Safety Precautions
Read the precautions in this manual carefully
before operating the unit.
This appliance is filled with R32.
• Keep this manual where the user can easily find it.
• The precautions described herein are classified as WARNING and CAUTION. They both contain important information regarding
safety. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions properly may result in personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in property damage or personal injury,
which may be serious depending on the circumstances.
Never attempt.
Be sure to follow the
instructions.
Be sure to establish an earth
connection.
• After reading, keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it whenever necessary. If the equipment is
transferred to a new user, be sure also to hand over the manual.
WARNING
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance must be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an
operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• When the amount of refrigerant is 1.22kg or more, the room size of the room where equipment is installed, operated and
stored is limited.
For details refer to the WARNING list in the “Safety Precautions” section of the installation manual for the outdoor unit.
• To avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when harmful gases (e.g. flammable or corrosive) are detected
near the unit.
• Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool or warm air from the air conditioner, or to air that is too cool or too warm,
can be harmful to your physical condition and health.
• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet. Product damage or personal injury may
result due to contact with the air conditioner’s high-speed fan blades.
• Do not attempt to repair, dismantle, reinstall or modify the air conditioner yourself as this may result in water leakage,
electric shock or fire hazards.
• Do not use flammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise fire may result.
• Do not use a refrigerant other than the one indicated on the outdoor unit (R32) when installing, moving or repairing. Using
other refrigerants may cause trouble or damage to the unit, and personal injury.
• To avoid electric shock, do not operate with wet hands.
• Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage. If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool air,
refrigerant leakage could be the cause. Consult your dealer for assistance. The refrigerant within the air conditioner is safe
and normally does not leak.
However, in the event of a leakage, contact with a naked burner, heater or cooker may result in generation of noxious gas.
Do not use the air conditioner until a qualified service person confirms that the leakage has been repaired.
• Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric
shock or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or qualified personnel for installation and maintenance work.
• If the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour, etc.), turn off power to the unit and contact your local
dealer. Continued operation under such circumstances may result in a failure, electric shock or fire hazards.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage circuit breaker. Failure to install an earth leakage circuit breaker may result in electric
shock or fire.
• Be sure to earth the unit. Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth lead.
Imperfect earthing may result in electric shock.
CAUTION
• Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Do not use the air conditioner for
cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this may adversely affect the performance, quality
and/or longevity of the object concerned.
• Do not expose plants or animals directly to the airflow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects.
• Do not place appliances that produce naked flames in places exposed to the airflow from the unit as this may impair
combustion of the burner.
• Do not block the air inlets nor outlets. Impaired airflow may result in insufficient performance or trouble.
