SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION

Do not step on an unstable bench to operate or clean the unit.

• This may cause injury if you fall down.

Do not pull the power cord.

This may cause a portion of the core wire to break, which may cause overheating or fire.

Do not charge or disassemble the batteries, and do not throw them into a fire.

This may cause the batteries to leak, or cause a fire or explosion.

Do not operate the unit for a long time at high humidity (80% RH or more), such as with a door or window left open.

The water condensation in the air conditioner may drip down, wetting or damaging the furniture.

Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing food, raising animals, growing plants, or preserving precision devices or art objects.

This may cause deterioration of quality, or harm to animals and plants.

Do not expose combustion appliances to direct airflow.

• This may cause incomplete combustion.

Before cleaning the unit, switch it OFF and disconnect the power plug or turn the breaker OFF.

This may cause injury, since the fan inside rotates at high speeds during operation.

When the unit will be unused for a long time, disconnect the power plug or turn the breaker OFF.

The unit may accumulate dirt, which may cause overheating or fire.

Replace all batteries of the remote controller with new ones of the same type.

Using an old battery together with a new one may cause over- heating, leakage, or explosion.

If the battery fluid comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash them thoroughly with clean water.

If the battery fluid comes in contact with your eyes, wash them thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention.

Ensure that the area is well-ventilated when the unit is operated together with a combustion appliance.

• Inadequate ventilation may cause oxygen starvation.

Turn the breaker OFF when you hear thunder and there is a possibility of a lightning strike.

• The unit may be damaged if lightning strikes.

After the air conditioner is used for several seasons, perform inspection and maintenance in addition to normal cleaning.

Dirt or dust in the unit may create an unpleasant odor or clog the drain passage, and cause water to leak from the indoor unit. Consult your dealer for inspection and maintenance, which require specialized knowledge and skills.

Do not operate switches with wet hands.

• This may cause electric shock.

Do not clean the air conditioner with water or place an object that contains water, such as a flower vase, on it.

• This may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not step on or place any object on the outdoor unit.

• This may cause injury if you or the object falls down.

For installation

WARNING

Consult your dealer for installing the air conditioner.

It should not be installed by the user since installation requires specialized knowledge and skills. An improperly installed air conditioner may cause water leakage, fire, or electric shock.

Provide a dedicated power supply for the air conditioner.

A non-dedicated power supply may cause overheating or fire.

Do not install the unit where flammable gas could leak.

If gas leaks and accumulates around the outdoor unit, it may cause an explosion.

Earth the unit correctly.

• Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or a telephone ground wire. Improper earthing may cause electric shock.

CAUTION

Install an earth leakage breaker depending on the installation location of the air conditioner (such as highly humid areas).

If an earth leakage breaker is not installed, it may cause electric shock.

Ensure that the drain water is properly drained.

If the drain passage is improper, water may drip down from the indoor/outdoor unit, wetting and damaging the furniture.

In case of an abnormal condition

Immediately stop operating the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
