Usage
1Being 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.
2Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when using together with stoves or other heating devices.
3Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Usage in such a manner could harm such property.
Cleaningandmaintenance
1Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.
2Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

Care and Maintenance
Howto AttachDrainPan(Optional)
The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensed water (moisture removed from the air) is drained to the outside.
In very humid weather, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) excessive condensate water removed from the air may cause some water to collect. To remove this excess water you can install the drain pan as detailed below.
1Take the drain pan which is located in the air discharge.
2Remove the hole rubber from the base-pan (for some models).
3Install the drain pan to the right corner of the cabinet with 4 (or 2) screws.
4Connect the drain hose of 15mm inside diameter to the outlet located at the bottom of the drain pan.You can purchase the drain hose or tubing locally to satisfy your particular needs. (Drain hose is not supplied).
