purposes other than comfort cooling or heat-
ing. 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

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. Other-

Do not wash the air conditioner with exces-
•

•
splashed with water. Water entering the con-
troller may cause an electric shock or dam-
age the internal electronic parts.
Do not operate the air conditioner when us-
•
ing 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 hyper-

Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fi n of
•
the air conditioner as they can cut and cause
injury.
Do not place objects in direct proximity of
•
the outside unit. Do not let leaves and other
