PORTUGUESE

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.

• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.

• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.

• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condition­er is used for many hours.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

Preparing for Operation

1 Contact an installation specialist for installation.
2 Use a dedicated circuit breaker.

Usage

1 Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your

health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended periods of
time.

2 Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used together with

stoves or other heating devices.

3 Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision

devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage could damage the items.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1 Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when

handling sharp metal edges.

2 Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insula-

tion, leading to possible electric shock.

3 When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. The fan

rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a possibility of injury if the unit’s power
is accidentally triggered on while cleaning inner parts of the unit.

Service

For repair and maintenance, contact your authorized service dealer.
