Daikin FXAQ20AVM Operation Manual page 4

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.
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.
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
highspeed fan blades.
Consult your local dealer regarding cleaning the
inside of the air conditioner.
Improper cleaning may cause breakage of plastic parts,
water leakage and other damage as well as electric
shocks.
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.
Consult your local dealer about installation work.
Doing the work yourself may result in water leakage,
electric shocks or a fire.
Contact professional personnel about attachment of
accessories and be sure to use only accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
If a defect results from your own workmanship, it may
result in water leakage, electric shocks or a fire.
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 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.
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.
Consult your local dealer regarding what to do in
case of refrigerant leakage.
When the air conditioner 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.

CAUTION
Children should be watched so that they do not play
with the indoor unit or its remote controller.
Accidental operation by a child may result in injury or
electric shocks.
Do not allow a child to mount on the outdoor unit or
avoid placing any object on it.
Falling or tumbling may result in injury.
Do not let children play on or around the outdoor unit.
If they touch the unit carelessly, injury may be caused.
Be sure that children, plants or animals are not
exposed directly to airflow from the indoor unit, as
adverse effects may ensue.
Do not place flammable sprays or operate spray
containers near the air conditioner as this may result
in a fire.
Do not wash the air conditioner or the remote
controller with water, as this may result in electric
shocks or fire.
Do not place water containers (flower vases, etc.) on
the indoor unit, as this may result in electric shocks
or a fire.
Do not put flammable containers, such as spray cans,
within 1 m from the air outlet.
The containers may explode because the warm air from
the indoor or outdoor unit will affect them.
Turn off the main power switch when the air
conditioner is not to be used for prolonged periods.
When the main power switch is left on, some electrical
power (watts) is still consumed even if the air conditioner
is not operating. Therefore, switch off the main power
switch to save energy.
When resuming operation, to ensure smooth running, turn
on the main power switch 6 hours before operating the air
conditioner again.
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the
outdoor unit and do not let leaves and other debris
accumulate around the unit.
Leaves are a hotbed for small animals which can enter
the unit. Once in the unit, such animals can cause
malfunctions, smoke or a fire when making contact with
electrical parts.
Before cleaning, be sure to stop the air conditioner
operation, turn the power circuit breaker off.
Otherwise, an electric shocks and injury may result.
To avoid electric shocks, do not operate with wet
hands.
Never touch the internal parts of the remote
controller.
Touching certain internal parts will cause electric shocks
and damage to the remote controller. Consult your local
dealer about checking and adjustment of internal parts.
To avoid oxygen deficiency, ensure that the room is
adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner
is used together with the air conditioner.
Do not leave the remote controller wherever there is a
risk of wetting.
If water gets into the remote controller there is a risk of
electrical leakage and damage to electronic components.
