IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of explosion, fire, death, electric shock, injury or scalding to persons when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

xBefore accessing the terminals, all power circuits must be disconnected.

xFixed installations will incorporate disconnect means in accordance with installation rules.

xThis device will not be accessible to public. xThe appliance must be installed in accordance with national

regulations for electrical installations.

Children in the Household

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Installation

xDo not install the air conditioner on an unstable surface or in a place where there is danger of it falling.

xContact an authorized service center when installing or relocating the air conditioner.

xInstall the panel and the cover of the control box safely. xDo not install the air conditioner in a place where flammable

liquids or gases such as gasoline, propane, paint thinner, etc., are stored.

xMake sure that the pipe and the power cable connecting the indoor and outdoor units are not pulled too tight when installing the air conditioner.

xUse standard circuit breaker and fuse that conform to the rating of the air conditioner.

xDo not input air or gas into the system except with the specific refrigerant.

xUse non-flammable gas (nitrogen) to check for leak and to purge air; using compressed air or flammable gas may cause fire or explosion.

xThe 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.

xInstall dedicated electric outlet and circuit breaker before using the air conditioner.

xDo not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, a lightning rod, or a telephone ground wire.

xMeans for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

Operation

xBe sure to use only those parts listed in the service parts list. Never attempt to modify the equipment.

xMake sure that children do not climb on or hit the outdoor unit. xDispose of the batteries in a place where there is no danger of

fire. xUse only the refrigerant specified on the air conditioner label. xCut off the power supply if there is any noise, smell, or smoke

coming from the air conditioner. xDo not leave flammable substances such as gasoline, benzene, or

thinner near the air conditioner. xContact an authorized service center when the air conditioner is

submerged by flood waters. xDo not use the air conditioner for an extended period of time in a

small place without proper ventilation. xIn the event of a gas leak (such as Freon, propane gas, LP gas,

etc.) ventilate sufficiently before using the air conditioner again. xTo clean the interior, contact an authorized service center or

dealer. Using harsh detergents may cause corrosion or damage to the unit.

xBe sure to ventilate sufficiently when the air conditioner and a heating appliance such as a heater are used simultaneously.

xDo not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. xDo not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet

while the air conditioner is operating. xMake sure that the power cable is neither dirty, loose, nor broken. xNever touch, operate, or repair the air conditioner with wet hands. xDo not place any objects on the power cable. xDo not place a heater or other heating appliances near the power

cable. xDo not modify or extend the power cable. Scratches or peeling

insulation on the power cables may result in fire or electric shock, and should be replaced.

xCut off the power supply immediately in the event of a blackout or a thunderstorm.
