DANGER
For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
•
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, especially in basements,
and an asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious injury or death.
Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes in contact with
fi
re such as from a fan heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure
•
to this gas could cause severe injury or death.
Any abnormalities in the operation of the air conditioner such as smoke or
fi
re could result in severe injury or death.
•
Turn off the power and contact your dealer immediately for instructions.
Do not install the unit in an area where
fl
ammable materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
•
If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same room as the air conditioner, there is the danger of oxygen de
fi
ciency which could
•
lead to an asphyxiation hazard resulting in serious injury or death.
Be sure to ventilate the room suf
fi
ciently to avoid this hazard.
Safely dispose of the packing materials.
•
Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries. Tear apart and throw away
plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them. Children playing with plastic bags face the danger of death by
suffocation.
