NOTE
Never press the button of the remote control-
•
ler 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
•
fl ames in places that are exposed to the air
fl ow of the unit or under the indoor unit. It
may cause incomplete combustion or defor-
mation of the unit due to the heat.
Do not wipe the controller operation panel
•
with benzine, thinner, chemical dustcloth, etc.
The panel may get discolored or the coating
peeled off. If it is heavily dirty, soak a cloth in
water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze it
well and wipe the panel clean. And wipe it
with another dry cloth.
Do not expose the controller to direct sun-
•
light. The LCD display can become discol-
ored and may fail to display the data.
Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrig-
•
erant, 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
•
suffi ciently ventilated area and not surround-
ed by obstacles. Do not use the air condition-
er 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 pow-
er 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 elec-
tromagnetic 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 protec-
tion 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 suffi ciently withstand the
weight of the air conditioner or heat pump
yet can suppress the operating sound and
vibration of the air conditioner or heat
pump.
b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of
the outside unit or the operating sound of
the outside unit does not annoy neighbors.
Make sure that there are no obstacles close
•
to the outside unit. Obstacles close to the
outside unit may drop the performance of the
outside unit or increase the operating sound
of the outside 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 dis-
charged from the drainpipe while the air con-
ditioner 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.
Carry out drain piping properly to ensure
•
complete drainage.
If drain piping is not carried out properly,
drain will not fl ow out. Then, dirt and debris
may be accumulated in the drain pipe and
may cause water leakage. If it occurs, stop
the air conditioner and call your dealer for
assistance.
