EDUS04-924A Operation Manual Safety Considerations
Room Air Conditioners H-Series 47
• Placing a flower vase or other containers with water or
other liquids on the unit could cause a shock or fire if
a spill occurs.
• Do not touch the air outlet or horizontal blades while
the swing flap is in operation because fingers could
get 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.
• 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
humidity is above 80% or if the drain outlet gets
blocked.
• Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by
turning 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
excessive water. An electric shock or fire may result.
• Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with
water. 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
deposited 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
children or infirm persons without supervision.
• The remote controller should be kept away from
children 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
conditioner or heat pump as they can cut and cause
injury.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outside
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.
• 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
controller. It may cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not place appliances that produce open flames in
places that are exposed to the air flow of the unit or
under the indoor unit. It may cause incomplete
combustion 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
benzene, 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
sufficiently ventilated area and not surrounded by
obstacles. 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 voltage
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
electromagnetic 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.
