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 install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may
result in electric shocks or fire.
Be sure to earth the unit.
Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning con-
ductor 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.
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.
Start or stop the air conditioner with the
remote controller. Never use the power circuit
breaker for this purpose.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or water leakage.
Furthermore, if an automatic reset control is pro-
vided against power failure and the power is recov-
ered, the fan will rotate suddenly and may cause
injury.
Do not use the product in the atmosphere con-
taminated 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 solvents
such as paint thinner.
The use of organic solvents may cause crack dam-
age to the product, electric shocks, or fire.
Be sure to use a dedicated power supply for
the air conditioner.
The use of any other power supply may cause
heat generation, fire, or product failures.
Consult your dealer regarding cleaning the
inside of the air conditioner.
Improper cleaning may cause breakage of plastic
parts, water leakage and other damage as well as
electric shocks.
Do not operate the air conditioner when using
a room fumigation - type insecticide.
Failure to observe could cause the chemicals to
become deposited in the unit, which could endan-
ger the health of those who are hypersensitive to
chemicals.
CAUTION
Do not use the air conditioner for purposes
other than those for which it is intended.
Do not use the air conditioner for cooling precision
instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art
as this may adversely affect the performance,
quality and/or longevity of the object concerned.
Do not remove the outdoor unit’s fan guard.
The guard protects against the unit’s high speed
fan, which may cause injury.
To avoid oxygen deficiency, ensure that the
room is adequately ventilated if equipment
such as a burner is used together with the air
conditioner.
After prolonged use, check the unit stand and
its mounts for damage.
If left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and
cause injury.
Do not place flammable sprays or operate
spray containers near the unit as this may
result in fire.
Do not put flammable containers, such as
spray cans, within 1 m from the air outlet.
The containers may explode because the warm air
output of the indoor or outdoor unit will affect them.
Before cleaning, be sure to stop unit operation,
turn the power circuit breaker off or remove
the power cord.
Otherwise, an electric shock and injury may result.
Do not wipe the controller operation panel with
benzine, thinner, chemical dustcloth, etc.
The panel may get discolored or the coating
peeled off. If it is heavily dirty, soak a cloth in
water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze it well
and wipe the panel clean. And wipe it with another
dry cloth.
To avoid electric shocks, do not operate with
wet hands.
Do not place objects that are susceptible to
moisture directly beneath the indoor or out-
door units.
Under certain conditions, condensation on the
main unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain
blockage may cause dripping, resulting in fouling
or failure of the object concerned.
Do not place appliances that produce naked
flames in places exposed to the air flow from
the unit as this may impair combustion of the
burner.
Do not place heaters directly below the unit, as
resulting heat can cause deformation.
Do not allow a child to mount on the outdoor
unit or avoid placing any object on it.
Falling or tumbling may result in injury.
