is risk of fire or electric shock.
• For installation, removal or reinstall , always contact the dealer or an
Authorized Service Center. There is risk of fire, electric shock, explosion,
or injury.
• Do not install the product on a defective installation stand. Be sure that
the installation area does not deteriorate with age. It may cause product to
fall.
• Never install the outdoor unit on a moving base or a place from where
it can fall down.
The falling outdoor unit can cause damage or injury or even death of a person.
• In outdoor unit the step-up capacitor supplies high voltage electricity to the
electrical components. Be sure to discharge the capacitor completely
before conducting the repair work.
An charged capacitor can cause electrical shock.
• When installing the unit, use the installation kit provided with the product.
Otherwise the unit may fall and cause severe injury.
• Indoor/outdoor wiring connections must be secured tightly and the cable
should be routed properly so that there is no force pulling the cable from
the connection terminals. Improper or loose connections can cause heat
generation or fire.
• Safely dispose off the packing materials. Like screws, nails, batteries, broken things etc after installation or svc and then tear away and throw away
the plastic packaging bags. Children may play with them and cause injury.
• Be sure to check the refrigerant to be used. Please read the label on the
product. Incorrect refrigerant used can prevent the normal operation of the
unit.
Operation
• When the product is soaked (flooded or submerged) in water , contact an
Authorized Service Center for repair before using it again. There is risk of
fire or eletric shock.
• Be sure to use only those parts which are listed in the svc parts list.
Never attempt to modify the equipment. The use of inappropriate parts
can cause an electrical shock, excessive heat generation or fire.
• Do not touch , operate, or repair the product with wet hands. Hold the
plug by hand when taking out. There is risk of electric shock or fire.
• Do not place a heater or other heating appliances near the power cable.
There is risk of fire and electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• Do not allow water to run into electric parts. Install the unit away from
water sources. There is risk of fire, failure of the product, or electric shock.
• Do not store or use or even allow flammable gas or combustibles near the
product. There is risk of fire.
• Do not use the product in a tightly closed space for a long time. Perform
ventilation regularly. Oxygen deficiency could occur and hence harm your
health.
• Do not open the front grille of the product during operation. (Do not touch
the electrostatic filter, if the unit is so equipped.) There is risk of physical
injury, electric shock, or product failure.
• If strange sound, smell or smoke comes from product.Immediately turn
the breaker off or disconnect the power supply cable. There is risk of electric shock or fire.
• Ventilate the product room from time to time when operating it together
with a stove, or heating element etc. Oxygen deficiency can occur and
hence harm your health.
• When the product is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the power
supply plug or turn off the breaker. There is risk of product damage or failure, or unintended operation.
• Take care to ensure that nobody especially kids could step on or fall onto
the outdoor unit. This could result in personal injury and product damage.
• Take care to ensure that power cable could not be pulled out or damaged
during operation. There is risk of fire or electric shock.
• Do not place ANYTHING on the power cable. There is risk of fire or electric shock.
• When flammable gas leaks, turn off the gas and open a window for ventilation befor turning on the product. Do not use the telephone or turn
switches on or off. There is risk of explosion or fire.
CAUTION
Installation
• Two or more people must lift and transport the product. Avoid personal
injury.
• Do not install the product where it will be exposed to sea wind (salt spray)
directly. It may cause corrosion on the product.

ENGLISH
• Do not install the product where the noise or hot air from the outdoor unit
could damage or disturb the neighborhoods. It may cause a problem for
your neighbors and hence dispute.
• Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation or repair of
product. Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of product.
• Please install safely at a place that can sufficiently endure the weight of
the product.
If the strength is not sufficient, the product may fall and cause injury.
Operation
• Do not use the product for special purposes, such as preserving foods,
works of art, etc. It is a consumer air conditioner, not a precision refrigeration system. There is risk of damage or loss of property.
• Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. It may cause product failure.
• Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not use harsh detergents, solvents or splashing water etc. There is risk of fire, electric shock, or damage to the plastic
parts of the product.
• Do not touch the metal parts of the product when removing the air filter.
There is risk of personal injury.
• Do not step on or put anyting on the product. (outdoor units) There is risk
of personal injury and failure of product.
• Always insert the filter securely after cleaning. Clean the filter every two
weeks or more often if necessary. A dirty filter reduces the efficiency.
• Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while
the product is operating. There are sharp and moving parts that could
cause personal injury.
• Be cautious when unpacking and installing the product. Sharp edges could
cause injury.
• If the refrigerant gas leaks during the repair, do not touch the leakaing
refrigerant gas. The refrigernat gas can cause frostbite (cold burn).
• Do not tilt the unit when removing or uninstalling it. The condensed water
inside can spill.
• Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant used in the system. If air enters the refrigerant system, an excessively high pressure
results, causing equipment damage or injury.
• If the refrigerant gas leaks during the installation, ventilate the area immediately. Otherwise it can be harmfull for your health.
• Dismantling the unit, treatment of the refrigerant oil and eventual parts
should be done in accordance with local and national standards.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• Replace the all batteries in the remote control with new ones of the same
type. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
There is risk of fire or product failure.
• Do not recharge or disassemble the batteries. Do not dispose off batteries
in a fire. They may burn or explode.
• If the liquid from the batteries gets onto your skin or clothes, wash it well
with clean water. Do not use the remote if the batteries have leaked. The
chemicals in batteries could cause burns or other health hazards.
• If you eat the liquid from the batteries, brush your teeth and see doctor.
Do not use the remote if the batteries have leaked. The chemicals in batteries could cause burns or other health hazards.
• Do not let the air conditioner run for a long time when the humidity is very
high and a door or a window is left open. Moisture may condense and wet
or damage furniture.
• Do not expose your skin or kids or plants to the cool or hot air draft. This

Read completely, then follow step by step.
You need to select adequate installation location
considering the following conditions, and make
sure to acquire the consent of the user.
Select the best location
1 Do not have any heat or steam near the unit.
2 Select a place where there are no obstacles
in front of the unit.
3 Make sure that condensation drainage can be
conveniently routed away.
4 Do not install near a doorway.
5
Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the
wall, ceiling, fence or other obstacles.
6 Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent
unnecessary damage to the wall.
1 If an awning is built over the unit to prevent
direct sunlight or rain exposure, make sure
that heat radiation from the condenser is not
restricted.
2 Ensure that the spaces indicated by arrows
around front, back and side of the unit.
3 Do not place animals and plants in the path of
the warm air.
4 Take the air conditioner weight into account
and select a place where noise and vibration
are minimum.
5 Select a place so that the warm air and noise
from the air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.
6 Place that can sufficiently endure the weight
and vibration of the outdoor unit and where
even installation is possible.
7 Place that has no direct influence of snow or
rain.
8 Place with no danger of snowfall or icicle
drop.
9 Place without weak floor or base such as
decrepit part of the building or with a lot of
snow accumulation.
10 Sufficient ventilation is secured.
