Safety Considerations
This is an appliance that is not accessible to the general public.
Precautions relating to area surrounding the indoor and outdoor units
Be sure to follow the instructions below.
•
The indoor unit is at least 3.3ft (1m) away from any television or radio set (unit may cause interference with the picture or
sound).
•
Refrain from using the units in areas prone to high levels of oily smoke, such as a kitchen. Water leakage may result.
NOTE
•
Never press the button of the remote controller with
a hard, pointed object. The remote controller may be
damaged.
•
Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote controller.
It may cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not place appliances that produce open flames in
places that are exposed to the airflow of the unit or under
the indoor unit. It may cause incomplete combustion or
deformation of the unit due to the heat.
•
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 benzene,
thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may get
discolored or the coating can peel off. If it is heavily dirty,
soak a cloth in a water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze
it well and wipe the panel clean. Then wipe it with another
dry cloth.
•
Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrigerant, oil, and
additional parts, should be done in accordance with the
relevant local, state, and national regulations.
• Operate the air conditioner or heat pump in a sufficiently
ventilated area and not surrounded by obstacles. Do
not use the air conditioner or 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 a lot of
sulfur in the air.
d. Locations such as factories where the power voltage
varies a lot.
e. In cars, boats, and other vehicles.
f. Locations such as kitchens where oil may splatter or
where there is steam in the air.
g. Locations where equipment produces electromagnetic
waves.
h. Places with an acid or alkaline mist.
i. Places where fallen leaves can accumulate or where
weeds can grow.
•
Take snow protection measures. Contact your dealer for
the details of snow protection measures, such as the use
of a snow protection hood.
•
Do not attempt to do electrical work or grounding work
unless you are licensed to do so. Consult with your dealer
for electrical work and grounding work.
•
Pay attention to operating sound. Be sure to use the
following places:
a. Places that can sufficiently withstand the weight of
the air conditioner or heat pump yet can suppress the
operating sound and vibration.
b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the outdoor
unit or the operating sound of the outdoor unit does not
annoy neighbors.
•
Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the outdoor
unit. Obstacles close to the outdoor unit may drop the
performance of the outdoor unit or increase the operating
sound of the outdoor unit.
•
Consult your dealer if the air conditioner or heat pump in
operation generates unusual noise.
•
Make sure that the drainpipe is installed properly to drain
water. If no water is discharged from the drainpipe while
the air conditioner or heat pump is in the cooling mode,
the drainpipe may be clogged with dust or dirt and water
leakage from the indoor unit may occur. Stop operating
the air conditioner or heat pump and contact your dealer.
