CAUTION
•
Do not use the air conditioner or 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
above 80% 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 air conditioner or heat pump with
excessive water. An electric shock or fire may result.
•
Avoid placing the controller in a spot which may be
splashed with water. Water entering the controller may
cause an electric shock or damage the internal electronic
parts.
•
Do not operate the air conditioner or 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 hypersensitive to chemicals.
•
Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping
operation. Always wait for at least 5 minutes before
turning off the power. Otherwise, water leakage may
occur.
•
The appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
•
The remote controller should be kept away from children
so they cannot play with it.
•
Consult with the installation contractor for cleaning.
•
Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the air conditioner
or heat pump could make the plastics parts break and
cause water leakage or electric shock.
•
Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fin of the air
conditioner or heat pump as they can cut and cause
injury.
•
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor
unit. 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, animals
can cause the unit to malfunction, and cause smoke or
fire when they make contact with electrical parts.
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 benzine,
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 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.
•
Do not spray the air conditioner unit with any deodorizers,
etc. It may cause the unit to malfunction.
