its receptacle. Otherwise, an electric shock and injury
may result.
•
Do not wash the air conditioner with excessive water.
An electric shock or fi re may result.
•
Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with
water. Water entering the controller may cause an
electric shock or damage the internal electronic parts.
•
Do not operate the air conditioner when using a room-
fumigation type of insecticide. Failure to observe this
could cause the chemicals to be deposited in the unit
and can endanger the health of those who are hyper-
sensitive to chemicals.
•
Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping
operation. Always wait for at least fi ve minutes before
turning off the power. Otherwise, water leakage may
occur.
•
The appliance is not intended for use by young chil-
dren or infi rm persons without supervision.
•
The remote controller should be kept away from chil-
dren so they cannot play with it.
•
Consult with the installation contractor for cleaning.
•
Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the air conditioner
could make the plastics parts break and cause water
leakage or electric shock.
•
Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fi n of the air
conditioner as they can cut and cause injury.
•
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outside
unit. Do not let leaves and other debris accumulate
around the unit. Leaves are a hotbed for small animals
which can enter the unit. Once inside the unit, animals
can cause the unit to malfunction, and cause smoke or
fi re when they make contact with electrical parts.

places that are exposed to the air fl ow of the unit or
under the indoor unit. It may cause incomplete com-
bustion or deformation of the unit due to the heat.
•
Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight. The LCD
display can become discolored and may fail to display
the data.
•
Do not wipe the controller operation panel with ben-
zene, thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may
get discolored or the coating can peel off. If it is heavily
dirty, soak a cloth in water-diluted neutral detergent,
squeeze it well and wipe the panel clean. Then wipe it
with another dry cloth.

•
Do not attempt to do electrical work or grounding work
unless you are licensed to do so. Consult with your

•
Pay Attention to Operating Sound. Be sure to use the
following places:
a. Places that can suffi ciently withstand the weight of
the air conditioner yet can suppress the operating
sound and vibration of the air conditioner.
b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the
outside unit or the operating sound of the outside
unit does not annoy neighbors.
•
