<![if ! IE]>

<![endif]>ENGLISH

1.Being exposed to direct airflow for a long time may be hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for a long time.

2.Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when using the appliance together with stoves or other heating devices.

3.Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purpose (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, or art objects). Such use may damage your properties.

Cleaning and Maintenance

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