SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To gain full advantage of the air conditioner's
functions and to avoid malfunction due to mishandling,
we recommend that you read this instruction manual
carefully before use.
• This air conditioner is classified under "appliances not
accessible to the general public". (The unit is to be
installed at a minimum height of 2.5 m.)
• The precautions described herein are classified as
WARNING and CAUTION. They both contain important
information regarding safety. Be sure to observe all
precautions without fail.
• There are two kinds of safety precaution and tips
listed in the following.
WARNING ........ Failure to follow these instructions
properly may result in personal injury or
loss of life.
CAUTION ......... Failure to observe these instructions
properly may result in property damage
or personal injury, which may be serious
depending on the circumstances.
• After reading, keep this manual in a convenient place
so that you can refer to it whenever necessary. If the
equipment is transferred to a new user, be sure also to
hand over the manual.
• Read the precautions thoroughly to avoid misuse of
the equipment.
WARNING
• Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool or
warm air from the air conditioner, or to air that is too
cool or too warm can be harmful to your physical
condition and health.
• When the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving
off a burning odour, etc.), turn off the power to the
air conditioner and contact your local dealer.
Continued operation under such circumstances may
result in a failure, electric shocks or a fire.
• Consult your local dealer about installation work.
Doing the work yourself may result in water leakage,
electric shocks or a fire.
• Consult your local dealer regarding modification,
repair and maintenance of the air conditioner.
Improper workmanship may result in water leakage,
electric shocks or a fire.
• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers,
etc., in the air inlet or outlet.
Injury may result due to contact with the air conditioner's
high-speed fan blades.

• Beware of a fire in case of refrigerant leakage.
If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not
generating cool or warm air, refrigerant leakage could be
the cause. Consult your local dealer for assistance.
The refrigerant used for the air conditioner is safe and
normally does not leak. However, if the refrigerant leaks
and gets in contact with a naked burner, heater or cooker,
it may generate hazardous compounds.
Turn off the air conditioner and call your local dealer.
Turn on the air conditioner after the qualified service
person makes sure to confirm that the leakage is repaired.
• Consult your local dealer regarding what to do in case
of refrigerant leakage.
When the indoor unit is installed in a small room, it is
necessary to take proper measures so that the amount of
any leaked refrigerant does not exceed the concentration
limit in the event of a leakage. Otherwise, this may lead to
an accident due to oxygen depletion.
• Consult your local dealer regarding relocation and
reinstallation of the air conditioner.
Improper installation work may result in leakage,
electric shocks or a fire.
• Be sure to use fuses with the correct ampere reading.
Do not use improper fuses, copper or other wiring as a
substitute, as this may result in electric shocks, a fire,
injury or damage to the air conditioner.
• Be sure to earth the air conditioner.
Do not earth the air conditioner to a utility piping, lightning
conductor or telephone earth lead. Imperfect earthing
may result in electric shocks or a fire.
A high surge current from lightning or other sources may
cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in
electric shocks or a fire.
• Consult your local dealer if the air conditioner
submerges owing to a natural disaster, such as a
flood or typhoon.
Do not operate the air conditioner in that case, or otherwise
a malfunction, electric shocks, or a fire may result.
• Start or stop the air conditioner with the remote
controller. Never use the power circuit breaker for
this purpose.
Otherwise, it may cause a fire or water leakage.
Furthermore, if an automatic restart control is provided
against power failure and the power is recovered, the
fan will rotate suddenly and may cause injury.
• Do not use the air conditioner in the atmosphere
contaminated with oil vapor, such as cooking oil
or machine oil vapor.
Oil vapor may cause crack damage to the air conditioner,
electric shocks, or a fire.
• Do not use the air conditioner in places with excessive
oily smoke, such as cooking rooms, or in places with
flammable gas, corrosive gas, or metal dust.
Using the air conditioner in such places may cause a fire
or air conditioner failures.
• Be sure to use a dedicated power supply for the air
conditioner.
The use of any other power supply may cause heat
generation, a fire, or air conditioner failures.
