PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

DANGER

• Do not install, repair, open or remove the cover. It may expose you to dangerous voltages. Ask trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics to do this.

• Turning off the power supply will not prevent potential electric shock.

• The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulation.

• Means for disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least 1/8 in. (3 mm) in all poles must be incorporated in the ﬁ xed wiring.

WARNING

• Do not expose your body directly to cool air for a long time.

• Do not insert your ﬁ nger or any article into the air inlet/outlet.

• When an abnormality (burning smell, etc.) occurs, stop the air conditioner and turn off the circuit breaker.

• Installation must be requested from trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics. Installation requires special knowledge and skill. If customers install on their own, it can be a cause of ﬁ re, electric shock, injury or water leakage.

• Do not select a location for installation where ﬂ ammable gas may leak. If there is any gas leakage or accumulation around the unit, it can be a cause of ﬁ re.

• Do not turn ON/OFF the circuit breaker or operate buttons with a wet hand. It may be a cause of electric shock.

• Do not disassemble, modify or relocate the unit by yourself. It may become the cause of ﬁ re, electric shock, or water leakage. For repair or relocation, please request service from trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics.

• Do not select a location for installation where there may be excessive water or humidity, such as a bathroom. Deterioration of insulation may be a cause of electric shock or ﬁ re.

• When relocating or repairing the unit, please contact trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics. When there is a kink in the wiring, it may be the cause of electric shock or ﬁ re.

• During an error (such as a burning odor, not cooling, or not warming), stop operating the unit and turn off the circuit breaker. Continuous operation may be a cause of ﬁ re, or electric shock. Please request repair or service from trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics.

• Earth work should be requested from trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics. Insufﬁ cient grounding work may be the cause of electric shock. Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning conductor, or telephone earth wire.

• If the indoor unit piping outlet is exposed due to relocation, close the opening. Touching internal electrical parts may cause injury or electric shock.

• Do not insert any material (metal, paper, or water, etc) into the air outlet or air intake opening. Fan may be rotating at high speed inside or there are high voltage sections, which may cause an injury or electric shock.

• You must use a independent power outlet for the power supply. If a power outlet other than the independent outlet is used, it may cause a ﬁ re.

• When the air-conditioning unit does not cool or warm, there may be a leakage of refrigerant. Please consult trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics. The refrigerant used in the air-conditioning unit is safe. It will not leak under normal operating conditions but if it leaks into the room and contacts a heat source such as a heater, or stove, it may cause a harmful reaction.

• When water or other foreign substances enter the internal parts, stop operating the unit immediately and turn off the circuit breaker. Operating the unit continuously may cause ﬁ re or electric shock. Please contact trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics for repair.

• Do not clean the inside of the air-conditioning unit yourself. Please request internal cleaning of the air-conditioning unit from trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics. Incorrect cleaning may cause breakage of resin parts or insulation defects of electrical parts, causing water leakage, electric shock or ﬁ re.

• Do not damage or modify the power cable. Do not connect the cable midway, or use a multiple outlet extension cord that is shared by other devices. Failure to do so may cause ﬁ re.

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable, expose it to heat, or pull it. To do so may cause electrical shock or

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

ﬁ re.

CAUTION

• Check that the circuit breaker is installed correctly. If the circuit breaker is not properly installed, it may cause an electric shock. To check the installation method, please contact trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics.

• When using the unit in a closed room, or operating with other combustion appliances, make sure to open a window occasionally for ventilation. Insufﬁ cient ventilation may cause suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.

• Avoid operating for long periods in a high humidity environment (over 80%) such as with the windows or doors open. There may be condensation on the indoor unit and droplets may fall onto the furniture.

• When the unit won’t be used for a long time, turn off the main switch or the circuit breaker.

• It is recommended that maintenance be performed by trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics when the unit has been operated for a long time.

• At least once a year check if the mounting table of the outdoor unit is damaged or not. If a damaged state is ignored, the unit may fall or overturn, causing an injury.

• Stand on a sturdy ladder when attaching/detaching the front panel/air ﬁ lter/air cleaning ﬁ lter. Failure to do so may cause a fall or injury.

• Do not stand on the outdoor unit or place anything on the unit. It may be the cause of injury due to falling or over-turning. Any damage to the unit may cause an electric shock or ﬁ re.

• Do not use combustion appliances in the direct ﬂ ow of the air from the air- conditioning unit. Poor combustion of a combustion appliance may cause suffocation.

• Do not place anything around the outdoor unit or allow fallen leaves to accumulate around it. If there are fallen leaves, small animals could enter and contact internal electrical parts, causing a failure or ﬁ re.

• Do not place animals and plants in places where wind from the airconditioning unit ﬂ ows directly. It may have a negative inﬂ uence on the animal or plant.

• Ensure that drained water is discharged. When the discharging water process is not sufﬁ cient, water may leak, causing water damage to furniture. To check that the installation method used is correct, please contact the supplying retail dealership or the professional vendor who installed the unit.

• Do not place any containers such as a vase containing ﬂ uid on the unit. It might cause water to enter the unit and deteriorate the electrical insulation, causing an electric shock.

• Do not use it as special applications such as storage of food or animals, or to display plants, precision devices, or art objects. Do not use on ships or in other vehicles. It may cause a failure in the air-conditioning unit. In addition, it may damage these items.

• Do not place other electrical appliances or furniture under the unit. Water droplets might fall, causing damage or failure.

• When cleaning ﬁ lters, you must stop operating the unit and turn off the circuit breaker. Since the fan inside may be rotating at high speed, it may cause an injury.

• Do not wash the main air-conditioning unit with water. It may cause an electric shock.

• After the front panel/air ﬁ lter is cleaned, wipe away any water and allow to dry. If water remains, it may cause an electric shock.

• Once the front panel is removed, do not touch the metal parts of the unit. It may cause an injury.

• Do not touch the air intake section or the aluminum ﬁ ns of the unit. It may cause injury.

• When you hear thunder and there might be a lightning strike, stop operating the unit and disconnect the circuit breaker. If lightning strikes, it may cause a failure.

• Batteries for remote control unit:

- Should be inserted with correct polarity (+) and (-).

- Should not be recharged.

- Do not use batteries for which the “Recommended usage period” has

expired.

- Do not keep used batteries inside the remote control unit.

- Do not mix different types of batteries, or mix new batteries with old ones.

- Do not directly solder the batteries.

- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat, or throw batteries into a fire. If

batteries are not disposed of correctly, they may burst or be the cause of fluid leakage, resulting in burns or injuries. If touching the fluid, wash thoroughly with water. If it touches devices, wipe off to avoid direct contact.

- Do not place within reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed,

consult a doctor immediately.
