Safety Considerations

Read these Safety Considerations for Operations carefully
before operating an air conditioner or heat pump.
Make sure that the unit operates properly during the startup
operation. Instruct the user on how to operate and maintain the
unit.
Inform users that they should store this operation manual with
the installation manual for future reference.

DANGER
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable materials
are present due to risk of explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air conditioner or
heat pump, such as smoke or fire, could result in severe
injury or death. Turn off the power and contact your dealer
immediately.
• Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes into contact
with fire, such as from a fan heater, stove, or cooking device.
Exposure to this gas could cause severe injury or death.
• For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen.
A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, especially
in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could occur
leading to serious injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same room
as the air conditioner or heat pump, there is the danger
of oxygen deficiency which could lead to an asphyxiation
hazard resulting in serious injury or death. Be sure to
ventilate the room sufficiently to avoid this hazard.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials. Packing materials,
such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause
stabs or other injuries.
• Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that
children will not play with them. Children playing with plastic
bags face the danger of death by suffocation.

WARNING
• Contact your dealer for repair and maintenance.
Improper repair and maintenance may result in water
leakage, electric shock, and fire. Only use accessories
made by Daikin that are specifically designed for use with
the equipment and have them installed by a professional.
• Contact your dealer to move and reinstall the air conditioner
or heat pump. Incomplete installation may result in water
leakage, electric shock, and fire.
• Never let the indoor unit or the remote controller get wet.
Water can cause an electric shock or a fire.
• Never use flammable spray such as hair spray, lacquer, or
paint near the unit. Flammable spray may cause a fire.
• When a fuse blows out, never replace it with one of
incorrect ampere ratings or different wires. Always replace
any blown fuse with a fuse of the same specification.
• Never remove the fan guard of the unit. A fan rotating at
high speed without the fan guard is very dangerous.
• Never inspect or service the unit by yourself. Contact a
qualified service person to perform this work.
• Turn off all electrical power before doing any maintenance
to avoid the risk of serious electric shock; never sprinkle or
spill water or liquids on the unit.
• Do not touch the switch with wet fingers. Touching a switch
with wet fingers can cause electric shock.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit to
prevent injury.
• The heat exchanger fins are sharp enough to cut. To avoid
injury wear gloves or cover the fins while working around
them.
• Do not put a finger or other objects into the air inlet or air
outlet. The fan is rotating at high speed and will cause injury.
• Check the unit foundation for damage on a continuous
basis, especially if it has been in use for a long time. If left in
a damaged condition the unit may fall and cause injury.
• Placing a flower vase or other containers with water or
other liquids on the unit could cause a shock or fire if a spill
occurs.
• Do not touch the air outlet or horizontal blades while the
swing flap is in operation because fingers could get caught
and injured.
• Never touch the internal parts of the controller. Do not
remove the front panel because some parts inside are
dangerous to touch. To check and adjust internal parts,
contact your dealer.
CAUTION
• Do not use the air conditioner or heat pump for any other
purposes other than comfort cooling or heating.
Do not use the unit for cooling precision instruments, food,
plants, animals or works of art.
