connection terminals.
Page 10
Urban Multi ML5 · Mini UM · Heat Pump Introduction Caution Check to see if the parts and wires are mounted and connected properly, and if the connections at the soldered or crimped terminals are secure. Improper installation and connections can cause excessive heat generation, fire or an electrical shock.
