WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The refrigerant inside this unit is mildly flammable.
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.

3.1 Indoor unit

CAUTION
Do NOT insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet or outlet. When the fan is rotating at high speed, it will cause injury.
3 | About the system
INFORMATION
The sound pressure level is less than 70dBA.
WARNING
Do not modify, disassemble, remove, reinstall or repair the unit yourself as
incorrect dismantling or installation may cause an electric shock or fire. Contact your dealer.
In case of accidental refrigerant leaks, make sure there are no naked flames. The
refrigerant itself is entirely safe, non-toxic and mildly flammable, but it will generate toxic gas when it accidentally leaks into a room where combustible air from fan heaters, gas cookers, etc. is present. Always have qualified service personnel confirm that the point of leakage has been repaired or corrected before resuming operation.
INFORMATION
The following figures are just examples and may NOT completely match your system layout.
