Meanings of DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE Symbols:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury. It may also be used to alert

Be sure to ground the air conditioner.
Never allow the air conditioner or remote controller to get
wet.
Never touch the air conditioner (including the remote
controller) with a wet hand.
DANGER
• For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, especially in basements,
and an asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious injury or death.
• Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire such as from a fan heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure
to this gas could cause severe injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air conditioner such as smoke or fire could result in severe injury or death.
Turn off the power and contact your dealer immediately for instructions.
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same room as the air conditioner, there is the danger of oxygen deficiency which could
lead to an asphyxiation 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 materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries. Tear apart and throw away
plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them. Children playing with plastic bags face the danger of death by
suffocation.
WARNING
• It is not good for health to expose your body to the air flow for a long time.
• Do not put your finger or other objects into the air outlet or inlet as the fan is rotating at high speed and could cause injury. Always
keep small children away from the unit during operation.
• Do not attempt to repair, relocate, modify or reinstall the air conditioner by yourself. Incorrect work or modifications could cause
electric shocks, fire or other damage.
For repairs and reinstallation, consult your Daikin dealer for advice and information.
• If the air conditioner is not cooling (heating) properly, the refrigerant may be leaking, contact your authorized dealer or qualified
service repairman.
When making repairs which requires adding refrigerant, consult with your authorized dealer or qualified service repairman.
• Do not attempt to install the air conditioner by yourself. Improper installation could result in water leakage, electric shocks or fire. For
installation, consult your authorized dealer or a qualified technician.
CAUTION
• The air conditioner must be grounded. Improper grounding may result in electric shocks. Do not connect the grounding wire to a gas
pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or a telephone ground line. Follow all local and state electrical codes.
• Do not use this unit for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art.
• Never expose little children, plants or animals directly to the air flow.
• Do not block air inlets nor outlets. Impaired air flow may result in poor performance or equipment problems.
• Do not stand, sit, or place objects on the outdoor unit. To avoid injury, do not remove the fan guard.
