Do not use the air conditioner in places with exces-
sive oily smoke, such as cooking rooms, or in places
with flammable gas, corrosive gas, or metal dust.
Using the air conditioner in such places may cause a fire
or air conditioner failures.
Do not use flammable materials (e.g., hairspray or
insecticide) near the air conditioner.
Do not clean the air conditioner with organic sol-
vents such as paint thinner.
The use of organic solvents may cause crack damage to
the air conditioner, electric shocks, or a fire.
Be sure to use a dedicated power supply for the air
conditioner.
The use of any other power supply may cause heat gen-
eration, a fire, or air conditioner failures.
Consult your local 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.
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 instru-
ments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this may
adversely affect the performance, quality and/or longev-
ity of the object concerned.
Do not remove the outdoor unit’s outlet side grille.
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.
Do not place flammable sprays or operate spray con-
tainers near the air conditioner as this may result in
a 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 from
the indoor or outdoor unit will affect them.
Before cleaning, be sure to stop the air conditioner
operation, turn the power circuit breaker off.
Otherwise, an electric shocks and injury may result.
To avoid electric shocks, do not operate with wet
hands.
Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture
directly beneath the indoor or outdoor units.
Under certain conditions, condensation on the unit or
refrigerant piping, 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 airflow from the air condi-
tioner as this may impair combustion of the burner.
Do not place heaters directly below the indoor 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.
Be sure that children, plants or animals are not
exposed directly to airflow from the indoor unit, as
adverse effects may ensue.
Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this
may result in electric shocks or a fire.
Do not place water containers (flower vases, etc.) on
the indoor unit, as this may result in electric shocks
or a fire.
Do not install the air conditioner at any place where
there is a danger of flammable gas leakage.
In the event of a gas leakage, build-up of gas near the air
conditioner may result in a fire.
Carry out drain piping properly to ensure complete
drainage.
If drain piping is not carried out properly, drain will not
flow out. Then, dirt and debris may be accumulated in the
drain piping and may cause water leakage. If it occurs,
stop the air conditioner and call your local dealer for
assistance.
The appliance is not intended for use by unattended
young children or persons who are incompetent to
operate air conditioners.
It may result in injury or electric shocks.
Children should be watched so that they do not play
with the indoor unit or its remote controller.
Accidental operation by a child may result in injury or
electric shocks.
To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminum
fins of the air conditioner.
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the out-
door unit and do not let leaves and other debris
accumulate around the unit.
Leaves are a hotbed for small animals which can enter
the unit. Once in the unit, such animals can cause mal-
functions, smoke or a fire when making contact with elec-
trical parts.
Do not block air inlets nor outlets.
Impaired airflow may result in insufficient performance or
trouble.
Do not let children play on or around the outdoor
unit.
If they touch the unit carelessly, injury may be caused.
Turn off the power when the air conditioner is not
used for long periods of time.
Otherwise, the air conditioner may get hot or catch on a
fire due to dust accumulation.
Never touch the internal parts of the remote control-
ler.
Do not remove the front panel. Touching certain internal
parts will cause electric shocks and damage to the
remote controller. Please consult your local dealer about
checking and adjustment of internal parts.
Do not leave the remote controller wherever there is
a risk of wetting.
If water gets into the remote controller there is a risk of
electrical leakage and damage to electronic components.
Watch your steps at the time of air filter cleaning or
inspection.
High-place work is required, to which utmost attention
must be paid.
If the scaffold is unstable, you may fall or topple down,
thus causing injury.
