• Do not place items under the indoor unit as they may be
damaged 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 may result.
• Do not wash the air conditioner or heat pump with
excessive water. An electric shock or fire may result.
• Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with water.
Water entering the controller may cause 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 cause 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 5 minutes before turning
off the power. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
• 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 make the plastics parts break and cause 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 cause 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 can cause the unit
to malfunction, and cause 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 may be damaged.
• Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote controller.
It may cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not place appliances that produce open flames in
places that are exposed to the airflow of the unit or under
the indoor unit. It may cause 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 fail to display the data.
• Do not wipe the controller operation panel with benzene,
thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may get
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 drainpipe may be 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.
