NOTE
• For environmental conservation, it is strongly recommended that the indoor and outdoor units of the air
conditioner in use be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure efficient operation of the air conditioner.
When the air conditioner is operated for a long time, periodic maintenance (once a year) is recommended.
Furthermore, regularly check the outdoor unit for rust and scratches, and remove them or apply rustproof
treatment, if necessary.
As a general rule, when an indoor unit is operated for 8 hours or more daily, clean the indoor unit and outdoor
unit at least once every 3 months. Ask a professional for this cleaning/maintenance work.
Such maintenance can extend the life of the product though it involves the owner’s expense.
Failure to clean the indoor and outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, freezing, water leakage,
and even compressor failure.

place and to observe the following items.
If the air conditioner is inappropriately installed by yourself, it may cause electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
Be sure to clean the heat exchanger with pressurized water.
If an commercially detergent (strong alkaline or acid cleaning agent) is used, the surface treatment of the heat
exchanger will be marred, which may degrade the self cleaning performance. For details, contact the dealer.
