WARNING

The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulation.

Means for disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Installation must be requested from the supplying retail dealership or professional installation vendors. Installation requires special knowledge and skill. If customers install on their own, it can be a cause of fire, electric shock, injury or water leakage.

Do not disassemble, modify or relocate the unit by yourself. It may become the cause of fire, electric shock, or water leakage. For repair or relocation, please request service from the supplying retail dealership or a dealership.

When relocating or repairing the unit, please contact the supplying retail dealership. When there is a kink in the wiring, it may be the cause of electric shock or fire.

Do not select a location for installation where flammable gas may leak. If there is any gas leakage or accumulation around the unit, it can be a cause of fire.

Do not select a location for installation where there may be excessive water or humidity, such as a bathroom. Deterioration of insulation may be a cause of electric shock or fire.

Earth work should be requested from the supplying retail dealership or professional vendors. Insufficient grounding work may be the cause of electric shock. Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning conductor, or telephone earth wire.

You must use an independent power outlet for the power supply. If a power outlet other than the independent outlet is used, it may cause a fire.

Check that the circuit breaker is installed correctly. If the circuit breaker is not properly installed, it may cause an electric shock. To check the installation method, please contact the supplying retail dealership or the professional vendor who installed the unit.

During an error (such as a burning odor, not cooling, or not warming), stop operating the unit and turn off the circuit breaker. Continuous operation may be a cause of fire, or electric shock. Please request repair or service from the supplying retail dealership.

Do not turn ON/OFF the circuit breaker or operate buttons with a wet hand. It may be a cause of electric shock.

Do not insert any material (metal, paper, or water, etc) into the air outlet or air intake opening. Fan may be rotating at high speed inside or there are high voltage sections, which may cause an injury or electric shock.

When the air-conditioning unit does not cool or warm, there may be a leakage of refrigerant. Please consult the supplying retail dealership. The refrigerant used in the air-conditioning unit is safe. It will not leak under normal operating conditions but if it leaks into the room and contacts a heat source such as a heater, or stove, it may cause a harmful reaction.

When water or other foreign substances enter the internal parts, stop operating the unit immediately and turn off the circuit breaker. Operating the unit continuously may cause fire or electric shock. Please contact the supplying retail dealership for repair.

Do not clean the inside of the air-conditioning unit yourself. Please request internal cleaning of the air-conditioning unit from the supplying retail dealership. Incorrect cleaning may cause breakage of resin parts or insulation defects of electrical parts, causing water leakage, electric shock or fire.

Do not damage or modify the power cable. Do not connect the cable midway, or use a multiple outlet extension cord that is shared by other devices. Failure to do so may cause fire.

Do not place heavy objects on the power cable, expose it to heat, or pull it. To do so may cause electrical shock or fire.

Do not expose your body directly to cool air for a long time.

Do not insert your finger or any article into the air inlet/outlet.

CAUTION

Ensure that drained water is discharged. When the discharging water process is not sufficient, water may leak, causing water damage to furniture. To check that the installation method used is correct, please contact the supplying retail dealership or the professional vendor who installed the unit.

If the indoor unit piping outlet is exposed due to relocation, close the opening, Touching internal electrical parts may cause injury or electric shock.

Do not wash the main air-conditioning unit with water. It may cause an electric shock.

Do not place any containers such as a vase containing fluid on the unit. It might cause water to enter the unit and deteriorate the electrical insulation, causing an electric shock.

When using the unit in a closed room, or operating with other combustion appliances, make sure to open a window occasionally for ventilation. Insufficient ventilation may cause suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.

Do not use combustion appliances in the direct flow of the air from the air-conditioning unit. Poor combustion of a combustion appliance may cause suffocation.

Avoid operating for long periods in a high humidity environment (over 80%) such as with the windows or doors open. There may be condensation on the indoor unit and droplets may fall onto the furniture.

When the unit won’t be used for a long time, turn off the main switch or the circuit breaker.

At least once a year check if the mounting table of the outdoor unit is damaged or not. If a damaged state is ignored, the unit may fall or over-turn, causing an injury.

Stand on a sturdy ladder when attaching/detaching the front panel/air filter/air cleaning filter. Failure to do so may cause a fall or injury.

Do not stand on the outdoor unit or place anything on the unit. It may be the cause of injury due to falling or over-turning. Any damage to the unit may cause an electric shock or fire.

Do not place anything around the outdoor unit or allow fallen leaves to accumulate around it. If there are fallen leaves, small animals could enter and contact internal electrical par ts, causing a failure or fire.

Do not place animals and plants in places where wind from the air-conditioning unit flows directly. It may have a negative influence on the animal or plant.

Do not use for special applications such as storage of food or animals, or to display plants, precision devices, or art objects. Do not use on ships or in other vehicles. It may cause a failure in the air-conditioning unit. In addition, it may damage these items.

Do not place other electrical appliances or furniture under the unit. Water droplets might fall, causing damage or failure.

When performing maintenance, you must stop operating the unit and turn off the circuit breaker. Since the fan inside may be rotating at high speed, it may cause an injury.

After the front panel/air filter is cleaned, wipe away any water and allow to dry. If water remains, it may cause an electric shock.

Once the front panel is removed, do not touch the metal parts (aluminum fins, etc.) of the unit. It may cause an injury.

When you hear thunder and there might be a lightning strike, stop operating the unit and disconnect the circuit breaker. If lightning strikes, it may cause a failure.
