    In order to prevent electric shocks, fires or injuries, always stop the unit, disable the protection switch and contact SAMSUNG’s technical support if the unit produces smoke, if the power cable is hot or damaged or if the unit is very noisy.
  • Page 4 Safety precautions Installing the unit IMPORTANT: When installing the unit, always remember to connect first the refrigerant tubes, then the electrical lines. Always disassemble the electric lines before the refrigerant tubes. Upon receipt, inspect the product to verify that it has not been damaged during transport. If the product appears damaged, DO NOT INSTALL it and immediately report the damage to the carrier or retailer (if the installer or the authorized technician has collected the material from the retailer.) After completing the installation, always carry out a functional test and provide the instructions on how to operate the air...
