WARNING
If the air conditioner operates but does not cool or heat (depending on model) the room, consult your dealer
since there may be a refrigerant leak. Be sure to ask the service representative whether there is refrigerant
leakage or not when repairs are carried out.
The refrigerant charged in the air conditioner is safe. Refrigerant normally does not leak, however, if refrigerant
gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the fire of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful sub-
stances will be generated.
Electrical work
■
Provide an exclusive circuit for the power supply of the air conditioner.
■
Be sure to observe the breaker capacity.
■
Use the correct power (voltage and frequency) indicated on the unit to operate the air conditioner and use only
fuses or breakers with specified capacity. Do not use pieces of wire instead of fuses.
