AFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Do not step on an unstable bench to operate or clean
the unit.
• This may cause injury if you fall down.
Do not pull the power cord.
• This may cause a portion of the core wire to break, which
may cause overheating or fi re.
Do not charge or disassemble the batteries, and do not
throw them into a fi re.
• This may cause the batteries to leak, or cause a fi re or
explosion.
Do not operate the unit for more than 4 hours at high hu-
midity (80% RH or more) and/or with windows or outside
door left open.
• This may cause the water condensation in the air conditioner,
which may drip down, wetting or damaging the furniture.
• The water condensation in the air conditioner may contribute
to growth of fungi, such as mold.
Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing
food, raising animals, growing plants, or preserving preci-
sion devices or art objects.
• This may cause deterioration of quality, or harm to animals
and plants.
Do not expose combustion appliances to direct airfl ow.
• This may cause incomplete combustion.
Before cleaning the unit, switch it OFF and disconnect the
power plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• This may cause injury, since the fan inside rotates at high
speeds during operation.
When the unit will be unused for a long time, disconnect
the power plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• The unit may accumulate dirt, which may cause overheating
or fi re.
Replace all batteries of the remote controller with new
ones of the same type.
• Using an old battery together with a new one may cause
overheating, leakage, or explosion.
If the battery fl uid comes in contact with your skin or
clothes, wash them thoroughly with clean water.
• If the battery fl uid comes in contact with your eyes, wash them
thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical
attention.
Ensure that the area is well-ventilated when the unit is
operated together with a combustion appliance.
• Inadequate ventilation may cause oxygen starvation.
Turn the breaker OFF when you hear thunder and there is
a possibility of a lightning strike.
• The unit may be damaged if lightning strikes.
After the air conditioner is used for several seasons, per-
form inspection and maintenance in addition to normal
cleaning.
• Dirt or dust in the unit may create an unpleasant odor or clog
the drain passage, and cause water to leak from the indoor
unit. Consult your dealer for inspection and maintenance,
which require specialized knowledge and skills.
WARNING
Consult your dealer for installing the air conditioner.
• It should not be installed by the user since installation
requires specialized knowledge and skills. An improperly
installed air conditioner may cause water leakage, fi re, or
electric shock.
Provide a dedicated power supply for the air conditioner.
• A non-dedicated power supply may cause overheating or
fi re.
Do not install the unit where fl ammable gas could leak.
• If gas leaks and accumulates around the outdoor unit, it may
cause an explosion.
Earth the unit correctly.
• Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe,
lightning rod, or a telephone ground wire. Improper earthing
may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not install the unit where fl ammable gas could leak.
• If gas leaks and collects around the unit, it may cause an
explosion.
Install an earth leakage breaker depending on the installa-
tion location of the air conditioner (such as highly humid
areas).
• If an earth leakage breaker is not installed, it may cause
electric shock.
Ensure that the drain water is properly drained.
• If the drain passage is improper, water may drip down from
the indoor/outdoor unit, wetting and damaging the furni-
ture.
In case of an abnormal condition
Immediately stop operating the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
Do not operate switches with wet hands.
• This may cause electric shock.
Do not clean the air conditioner with water or place an
object that contains water, such as a fl ower vase, on it.
• This may cause fi re or electric shock.
Do not step on or place any object on the outdoor unit.
• This may cause injury if you or the object falls down.
For installation
IMPORTANT
Dirty fi lters cause condensation in the air conditioner which will con-
tribute to the growth of fungi such as mold. It is therefore recommended
to clean air fi lters every 2 weeks.
