INFORMATION
▪ Even if the unit is turned OFF, it consumes electricity.
▪ When the power turns back on after a power break, the
previously selected mode will be resumed.
CAUTION
NEVER expose little children, plants or animals directly to
the airflow.
WARNING
Do NOT place objects below the indoor and/or outdoor unit
that may get wet. In this condition, condensation on the
main unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage
may cause dripping. This results in fouling or failure of the
object which is located beneath the unit.
NOTICE
Do NOT use the system for other purposes. In order to
avoid any quality deterioration, do NOT use the unit for
cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals, or
works of art.
CAUTION
Do NOT operate the system when using a room
fumigation-type insecticide. Chemicals could collect in the
unit, and endanger the health of people who are
hypersensitive to chemicals.
WARNING
Do NOT place a flammable spray bottle near the air
conditioner and do NOT use sprays. Doing so may result in
a fire.
Observe the following precautions to ensure the system operates
properly.
▪ Prevent direct sunlight from entering a room during cooling
operation by using curtains or blinds.
▪ Ventilate often. Extended use requires special attention to
ventilation.
▪ Keep doors and windows closed. If the doors and windows remain
open, air will flow out of your room causing a decrease in the
cooling or heating effect.
▪ Be careful NOT to cool or heat too much. To save energy, keep
the temperature setting at a moderate level.
▪ NEVER place objects near the air inlet or the air outlet of the unit.
Doing so may cause a reduced heating/cooling effect or stop
operation.
▪ Turn off the main power supply switch to the unit when the unit is
NOT used for longer periods of time. If the main power supply
switch is on, the unit consumes electricity. Before restarting the
unit, turn on the main power supply switch 6 hours before
operation to ensure smooth running.
▪ Condensation may form if the humidity is above 80% or if the
drain outlet gets blocked.
▪ Adjust the room temperature properly for a comfortable
environment. Avoid excessive heating or cooling. Notice that it
may take some time for the room temperature to reach the set
temperature. Consider using the timer setting options.
▪ Adjust the air flow direction to avoid cool air from gathering on the
floor or warm air against the ceiling. (Up during cooling or dry
operation to the ceiling and down during heating operation.)
▪ Avoid direct air flow to room inhabitants.
▪ Operate the system within the recommended temperature range
(26~28°C for cooling and 20~24°C for heating) to save energy.
7 Maintenance and service

The installer has to perform a yearly maintenance.
About the refrigerant
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent
gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R32
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675
NOTICE
In Europe, the greenhouse gas emissions of the total
refrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes
CO2-equivalent) is used to determine the maintenance
intervals. Follow the applicable legislation.
Formula to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions:
GWP value of the refrigerant × Total refrigerant charge [in
kg] / 1000
Please contact your installer for more information.
WARNING
The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable, but
normally does NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the
room and comes in contact with fire from a burner, a
heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire, or the formation
of a harmful gas.
Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate the
room, and contact the dealer where you purchased the
unit.
Do NOT use the unit until a service person confirms that
the part from which the refrigerant leaked has been
repaired.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.
▪ Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to accelerate
the defrosting process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system is
odourless.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored in a room without
continuously operating ignition sources (example: open
flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric
heater).
NOTICE
Maintenance MUST be done by an authorized installer or
service agent.
We recommend performing maintenance at least once a
year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter
maintenance intervals.
