• Be sure to use fuses with the correct ampere reading.
Do not use improper fuses, copper or other wiring as a substitute, as this may result in electric shocks,
fire, damage to the air conditioner.
• Consult your local dealer if the air conditioner submerges owing to a natural disaster, such as
flood or typhoon.
Do not operate the air conditioner in that case, or otherwise a malfunction, electric shocks, or fire may
result.
• Start or stop the air conditioner with the remote controller. Never use the power circuit breaker
for this purpose.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or water leakage. Furthermore, if an automatic restart
control is provided against power failure and the power is recovered, the fan will rotate suddenly and may
cause injury.
• Do not use the air conditioner in the atmosphere contaminated with oil vapor, such as cooking
oil or machine oil vapor.
Oil vapor may cause crack damage to the air conditioner, electric shocks, or fire.
• Do not use flammable materials (e.g., hairspray or insecticide) near the air conditioner.
Do not clean the air conditioner with organic solvents such as paint thinner.
The use of organic solvents may cause crack damage to the air conditioner, electric shocks, or fire.
• Do not use the air conditioner in places with excessive oily smoke, such as cooking rooms,
or in places with flammable gas, corrosive gas or metal dust.
Using the air conditioner in such places may cause a fire or air conditioner failures.
• Beware of a fire in case of refrigerant leakage.
If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool or warm air, refrigerant leakage
could be the cause. Consult your local dealer for assistance. The refrigerant used for the air conditioner
is safe and normally does not leak. However, if the refrigerant leaks and gets in contact with a naked
burner, heater or cooker, it may generate hazardous compounds. Turn off the air conditioner and call
your local dealer. Turn on the air conditioner after the qualified service person makes sure to confirm that
the leakage is repaired.
• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet.
Injury may result due to contact with the air conditioner's high speed fan blades.
• Consult your local dealer regarding cleaning the inside of the air conditioner.
Improper cleaning may cause breakage of plastic parts, water leakage and other damage as well as
electric shocks.
• 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. Consult your
local dealer about installation work.
Doing the work yourself may result in water leakage, electric shocks or a fire.
• Contact professional personnel about attachment of accessories and be sure to use only
accessories specified by the manufacturer.
If a defect results from your own workmanship, it may result in water leakage, electric shocks or a fire .
• Consult your local dealer regarding relocation and re-installation of the air conditioner.
Improper
installation work may result in leakage, electric shocks or a fire.
• Be sure to earth the air conditioner.
Do not earth the air conditioner to a utility piping, lightning conductor or telephone earth lead. Imperfect
earthing may result in electric shocks or a fire. A high surge current from lightning or other sources may
cause damage to the air conditioner.
