-If the unit is used in areas exposed to large amounts of oil, steam, organic solvents, or corrosive
gases (such as ammonia, sulfuric compounds, or acids), or areas where acidic/alkaline solutions
or special chemical sprays are used frequently, it may significantly reduce the performance and
corrode the internal parts, resulting in refrigerant leakage, water leakage, injury, electric shock,
malfunction, smoke, or fire.
Do not change the settings of the safety or protection devices.
-Forcing the unit to operate by disabling the safety devices, such as the pressure switch or the
thermal switch, may result in bursting, fire, or explosion.
-Operating the unit with a safety device whose settings have been changed may result in
bursting, fire, or explosion.
-Using safety devices other than those specified by Mitsubishi Electric may result in bursting, fire,
or explosion.
Do not alter or modify the unit.
-Doing so will result in refrigerant leakage, water leakage, serious injury, electric shock, or fire.
Do not wet the electrical parts.
