Outside Unit
Safety Precautions
Ventilate before operating air conditioner when gas
leaked out.
• It may cause explosion, fire, and burn.
Securely install the cover of control box and the panel.
• If the cover and panel are not installed securely, dust or water may
enter the outside unit and fire or electric shock may result.
If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to prevent the
refrigerant concentration from exceeding the safety limit when the refrigerant leaks.
• Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate measures to prevent the safety limit from being exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the
safety limit to be exceeded, harzards due to lack of oxygen in the room could result.

Operation
Do not damage or use an unspecified power cord.
• There is risk of fire, electric shock, explosion, or injury.
Use a dedicated outlet for this appliance.
• There is risk of fire or electrical shock.
Be cautious that water could not enter the product.
• There is risk of fire, electric shock, or product damage.
Do not touch the power switch with wet hands.
• There is risk of fire, electric shock, explosion, or injury.
When the product is soaked (flooded or
submerged), contact an Authorized Service Center.
• There is risk of fire or electric shock.
Be cautious not to touch the sharp edges when
installing.
• It may cause injury.
Take care to ensure that nobody could step on or fall
onto the outside unit.
• This could result in personal injury and product damage.
Do not open the inlet grille of the product during oper-
ation. (Do not touch the electrostatic filter, if the unit is
so equipped.)
• There is risk of physical injury, electric shock, or product failure.

Installation
Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installa-
tion or repair of product.
• Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of product.
Do not install the product where the noise or hot air from
the outside unit could damage the neighborhoods.
• It may cause a problem for your neighbors.
Keep level even when installing the product.
• To avoid vibration or water leakage.
Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
• If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an explosion may result.
Use power cables of sufficient current
carrying capacity and rating.
• Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause a fire.
Do not use the product for special purposes, such as pre-
serving foods, works of art, etc. It is a consumer air condi-
tioner, not a precision refrigeration system.
• There is risk of damage or loss of property.
Keep the unit away from children. The heat exchanger is
very sharp.
• It can cause the injury, such as cutting the finger. Also the damaged fin may
result in degradation of capacity.
When installting the unit in a hospital, communication sta-
tion, or similar place, provide sufficient protection against
noise.
• The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequency medical equipment, or
radio communication equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate erroneously, or
fail to operate. On the other hand, the air conditioner may affect such equipment by cre-
ating noise that disturbs medical treatment or image broadcasting.
