●
Be sure to establish a ground.
Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or telephone
ground. Incomplete grounding may cause electrical shock, or
fire. A high surge current from lightning or other sources may
cause damage to the air conditioner.
●
Although this is a recognized measure for additional protection,
with the grounding system in North America, a dedicated GFCI
may not be necessary.
CAUTION
●
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 it could result in damage
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 could result.
●
Do not wash the air conditioner or heat pump with excessive
water. An electric shock or fire could result.
●
Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with water. Water
entering the controller could result in 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 result in 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 could result.
●
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 result in the plastics parts break resulting in 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 could result in injury.
●
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor 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 result in the unit malfunctioning,
and could result in smoke or fire when they make contact with
electrical parts.
NOTE
●
Never press the button of the remote controller with a hard,
pointed object. The remote controller result in damage.
●
Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote controller. It
may result in the unit malfunctioning.
●
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 result in 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 result in fail to display the data.
●
Do not wipe the controller operation panel with benzene, thinner,
chemical dust cloth, etc. The result may be that the panel
becomes 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.
●
Pay Attention to Operating Sound. Be sure to use the following
places:
a.
Places that can sufficiently withstand the weight of the air
conditioner or heat pump yet can suppress the operating
sound and vibration.
b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the outdoor unit
or the operating sound of the outdoor unit does not annoy
neighbors.
●
Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the outdoor unit.
Obstacles close to the outdoor unit may drop the performance
of the outdoor unit or increase the operating sound of the
outdoor unit.
●
Consult your dealer if the air conditioner or heat pump in
operation generates unusual noise.
●
Make sure that the drainpipe is installed properly to drain water.
If no water is discharged from the drainpipe while the air
conditioner or heat pump is in the cooling mode, the result may
be that the drainpipe becomes clogged with dust or dirt and
water leakage from the indoor unit may occur. Stop operating
the air conditioner or heat pump and contact your dealer.
[Place of Installation]

Locations where equipment that produces electromagnetic waves
is found.
h.
Places with an acid or alkaline mist.
i.
Places where fallen leaves are accumulated or weeds grow close
together.
●
Take snow protection measures.
Contact your local dealer for the details of snow protection measures,
such as the use of a snow protection hood.
[Electrical Work]
●
Do not attempt to conduct electrical work or grounding work
unless you are licensed to do so.
Consult with your local dealer for electrical work and grounding work.
●
Use a dedicated circuit for the air conditioner.
[Pay Attention to Operating Sound]
●
Be sure to use the following places.
a.

conditioner and suppress the operating sound and vibration of the
air conditioner.
b.
Places where warm air from the air outlet of the outdoor unit or the
operating sound of the outdoor unit does not annoy neighbors.
●
Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the outdoor unit.
Obstacles close to the outdoor unit may drop the performance of the
