• Read this manual carefully before starting the unit.

• For safety reason, the operator must read the following cautions carefully.

• This manual classifies precautions into WARNINGS and CAUTIONS. Be sure to follow all precautions below: they are all important for ensuring safety.

WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, the unit may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Never do. Be sure to follow the instructions.

Be sure to ground the air conditioner.

Never touch the air conditioner (including the

remote controller) with a wet hand.

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, the unit may cause minor or moderate property damage or personal injury.

Never cause the air conditioner (including the

remote controller) to get wet.

CAUTION

WARNING

• In order to avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when in a harmful environment, among which flammable or corrosive gases, are detected near the unit.

• It is not good for health to expose your body to the airflow for a long time.

• Do not put your finger, a rod or other objects into the air outlet or inlet. As the fan is rotating at a high speed and could, cause injury. Always keep small children away from the unit during operation.

• Do not attempt to repair, relocate, modify or reinstall the air conditioner by yourself. Incorrect work or modifications could cause electric shocks, fire or other damage. For repairs and reinstallation, consult your Daikin dealer for advice and information.

• The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is safe. Although leaks should not occur, if for some reason any refrigerant happens to leak into the room, make sure it does not come in contact with any flame such as gas heaters, kerosene heaters or gas range.

• If the air conditioner is not cooling (heating) properly, the refrigerant may be leaking, contact your authorized dealer or qualified service repairman. When making repairs which requires adding refrigerant, consult with your authorized dealer or qualified service repairman.

• Do not attempt to install the air conditioner by yourself. Improper installation could result in water leakage, electric shocks or fire. For installation, consult your authorized dealer or a qualified technician.

• If you detect any abnormal smell or fire, stop the operation and turn off the breaker in order to avoid electric shock, fire or injury. And call your authorized dealer for instructions.

CAUTION

• The air conditioner must be grounded to the earth. Improper grounding may result in electric shocks. Do not connect the earth grounding wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or a telephone ground line. Follow all local and state electrical codes.

• Do not use this unit for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art.

• Never expose little children, plants or animals directly to the airflow.

•

Do not place appliances which produce an open flame in places exposed to the airflow from the unit or under the indoor unit. It may cause incomplete combustion of appliances or deformation of the indoor unit due to heat.

• Do not block air inlets or outlets. Impaired airflow may result in poor performance or equipment problems.

• Do not stand, sit, or place objects on the outdoor unit. To avoid injury, do not remove the fan guard.

2 ■English

• Do not place anything under the indoor or outdoor unit that must be kept away from moisture , such as

electrical or electronic equipment. In certain conditions, moisture in the air may condense and drip.

• Check the unit stand and fittings for damage annually.

•

Do not touch the air inlet and aluminum fins of outdoor unit. It may cause injury and/or damage the heat transfer surface.

• This appliance is NOT intended for use by young children or impaired persons without proper supervision.

•

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT play with or near the airflow of this appliance.

• Do not pull at the conduit or hang anything on it. Otherwise it will cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Improper handling may result in injury.

• Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping operation. Always wait at least five minutes before

turning off the power. Otherwise, water leakage and trouble may occur.

• To avoid oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room sufficiently if equipment with a burner is used

together with the air conditioner. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage be sure to stop the operation, turn the breaker off or pull out the

•

supply cord before cleaning or servicing the unit. NOTE: More than one disconnect may be required to shut off all power.

• Do not connect the air conditioner to a power supply different from the one specified. It may cause

improper operation or fire.

•

Depending on the environment, state and local electrical codes, a ground fault circuit interrupter may be required. Improper grounding or lack of a ground fault circuit interrupter may result in electrical shock, injuries, or death.

•

Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Improper drainage may cause water damage to the building, or it’s furnishing.

•

Depending on the usage environment, water may leak from the air conditioner. If this happens, contact your Trane Dealer.

• Safely dispose of the packing materials. Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden

parts, may cause stabs or other injuries. Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them. If children play with a plastic bag which was not torn apart, they face the risk of suffocation.

• The remote controller should be installed in such away that children cannot play with it.

• Do not operate the air conditioner with wet hands.

• Do not wash the indoor unit with excessive water, only use a slightly wet cloth.

• Do not place things such as vessels containing water or anything else on top of the unit. Water

may penetrate into the unit and degrade electrical insulations, resulting in an electric shock.

Installation site

■ To install the air conditioner in the following types of environments, consult your authorizede dealer.

• Places with an oily ambient or where steam or soot occurs.

• Salty environment such as coastal areas.

• Places where sulfide gas occurs such as hot springs.

• Places where snow may block the outdoor unit.

■■■■ About batteries

• When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the same type, and replace the two old batteries together.

• When the system is not used for a long time, take the batteries out. In case the remote controller is not used for a long time remove all batteries in order to prevent liquid leak of the battery.

• We recommend replacing once a year, although if the remote controller display begins to fade or if reception deteriorates, please replace with new alkali batteries. Using manganese batteries reduces the lifespan.

• The attached batteries are provided for the initial use of the system. The usable period of the batteries may be short depending on the manufactured date of the air conditioner.

• Pressing two or more buttons simultaneously may cause the strange display of the Remote controller. The Remote controller is not malfunction. In this case take the batteries out and reset them.

■■■■ About remote controller

• Do not put the remote controller in the following places.

• In direct sunlight.

• In vicinity of a heater.

•

Dust on the signal transmitter or receiver will reduce the sensitivity. Wipe off dust with soft cloth.

• Signal communication may be disabled if an electronic-starter-type fluorescent lamp (such as inverter-type lamps) is in the room. Consult your authorized dealer if that is the case.

• If the remote controller signals happen to operate another appliance, move that appliance to
