PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

DANGER

• Do not install, repair, open or remove a unit access 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 must be installed in accordance with national and local wiring regulation.

WARNING

• In case an abnormality occurs, stop the air conditioner and turn off the circuit breaker. Continuous operation may cause ﬁ re or electric shock.

• Installation, relocation, repair and service of the unit require special knowledge and skills. These services must me requested from trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics. Improper installation may cause ﬁ re, electric shock, injury or water leakage.

• Do not install the unit where ﬂ ammable gas may leak. Gas leakage or accumulation around the unit, can cause ﬁ re.

• Do not turn ON/OFF the circuit breaker or operate buttons with wet hands. This may cause electric shock.

• Do not install the unit where there may be excessive water or humidity, such as a bathroom. This may cause deterioration of insulation, which may be a cause of electric shock or ﬁ re.

• A kink in the wiring could cause electric shock or ﬁ re.

• Do not connect ground wires to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning conductor, or telephone earth wire. Improper grounding may be the cause of electric shock.

• 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 your ﬁ nger or any article or substance (metal, paper, or water, etc) into the air outlet or air intake openings. Fan may be rotating at high speed inside, or there may be high voltage components, which may cause an injury or electric shock.

• You must use an independent power supply for the unit. Over heating or ﬁ re may be caused, otherwise.

• When the air-conditioning unit does not cool or heat, 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 internal parts of the unit, stop operating the unit immediately and turn off the circuit breaker. Operating the unit continuously with the foreign substance may cause ﬁ re or electric shock. Please contact trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics for repair.

• Request internal cleaning of the air-conditioning unit from trained, qualiﬁ ed installers and service mechanics. Improper cleaning may cause breakage of resin parts or insulation and/or damage 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. Doing so may cause electrical shock or ﬁ re.

• 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 air conditioning units.

CAUTION

• If the unit is installed in a closed room, or if it is operating near other combustion appliances, make sure to allow for proper ventilation per national and local codes. Insufﬁ cient ventilation may cause suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

• Avoid operating the unit for long periods in a high humidity environment (over 80%) and/or with windows or doors open. This may cause condensation on the indoor unit and droplets may fall into living space.

• 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 at least once per year.

• 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 top of it. Injury due to falling or over-turning may be provoked. Also, any damage to the unit may cause an electric shock or ﬁ re.

• Do not place combustion appliances in front of 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 ﬁ re, or the unit to fail. This could also have negative inﬂ uence on animals and plants.

• Ensure that drained water is discharged. When the discharging water process is improper, 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 installer who installed the unit.

• Do not place any containers such as a vase containing ﬂ uid on the unit. If ﬂ uid falls into the unit, deterioration of electrical insulation may occur, which may cause 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. It may cause a failure in the air-conditioning unit. In addition, it may damage these items. Do not use on ships or in other vehicles.

• 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. Failure to do so may cause an injury since the fan inside may be rotating at high speed.

• 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. This may cause injury.

• When you hear thunder stop operating the unit and disconnect the circuit breaker. If lightning strikes, it may cause damage to the unit.

• 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 expired 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 correctly, they may burst or be the cause of fluid leakage, resulting in burns or injuries. If you come in contact with the leaking 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.
