Safety precautions
WARNING
• Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in
water leakage, electric shocks or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or qualified person-
nel for installation and maintenance work.
• When the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour, etc.) turn off power to the unit
and contact your local dealer. Continued operation under such circumstances may result in a failure,
electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker. Failure to install the earth leakage breaker may result in
electric shocks or fire.
• The air conditioner must be earthed. Incomplete earthing may result in electric shocks. Do
not connect the earth line to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or a telephone earth line.
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 con-
cerned.
• Do not expose plants or animals directly to 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 air inlets nor 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.
• The appliance is not intended for use by unattended young children or infirm persons. Impairment of
bodily functions and harm to health may result.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Avoid impacts to the indoor and outdoor units, or otherwise product damage may result.
• Do not place flammable items, such as spray cans, within 1m 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 shocks or fire.
• Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this may result in electric shocks or fire.
• Do not place water containers (vases etc.) above the unit, as this may result in electric shocks or fire
hazards.
