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 heat-generating 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 the room too much if babies or invalids are present.

The remote control unit sends the temperature signal to the air conditioner regularly at five minute intervals. If the signal from the remote control unit stops for more than 15 minutes due to the loss of the remote control unit or other trouble, the air conditioner will switch to the temperature sensor which is built into the indoor unit and control the room temperature. In these cases, the temperature around the remote control unit may differ from the temperature detected at the air conditioner’s position.
If the remote control is located near a heat source, such as a space heater or in direct sunlight, press the SENSOR button to switch to the sensor on the indoor unit.
This switches the temperature display between °C and °F.

Care and Cleaning
1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power before cleaning.
2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internal components and cause an electric shock hazard.
Casing and Grille (Indoor Unit) Clean the casing and grille of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or
wipe them with a clean, soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid detergent. When cleaning the grille, be careful not to force the vanes out of place.
CAUTION
1. Never use solvents, or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe the plastic casing using very hot water.
2. Some metal edges and the fins are sharp and may cause injury if handled improperly; be especially careful when you clean these parts.
3. The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned every year. Consult your dealer or service center.
