• Do not place water containers (flower vases, etc.)
on the unit, as this may result in electric shocks or fire.
• Do not operate with the control panel lid open.
If water gets inside the panel, it may result in equipment
failure or electric shock.
• Do not use flammable materials (e.g., hairspray or
insecticide) near the product.
• Do not place burners or heaters in places exposed
to the air flow from the unit as this may impair
combustion of the burner or heater.
• Do not wipe the controller panel with benzene or
other organic solvent.
This will cause discoloration and/or peeling. If the panel
needs cleaning, use a damp cloth with some water-diluted
neutral detergent. Wipe with a dry cloth afterwards.
• Be sure to use a dedicated power supply for the air
conditioner.
The use of any other power supply may cause heat
generation, fire, or product failures.
• Consult your 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
instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this
may adversely affect the performance, quality and/or
longevity of the object concerned.
• Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture
directly beneath the indoor units.
Under certain conditions, condensation on the main unit
or water pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may
cause dripping, resulting in fouling or failure of the object
concerned.
• To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is
adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner
is used together with the air conditioner.
• After prolonged use, check the unit stand and its
mounts for damage.
If left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and
cause injury.
• Do not place flammable sprays or operate spray
containers near the unit as this may result in fire.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop unit operation, turn
the breaker off or remove the power cord.
Otherwise, an electric shock and injury may result.
• To avoid electric shocks, do not operate with wet hands.
• Do not place appliances that produce naked flames
in places exposed to the air flow from the unit as this
may impair combustion of the burner.
• Do not place heaters directly below the unit, as
resulting heat can cause deformation.
24
• Do not block air inlets or outlets.
Impaired air flow may result in insufficient performance
or trouble.
• Be sure that children, plants or animals are not
exposed directly to airflow from the unit, as adverse
effects may ensue.
• Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this
may result in electric shocks or fire.
• Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage.
Imperfect drainage may cause wetting of the building,
furniture etc.
• Ensure that the remote controller is not exposed to
direct sunlight.
This will cause discoloration of the LCD display with
resulting loss of readability.
• Never operate remote controller buttons with hard,
pointed objects.
This may result in remote controller damage.
• Do not operate the air conditioner when using a
room fumigation type insecticide.
Fumigation chemicals deposited in the unit could
endanger the health of those who are hypersensitive
to touch chemicals.
• Do not place flammable sprays near the unit as this
can cause explosions.
• 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 fire hazards.
• Do not put flammable containers, such as spray
cans, within 1 m from the blow-off mouth.
The containers may explode because the warm air
output of the indoor or outdoor unit will affect them.
• Arrange the drain to ensure complete drainage.
If proper drainage from the indoor drain pipe does not
occur during air conditioner operation, there could be a
blockage due to dirt and debris build-up in the pipe. This
may result in a water leakage from the indoor unit. Under
these circumstances, stop air conditioner operation and
consult your dealer for assistance.
• The appliance is not intended for use by unattended
young children or infirm persons.
Impairment of bodily functions and harm to health may result.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the unit or its remote controller.
Accidental operation by a child may result in impairment
of bodily functions and harm health.
• To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or
aluminium fins of the unit.
• Turn off the main power switch when the air
conditioner is not to be used for prolonged periods.
When the main power switch is left on, some electrical
power (watts) is still consumed even if the air conditioner
is not operating. Therefore, switch off the main power
switch to save energy. When resuming operation, to
ensure smooth running, turn on the main power switch
6 hours before operating the air conditioner again.
