WARNING
---------
•
To avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit
when harmful gases (e.g. flammable or corrosive) are
detected near the unit.
0
•
Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool air from the air conditioner,
or to air that is too cool, can be harmful to your physical condition and health.
• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air
inlet or outlet. Product damage may result due to contact with the
air conditioner's high-speed fan blades.
• Do not attempt to repair, dismantle, reinstall or modify the air conditioner
yourself as this may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire hazards.
• Do not use flammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise
fire may result.
• Do not use a refrigerant other than the one indicated on the outdoor
unit (R32) when installing, moving or repairing. Using other refrigerants
may cause trouble or damage to the unit, and personal injury.
• To avoid electric shock, do not operate with wet hands.
• Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage. If the air conditioner is
not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool air, refrigerant leakage
could be the cause. Consult your service centre for assistance. The
0
refrigerant within the air conditioner is safe and normally does not leak.
However, in the event of a leakage, contact with a naked burner, heater or
cooker may result in generation of noxious gas. Do not use the air
conditioner until a qualified service person confirms that the leakage has
been repaired.
• Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself.
Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric
shock or fire hazards. Please contact your local service centre or
qualified personnel for installation and maintenance work.
• If the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour,
etc.), turn off power to the unit and contact your local service
centre. Continued operation under such circumstances may
result in a failure, electric shock or fire hazards.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage circuit breaker. Failure to install
the earth leakage circuit breaker may result in electric shock or fire.
• Be sure to earth the unit. Do not earth the unit to a utility
e
pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth lead.
Imperfect earthing may result in electric shock.
,&_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 expose plants or animals directly to the airflow from the
unit as this may cause adverse effects .
• Do not place appliances that produce naked flames in places exposed
to the airflow from the unit as this may impair combustion of the burner.
• Do not block the air inlets or outlets. Impaired airflow may result
in insufficient performance or trouble.
• Do not sit on the outdoor unit, put things on the unit, or pull the unit.
Doing so may cause accidents, such as falling or toppling down,
thus resulting in injury, product malfunctioning, or product damage.
• Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture directly beneath
the indoor or outdoor units. Under certain conditions, condensation on
the main unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may
cause dripping, resulting in fouling or failure of the object concerned.
• After prolonged use, check the unit stand and its mounts for damage. If
they are left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and cause injury.
• To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminium fins of the
indoor or outdoor units.
• T he 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.
• Avoid impacts to the indoor and outdoor units, or otherwise
product damage may result.
• Do not place flammable items, such as spray cans, within 1 m of
the air outlet. The spray cans may explode as a result of hot air
from the indoor or outdoor units.
•
Be careful not to let pets urinate on the air conditioner. Urination
on the air conditioner may result in electric shock or fire.
• Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this may result in
electric shock or fire.
• Do not place water containers (vases, etc.) above the unit, as this
may result in electric shock or fire hazards if they should topple over.
• Do not insert the batteries in the wrong po/-) orientation
as this may result in short circuiting, fire, or battery leakage.
• To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is
adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner is
used together with the air conditioner.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop unit operation and turn off
0
the circuit breaker. Otherwise, an electric shock and injury may result.
• Only connect the air conditioner to the specified power supply
circuit. Power supplies other than the one specified may result in
electric shock, overheating and fires.
• Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Imperfect
drainage may cause wetting of the building, furniture, etc.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor unit and 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, such animals can cause malfunctions,
smoke or fire if they come into contact with electrical parts.
• Do not place objects around the indoor unit.
Doing so may have an adverse influence on the performance,
product quality, and life of the air conditioner.
• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or with lack of operation
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the appliance use by person responsible for their safety.
Keep out of children's reach to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
