WARNING
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.
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 fire hazards.
Consult your local dealer about installation work.
Doing the work yourself may result in water leak-
age, electric shocks or fire hazards.
Consult your local dealer regarding modification,
repair and maintenance of the air conditioner.
Improper workmanship may result in water leak-
age, electric shocks or fire hazards.
Do not place objects, including rods, your
fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet.
Injury may result due to contact with the air con-
ditioner's highspeed fan blades.
Beware of fire 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 con-
ditioner is safe and normally does not leak. How-
ever, 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 qualified service person
confirms that the leakage has been repaired.
Consult your local dealer regarding what to
do in case of refrigerant leakage.
When the air conditioner is to be installed in a
small room, it is necessary to take proper mea-
sures so that the amount of any leaked refriger-
ant does not exceed the concentration limit in the
event of a leakage. Otherwise, this may lead to
an accident due to oxygen depletion.
Contact professional personnel about attach-
ment of accessories and be sure to use only
accessories specified by the manufacturer.
If a defect results from your own workmanship, it
may result in water leaks, electric shock or fire.
Consult your local dealer regarding reloca-
tion and reinstallation of the air conditioner.
Improper installation work may result in leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards.
Be sure to use fuses with the correct ampere
reading.
Do not use improper fuses, copper or other wires
as a substitute, as this may result in electric
shock, fire, injury or damage to the unit.
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
or fire.
A high surge current from lightning or other
sources may cause damage to the air conditioner.
Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may
result in electric shocks or fire.
Consult the dealer if the air conditioner sub-
merges owing to a natural disaster, such as a
flood or typhoon.
Do not operate the air conditioner in that case, or
otherwise a malfunction, electric shock, or fire
may result.
Do not start or stop operating the air condi-
tioner with the power supply breaker turned
ON or OFF.
Otherwise, fire or water leakage may result. Fur-
thermore, the fan will rotate abruptly if power fail-
ure compensation is enabled, which may result
in injury.
Do not use the product in the atmosphere
contaminated with oil vapor, such as cooking
oil or machine oil vapor.
Oil vapor may cause crack damage, electric
shocks, or fire.
Do not use the product in places with exces-
sive oily smoke, such as cooking rooms, or
in places with flammable gas, corrosive gas,
or metal dust.
Using the product in such places may cause fire
or product failures.
Do not use flammable materials (e.g., hair-
spray or insecticide) near the product.
Do not clean the product with organic sol-
vents such as paint thinner.
The use of organic solvents may cause crack
damage to the product, electric shocks, or fire.
