READ BEFORE OPERATION
Safety precaution
To gain full advantage of the air conditioner’s functions and to avoid malfunction due to mishandling, we recommend that
you read this instruction manual carefully before use.
This air conditioner is classified under “appliances not accessible to the general public”.
•
The precautions described herein are classified as WARNING and CAUTION. They both contain important information regarding safety. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions properly may result in
personal injury or loss of life.
•
After reading, keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it whenever necessary. If the
equipment is transferred to a new user, be sure also to hand over the manual.
Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in
property damage or personal injury, which may be serious
depending on the circumstances.
CAUTION
WARNING
• Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool
or warm air from the air conditioner, or to air that
is too cool or too warm can be harmful to your
physical condition and health.
• When the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving
off a burning odour, etc.) turn off power to the unit
and contact your local dealer.
Continued operation under such circumstances may
result in a failure, electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Consult your local dealer about installation work.
Doing the work yourself may result in water leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Consult your local dealer regarding modification,
repair and maintenance of the air conditioner.
Improper workmanship may result in water leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers,
etc., in the air inlet or outlet.

conditioner’s highspeed fan blades.
• Never touch the air outlet or the horizontal blades
while the swing flap is in operation.
Fingers may become caught or the unit may break
down.
• Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage.
If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not
generating cool or warm air, refrigerant leakage could
be the cause.
Consult your dealer for assistance.
The refrigerant within the air conditioner is safe and
normally does not leak.
However, in the event of a leakage, contact with a
naked burner, heater or cooker may result in
generation of noxious gas.
Do not longer use the air conditioner until a qualified
service person confirms that the leakage has been
repaired.
• Consult your local dealer regarding what to do in
case of refrigerant leakage.
When the air conditioner is to be installed in a small
room, it is necessary to take proper measures so that
the amount of any leaked refrigerant does not exceed
the concentration limit in the event of a leakage.
Otherwise, this may lead to an accident due to oxygen
depletion.
• Contact professional personnel about attachment
of accessories and be sure to use only
accessories specified by the manufacturer.
If a defect results from your own workmanship, it may
result in water leaks, electric shock or fire.
• Consult your local dealer regarding relocation and
reinstallation of the air conditioner.
Improper installation work may result in leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards.

WARNING
• Be sure to use fuses with the correct ampere
reading.
Do not use improper fuses, copper or other wires as a
substitute, as this may result in electric shock, fire, injury
or damage to the unit.
• Be sure to earth the unit.
Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor
or telephone earth lead. Imperfect earthing may result in
electric shocks or fire.
A high surge current from lightning or other sources may
cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in
electric shocks or fire.
• Consult the dealer if the air conditioner submerges
owing to a natural disaster, such as a flood or
typhoon.
Do not operate the air conditioner in that case, or
otherwise a malfunction, electric shock, or fire may
result.
• Do not start or stop operating the air conditioner
with the power supply breaker turned ON or OFF.
Otherwise, fire or water leakage may result.
Furthermore, the fan will rotate abruptly if power failure
compensation is enabled, which may result in inlury.
• Do not use the product in the atmosphere
contaminated with oil vapor, such as cooking oil or
machine oil vapor.
Oil vapor may cause crack damage, electric shocks, or
fire.
• Do not use the product in places with excessive oily
smoke, such as cooking rooms, or in places with
flammable gas, corrosive gas, or metal dust.
Using the product in such places may cause fire or
product failures.
• Do not use flammable materials (e.g., hairspray or
insecticide) near the product.
Do not clean the product with organic solvents such
as paint thinner.
The use of organic solvents may cause crack damage to
the product, electric shocks, or fire.
• Be sure to use a dedicated power supply for the air
conditioner.
The use of any other power supply may cause heat
generation, fire, or product failures.
• Consult your dealer regarding cleaning the inside of
the air conditioner.
Improper cleaning may cause breakage of plastic parts,
water leakage and other damage as well as electric
shocks.
CAUTION
• Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other
than those for which it is intended.
Do not use the air conditioner for cooling precision
instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this
may adversely affect the performance, quality and/or
longevity of the object concerned.
• Do not remove the outdoor unit’s fan guard.
The guard protects against the unit’s high speed fan,
which may cause injury.
• Do not place objects that are susceptible to
moisture directly beneath the indoor or outdoor
units.
Under certain conditions, condensation on the main unit
or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may
cause dripping, resulting in fouling or failure of the object
concerned.
• To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is
adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner
is used together with the air conditioner.
• After prolonged use, check the unit stand and its
mounts for damage.
If left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and
cause injury.
• Do not place flammable sprays or operate spray
containers near the unit as this may result in fire.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop unit operation, turn
the breaker off or remove the power cord.
Otherwise, an electric shock and injury may result.
• To avoid electric shocks, do not operate with wet
hands.
• Do not place appliances that produce naked flames
in places exposed to the air flow from the unit as
this may impair combustion of the burner.
• Do not place heaters directly below the unit, as
resulting heat can cause deformation.

CAUTION
• Do not allow a child to mount on the outdoor
unit or avoid placing any object on it.
Falling or tumbling may result in injury.
• Do not block air inlets nor outlets.
Impaired air flow may result in insufficient
performance or trouble.
• Be sure that children, plants or animals are not
exposed directly to airflow from the unit, as
adverse effects may ensue.
• Do not wash the air conditioner or the remote
controller with water, as this may result in
electric shocks or fire.
• Do not install the air conditioner at any place
where there is a danger of flammable gas
leakage.
In the event of a gas leakage, build-up of gas near
the air conditioner may result in fire hazards.
• Do not put flammable containers, such as spray
cans, within 1 m from the blow-off mouth.
The containers may explode because the warm air
output of the indoor or outdoor unit will affect them.
• Arrange the drain to ensure complete drainage.
If proper drainage from the outdoor drain pipe does
not occur during air conditioner operation, there
could be a blockage due to dirt and debris build-up
in the pipe.
This may result in a water leakage from the indoor
unit. Under these circumstances, stop air
conditioner operation and consult your dealer for
assistance.
• The appliance is not intended for use by
unattended young children or infirm persons.
Impairment of bodily functions and harm to health

become deposited in the unit, which could
endanger the health of those who are
hypersensitive to chemicals.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of the
outdoor unit and do not let leaves and other
debris accumulate around the unit.
Leaves are a hotbed for small animals which can
enter the unit. Once in the unit, such animals can
cause malfunctions, smoke or fire when making
contact with electrical parts.
