DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

This product is marked « » as it satisfies EEC Directive No. 89/336/ EEC, 93/68/EEC, 92/31/EEC and 2006/95/CE. This declaration will become void in case of mis-usage and/or from non observance though partial of Manufacturer’s installation and/or operating instructions.

Alert Symbols

The following symbols used in this manual, alert you to potentially dangerous conditions to users, service personnel or the appliance:

CAUTION

This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death.

This symbol refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in personal injury or product or property damage.

Installation Location

• We recommend that this air conditioner be installed properly by qualified installation technicians in accordance with the Installation Instructions provided with the unit.

• Before installation, check that the voltage of the electric supply in your home or office is the same as the voltage shown on the nameplate.

• Do not install this air conditioner where there are fumes or flammable gases, or in an extremely humid space such as a greenhouse.

• Do not install the air conditioner where excessively high heatgenerating objects are placed.

Avoid: To protect the air conditioner from heavy corrosion, avoid installing the

outdoor unit where salty sea water can splash directly onto it or in sulphurous air near a spa.

Electrical Requirements

1. All wiring must conform to the local electrical codes. Consult your dealer or a

qualified electrician for details.

2. Each unit must be properly grounded with a ground (or earth) wire or

through the supply wiring.

3. Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION

Safety Instructions

• Read this Instruction Manual carefully before using this air conditioner. If you still have any difficulties or problems, consult your dealer for help.

• This air conditioner is designed to give you comfortable room conditions. Use this only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction Manual.

• Never use or store gasoline or other flammable vapor or liquid near the air conditioner — it is very dangerous.

• This air conditioner has no ventilator for intaking fresh air from outdoors. You must open doors or windows frequently when you use gas or oil heating appliances in the same room, which consume a lot of oxygen from the air. Otherwise there is a risk of suffocation in an extreme case.

• Do not turn the air conditioner on and off from the power mains switch. Use the ON/OFF operation button.

• Do not stick anything into the air outlet of the outdoor unit. This is dangerous because the fan is rotating at high speed.

• Do not let children play with the air conditioner.

• Do not cool or heat the room too much if babies or invalids are present.
