ed installers and
service mechanics. Insuf
fi
cient 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.
• 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 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.
• You must use a independent power outlet for the power supply. If a power
outlet other than the independent outlet is used, it may cause a
fi
re.
• When the air-conditioning unit does not cool or warm, there may be a
leakage of refrigerant. Please consult trained, quali
fi
ed installers and
service mechanics. 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
fi
re or electric shock. Please contact
trained, quali
fi
ed installers and service mechanics for repair.
• Do not clean the inside of the air-conditioning unit yourself. Please request
internal cleaning of the air-conditioning unit from trained, quali
fi
ed installers
and service mechanics. Incorrect cleaning may cause breakage of resin
parts or insulation defects of electrical parts, causing water leakage,
electric shock or
fi
re.
• 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
fi
re.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable, expose it to heat, or pull it.
To do so may cause electrical shock or
fi
re.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
CAUTION
• 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 trained, quali
fi
ed installers and service
mechanics.
• When using the unit in a closed room, or operating with other combustion
appliances, make sure to open a window occasionally for ventilation.
Insuf
fi
cient ventilation may cause suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.
• 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.
• It is recommended that maintenance be performed by trained, quali
fi
ed
installers and service mechanics when the unit has been operated for a

• 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
fi
lter/air cleaning
fi
lter. 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
fi
re.
• Do not use combustion appliances in the direct
fl
ow of the air from the air-
conditioning unit. Poor combustion of a combustion appliance may cause
suffocation.
• 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 parts, causing a failure or
fi
re.
• Do not place animals and plants in places where wind from the air-
conditioning unit
fl
ows directly. It may have a negative in
fl
uence on the
animal or plant.
• Ensure that drained water is discharged. When the discharging water
process is not suf
fi
cient, water may leak, causing water damage to
furniture. To check that the installation method used is correct, please
