•
Never insert your fingers or other objects into the air
inlet or air outlet. The fan is rotating at high speed
and will cause injury.
•
Check the unit foundation for damage on a continu-
ous basis, especially if it has been installed a long
time. If left in a damaged condition, the unit may cause
injury.
•
Never touch the internal parts of the controller. Do
not remove the front panel because some parts in-
side are dangerous to touch. Checking and adjust-
ing internal parts should only be done by a qualified
professional.
•
Do not use the heat pump for any other purposes
other than comfort cooling or heating. Do not use
the unit for cooling precision instruments, food,
plants, animals or works of art.
•
Do not place items under the indoor unit as they may be
damaged by condensates that may form if the humidity
is high or if the drain outlet gets blocked.
•
Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by turning
the power off or by pulling the supply cord out from its
receptacle. Otherwise, an electric shock and injury may
result.
•
Do not wash the heat pump with excessive water. An
electric shock or fire may result.
•
Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with
water. Water entering the controller may cause an
electric shock or damage the internal electronic parts.
•
Do not operate the heat pump when using a room
fumigation type of insecticide. Failure to observe this
could cause the chemicals to be deposited in the unit
and can endanger the health of those who are hyper-
sensitive to chemicals.
•
The appliance is not intended for use by young chil-
dren or infirm persons without supervision.
•
The remote controller should be kept away from chil-
dren so they cannot play with it.
•
Consult with the installation contractor for cleaning.
•
Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the heat pump
could make the plastic parts break and cause water
leakage or electric shock.
•
Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fin of the heat
pump as they can cut and cause injury.
•
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the out-
side unit. When leaves and other debris accumulate
around the unit, this may provide an area for small
animals to inhabit. Animals inside the unit may make
contact with electrical parts, causing smoke or fire.
They can also make the unit malfunction.
•
Never press the button of the remote controller with
a hard, pointed object as this can cause damage.
•
Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote con-
troller, as this may make the unit malfunction.
•
Do not place appliances that produce open flames
(except a gas furnace) in places that are exposed to
the air flow of the unit or under the indoor unit. Ex-
cessive heat buildup may cause incomplete combus-
tion or deformation of the unit.
•
Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight. The
LCD display can become discolored and may fail to
display the data.
•
Do not wipe the controller operation panel with ben-
zene, thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may
become discolored or cause the coating to peel. If it
is extremely dirty, soak a cloth in water-diluted neu-
tral detergent, squeeze it well and wipe the panel
clean. Wipe it with another dry cloth.
•
Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrigerant,
oil, and additional parts, should be done in accor-
dance with the relevant local, state, and national regu-
lations.
•
Operate the heat pump in a sufficiently ventilated area
that is not surrounded by obstacles. Do not use the
heat pump in the following places.
a. Places with a mist of mineral oil, such as cutting
oil.
b. Locations such as coastal areas where there is a
lot of salt in the air.
c. Locations such as hot springs where there is an
abundance of sulfur in the air.
d. Locations such as factories where the power volt-
age varies frequently.
e. In cars, boats, and other vehicles.
f. Locations such as kitchens where oil may splat-
ter or where there is steam in the air.
g. Locations where equipment produces electromag-
netic waves.
h. Places with an acid or alkaline mist.
i. Places where fallen leaves can accumulate or
where weeds can grow.
