PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

• Do not install, repair, open or remove the cover. It may expose you
to dangerous voltages. Ask trained, qualifi ed installers and service
mechanics to do this.
• Turning off the power supply will not prevent potential electric shock.
• The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring
regulation.
• Means for disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at
least 1/8 in. (3 mm) in all poles must be incorporated in the fi xed wiring.
• Do not expose your body directly to cool air for a long time.
• Do not insert your fi nger or any article into the air inlet/outlet.
• When an abnormality (burning smell, etc.) occurs, stop the air conditioner
and turn off the circuit breaker.
• Installation must be requested from trained, qualifi ed installers and service
mechanics. Installation requires special knowledge and skill. If customers
install on their own, it can be a cause of fi re, electric shock, injury or water
leakage.
• Do not select a location for installation where fl ammable gas may leak. If
there is any gas leakage or accumulation around the unit, it can be a cause
of fi re.
• Do not turn ON/OFF the circuit breaker or operate buttons with a wet hand.
It may be a cause of electric shock.
• Do not disassemble, modify or relocate the unit by yourself. It may become
the cause of fi re, electric shock, or water leakage. For repair or relocation,
please request service from trained, qualifi ed installers and service
mechanics.
• Do not select a location for installation where there may be excessive
water or humidity, such as a bathroom. Deterioration of insulation may be a
cause of electric shock or fi re.
• When relocating or repairing the unit, please contact trained, qualifi ed
installers and service mechanics. When there is a kink in the wiring, it may
be the cause of electric shock or fi re.
• During an error (such as a burning odor, not cooling, or not warming), stop
operating the unit and turn off the circuit breaker. Continuous operation
may be a cause of fi re, or electric shock. Please request repair or service
from trained, qualifi ed installers and service mechanics.
• Earth work should be requested from trained, qualifi ed installers and
service mechanics. Insuffi cient grounding work may be the cause of
electric shock. Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe,
lightning conductor, or telephone earth wire.
• If the indoor unit piping outlet is exposed due to relocation, close the
opening. Touching internal electrical parts may cause injury or electric
shock.
• Do not insert any material (metal, paper, or water, etc) into the air outlet or
air intake opening. Fan may be rotating at high speed inside or there are
high voltage sections, which may cause an injury or electric shock.
• You must use a independent power outlet for the power supply. If a power
outlet other than the independent outlet is used, it may cause a fi re.
• When the air-conditioning unit does not cool or warm, there may be a
leakage of refrigerant. Please consult trained, qualifi ed installers and
service mechanics. The refrigerant used in the air-conditioning unit is safe.
It will not leak under normal operating conditions but if it leaks into the
room and contacts a heat source such as a heater, or stove, it may cause a
harmful reaction.
• When water or other foreign substances enter the internal parts, stop
operating the unit immediately and turn off the circuit breaker. Operating
the unit continuously may cause fi re or electric shock. Please contact
trained, qualifi ed installers and service mechanics for repair.
• Do not clean the inside of the air-conditioning unit yourself. Please request
internal cleaning of the air-conditioning unit from trained, qualifi ed installers
and service mechanics. Incorrect cleaning may cause breakage of resin
parts or insulation defects of electrical parts, causing water leakage,
electric shock or fi re.
• Do not damage or modify the power cable. Do not connect the cable
midway, or use a multiple outlet extension cord that is shared by other
devices. Failure to do so may cause fi re.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable, expose it to heat, or pull it.
To do so may cause electrical shock or fi re.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
• Check that the circuit breaker is installed correctly. If the circuit breaker
is not properly installed, it may cause an electric shock. To check the
installation method, please contact trained, qualifi ed installers and service
mechanics.
• When using the unit in a closed room, or operating with other combustion
appliances, make sure to open a window occasionally for ventilation.
Insuffi cient ventilation may cause suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.
• Avoid operating for long periods in a high humidity environment (over 80%)
such as with the windows or doors open. There may be condensation on
the indoor unit and droplets may fall onto the furniture.
• When the unit won't be used for a long time, turn off the main switch or the
circuit breaker.
• It is recommended that maintenance be performed by trained, qualifi ed
installers and service mechanics when the unit has been operated for a
long time.
• At least once a year check if the mounting table of the outdoor unit is
damaged or not. If a damaged state is ignored, the unit may fall or over-
turn, causing an injury.
• Stand on a sturdy ladder when attaching/detaching the front panel/air
fi lter/air cleaning fi lter. Failure to do so may cause a fall or injury.
• Do not stand on the outdoor unit or place anything on the unit. It may be
the cause of injury due to falling or over-turning. Any damage to the unit
may cause an electric shock or fi re.
• Do not use combustion appliances in the direct fl ow of the air from the air-
conditioning unit. Poor combustion of a combustion appliance may cause
suffocation.
• Do not place anything around the outdoor unit or allow fallen leaves to
accumulate around it. If there are fallen leaves, small animals could enter
and contact internal electrical parts, causing a failure or fi re.
• Do not place animals and plants in places where wind from the air-
conditioning unit fl ows directly. It may have a negative infl uence on the
animal or plant.
