After reading, keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it whenever necessary. If the equipment is
•
transferred to a new user, be sure also to hand over the manual.
WARNING
In order to avoid
fi
re, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when harmful, among which
fl
ammable or corrosive
•
gases, are detected near the unit.
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.
Do not place objects, including rods, your
fi
ngers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet. Product malfunctioning, product or
•
injury damage may result due to contact with the air conditioner’s high-speed fan blades.
Do not attempt to repair, dismantle reinstall or modify the air conditioner yourself as this may result in water leakage,
•
electric shocks or
fi
re hazards.
Do not use
fl
ammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise
fi
re may result.
•
Beware of
fi
re 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 dealer 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 longer use the air conditioner until a quali
fi
ed service person con
fi
rms 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 shocks or
fi
re hazards. Please contact your local dealer or quali
fi
ed personnel for installation and
maintenance work.
When the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour, etc.) turn off power to the unit and contact your
•
local dealer. Continued operation under such circumstances may result in a failure, electric shocks or
fi
re hazards.
Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker. Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in electric shocks or
fi
re.
•
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 shocks.
CAUTION
Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Do not use the air conditioner for
•
cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this may adversely affect the performance,
quality and/or longevity of the object concerned.
Do not expose plants or animals directly to air
fl
ow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects.
•
Do not place appliances that produce naked
fl
ames in places exposed to the air
fl
ow from the unit as this may impair
•
combustion of the burner.
