SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Read these
Safety Considerations for Operations
carefully
before installing air conditioner or heat pump. Make sure that
the unit operates properly during the startup operation. Instruct
the customer on how to operate and maintain the unit.
Inform customers that they should store this Operation Manual
with the Installation Manual for future reference.

equipment or property-damage accidents
only.
DANGER
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable mate-
rials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air conditioner
or heat pump such as smoke or fire will result in severe
injury or death. Turn off the power and contact your
dealer immediately.
• Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it come into
contact with fire, such as from a fan, heater, stove, or
cooking device. Exposure to this gas will result in severe
injury or death.
• For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen.
A massive leak will result in oxygen depletion, especially
in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard will result
leading to serious injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same room
as the air conditioner or heat pump, there is the danger
of oxygen deficiency which could lead to an asphyxia-
tion hazard resulting in serious injury or death. Be sure
to ventilate the room sufficiently to avoid this hazard.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials. Packing materi-
als, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, will
result in stabs or other injuries.
• Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so
that children can not play with them.
Children playing with plastic bags face the danger of
death by suffocation.
WARNING
• Contact your dealer for repair and maintenance.
Improper repair and maintenance could result in water
leakage, electric shock, and fire. Only use accessories
made by Daikin that are specifically designed for use
with the equipment and have them installed by a profes-
sional.
• Contact your dealer to move and reinstall the air condi-
tioner or heat pump. Incomplete installation could result
in water leakage, electric shock, and fire.
• Never let the indoor unit or the remote controller get wet.
Water could result in an electric shock or a fire.
• Never use flammable spray such as hair spray, lacquer,
or paint near the unit. Flammable spray could result in a
fire.
• When a fuse blows out, never replace it with one of
incorrect ampere ratings or different wires. Always
replace any blown fuse with a fuse of the same specifi-
cation.
• Never remove the fan guard of the unit. A fan rotating at
high speed without the fan guard is very dangerous and
could result in injury.
• Never inspect or service the unit by yourself. Contact a
qualified service person to perform this work.
• Turn off all electrical power before doing any mainte-
nance to avoid the risk of serious electric shock; never
sprinkle or spill water or liquids on the unit.
• Do not touch the switch with wet fingers.
Touching a switch with wet fingers could result in elec-
tric shock.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit to pre-
vent injury.
• The heat exchanger fins are sharp enough to cut. To
avoid injury wear gloves or cover the fins while working
around them.
• Do not put a finger or other objects into the air inlet or air
outlet. The fan is rotating at high speed and could result
in injury.
• Check the unit foundation for damage on a continuous
basis, especially if it has been in use for a long time. If
left in a damaged condition the unit may fall and could
result in injury.
• Placing a flower vase or other containers with water or
other liquids on the unit could result in a shock or fire if
a spill occurs.
• Do not touch the air outlet or horizontal blades while the
swing flap is in operation could result in fingers getting
caught and injured.
• Never touch the internal parts of the controller. Do not
remove the front panel because some parts inside are
dangerous to touch. To check and adjust internal parts,
contact your dealer.
• Be sure to ground the unit.
Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or tele-
phone ground. Incomplete grounding may cause electri-
cal shock, or fire. A high surge current from lightning or
other sources may cause damage to the air conditioner
or heat pump.
• Although this is a recognized measure for additional
protection, with the grounding system in North America,
a dedicated GFCI may not be necessary.
