CAUTION

Installation

• Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation or repair of product.

- Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of product.

• Do not install the product where the noise or hot air from the outside unit could

damage the neighborhoods.
- It may cause a problem for your neighbors.

• Keep level even when installing the product.

- To avoid vibration or water leakage.

• Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.

- If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an explosion may result.

• Use power cables of sufficient current carrying capacity and rating.

- Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause a fire.

• Do not use the product for special purposes, such as preserving foods, works of

art, etc. It is a consumer air conditioner, not a precision refrigeration system.
- There is risk of damage or loss of property.

• When installting the unit in a hospital, communication station, or similar place,

provide sufficient protection against noise.
- The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequency medical

equipment, or radio communication equipment may cause the air condi-
tioner to operate erroneously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the air
conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise that disturbs med-
ical treatment or image broadcasting.

Operation

• Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.

- Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the performance of the air

conditioner or damage its parts.

• Do not block the inlet or outlet.

- It may cause failure of appliance or accident.

• Make the connections securely so that the outside force of the cable may not be

applied to the terminals.
- Inadequate connection and fastening may generate heat and cause a fire.

• Be sure the installation area does not deteriorate with age.

- If the base collapses, the air conditioner could fall with it, causing property

damage, product failure, or personal injury.

• Install and insulate the drain hose to ensure that water is drained away properly

based on the installation manual.
- A bad connection may cause water leakage.

• Be very careful about product transportation.

- Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than 20 kg.
- Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any PP bands for a means

of transportation. It is dangerous.

- Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Doing so may cut your fingers.
- When transporting the outside unit , suspending it at the specified positions on

the unit base. Also support the outside unit at four points so that it cannot slip
sideways.

• 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 may not play with

them. If children play with a plastic bag which was not torn apart, they face the risk
of suffocation.

• Turn on the power at least 6 hours before starting operation.

- Starting operation immediately after turning on the main power switch can re-

sult in severe damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch turned on dur-
ing the operational season.

• Do not touch any of the refrigerant piping during and after operation.

- It can cause a burn or frostbite.

• Do not operate the air conditioner with the panels or guards removed.
