and plants.
Do not expose combustion appliances to direct airfl ow.

or fi re.
Replace all batteries of the remote controller with new ones
of the same type.

possibility of a lightning strike.
• The unit may be damaged if lightning strikes.
After the air conditioner is used for several seasons, per-
form inspection and maintenance in addition to normal
cleaning.
