these regulations may harm the environment and can
lead to the imposition of substantial fines.
Should you have any questions please contact our local EPA
office.
If replacing one of the component of the system, the system
must be manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning, Heating
and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched.
NOTE: The installation of an inverter air conditioner with
unmatched system units will not allow for proper operation.

eatuRes
This air conditioner is part of a system that uses inverter
technology to more efficiently remove heat and achieve the
target cooling setting. System may ONLY be installed using
a ComfortNet™ thermostat with model number CTK04AE or
newer as part of the digital communicating system. The Com-
fortNet system reduces the number of required thermostat
wires, provides additional setup features and enhanced active
diagnostics. Due to components using inverter technology, the
air conditioner will not function properly if used with a CTK03,
02 or 01 ComfortNet thermostat.

ReCautions FoR
1. Choose a place solid enough to bear the weight and
vibration of the unit, where the operating sound will
not be amplified.
2. Choose a location where the hot air discharged
from the unit or the operating sound will not cause a
nuisance to the neighbours of the user.
3. Avoid places near a bedroom and the like, so that the
operating sound will cause no trouble.
4. There must be sufficient spaces for carrying the unit
into and out of the site.
5. There must be sufficient space for air passage and no
obstructions around the air inlet and the air outlet.
6. The site must be free from the possibility of flammable
gas leakage in a nearby place.
7. Do not install the air conditioner in the following
locations:
(a) Where a mineral oil mist or oil spray or vapor is produced,
for example, in a kitchen.
Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall off and thus may
result in water leakage.
(b) Where corrosive gas, such as sulfurous acid gas, is pro-
duced.
Corroding copper pipes or soldered parts may result in
refrigerant leakage.
(c) Near machinery emitting electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves may disturb the operation of the
control system and cause the unit to malfunction.
(d) Where flammable gas may leak, where there is carbon fi-
ber, or ignitable dust suspension in the air, or where vola-
tile flammables such as thinner or gasoline are handled.
Operating the unit in such conditions may result in a fire.
And NOTE: Cannot be installed suspended from ceiling or stacked.
