AFETY 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 explo-
sion.
Do not operate the unit for more than 4 hours at high hu-
midity (80% RH or more) and/or with windows or outside
door left open.
• This may cause the water condensation in the air conditioner,
which may drip down, wetting or damaging the furniture.
• The water condensation in the air conditioner may contribute
to growth of fungi, such as mold.
Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing
food, raising animals, growing plants, or preserving preci-
sion 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
overheating, 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 oper-
ated 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, per-
form inspection and maintenance in addition to normal
cleaning.
• Dirt or dust in the unit may create an unpleasant odor, con-
tribute to growth of fungi, such as mold, 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.
IMPORTANT
Dirty filters cause condensation in the air conditioner which will contribute
to the growth of fungi such as mold. It is therefore recommended
to clean air filters every 2 weeks.
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 unit, it may cause
an explosion.
Ground the unit correctly.
• Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe,
lightning rod, or a telephone ground wire. Improper grounding
may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
Install a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit breaker de-
pending on the installation location of the air conditioner
(such as highly humid areas).
• If the Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) 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.
