• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air inlet
or outlet. Product damage may result due to contact w
i
th the air
conditioner's high-speed fan blades.
• Do not attempt to repair, dismantle, reinsta ll or modify the air
conditioner yourself as this may result in wate
r
leakage, electric
shock or fire hazards.
• Do not use flammable spray near the air cond
i
tioner, or otherwise fire
may resu
l
t.
• Do not use a refrigerant other than the one indicated on the outdoor
un
i
t (R32) when installing, moving or repairing. Using other
refrigerants may cause trou ble or damage to the unit, and personal
injury.
• To avoid electric shock, do not oper
a
te with wet hands.
• Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage. If the air
A
conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool
V
air, refrigerant leakage could be the cause. Consult your
service centre 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 service centre 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 service centre.
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 the
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 ai

cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals o
r
works o
f
art as this may adversely affect the performance, quality
and/o
r
longevity o
f
the object concerned.
• Do not expose plants o
r
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 impai
r
combustion

f
the burner.
• Do not block the ai
r
inlets o
r
outlets. Impaired airflow may result in
insufficient performance o
r
trouble.
• Do not sit on the outdoo
r
unit, put things on the unit, or pull the unit.
Doing so may cause accidents, such as falling or toppling down,
thus resulting in injury, product malfunctioning, or product damage.
• Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture directly beneath
the indoo
r
o

outdoo
r
units. Unde
r
certain conditions, condensation on
the main unit o
r
refrigerant pipes, ai
r
filte

t o
r
drain blockage may
cause dripping, resulting in fouling o
r
failure of the object concerned.
• Afte
r
prolonged use, check the unit stand and
i
ts mounts fo
r
damage. If they are left in a damaged condition, the un
i
t may fall
and cause inju

• Avoid impacts to the indoor and outdoo
r
units, o
r
otherwise product
damage may resu
l
t.
• Do not place flammable
i
tems, such as spray cans, w
i
thin 1 m of the
air outlet. The spray cans may explode as a resu
l
t of hot air from the
indoor o

outdoor un
i
ts.
• Be careful not to let pets urinate on the air cond
i
tioner. Urinat ion on
the air cond
i
tioner may result in electric shock or fire.
• Do not wash the air cond
i
tioner w
i
th water, as this may result in
electric shock or fire.
• Do not place water containers (vases, etc.) above the unit, as this
may resu
l
t in electric shock or fire hazards if they should topple over.
• Do not insert the batteries in the wrong polarity ( +/-) orientation as
this may result in short circuiting, fire, or battery leakage.
• To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is
A
adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner is used
V
together with the air conditioner.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop unit operation and turn off the
circuit breaker. Otherwise, an electric shock and injury may result.
• Only connect the air conditioner to the specified power supply
circuit. Power supplies other than the one specified may result in
electric shock, overheating and fires.
• Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Imperfect
drainage may cause wetting of the building, furniture, etc.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor unit and do
not let leaves and other debris accumulate around the unit. Leaves
are a hotbed for small animals which can enter the unit. Once inside
the unit, such animals can cause malfunctions, smoke or fire if they
come into contact with electrical parts.
• Do not place objects around the indoor unit.
Doing so may have an adverse influence on the performance,
product quality, and life of the air conditioner.
• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or with lack of operation
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the appliance use by person responsible for their safety.
Keep out of children's reach to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
