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 hu -
midity is above 80% or if the drain outlet gets blocked.
• Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by turn -
ing 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 ex -
cessive water. An electric shock or fire may result.
• Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with wa -
ter. 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 depos -
ited 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 five minutes before
turning off the power. Otherwise, water leakage may
occur.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young chil -
dren or infirm persons without supervision.
• The remote controller should be kept away from chil -
dren 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 con -
ditioner 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 con -
troller. 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 un -
der the indoor unit. It may cause incomplete combus -
tion 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 ben -
zene, 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 suffi -
ciently ventilated area and not surrounded by obsta -
cles. 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 volt -
age 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 electromag -
netic 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 of the air condi -
tioner or heat pump.
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 drain -
pipe 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.
