Safety Precautions - Daikin FDQ16PY1 Operation Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To gain full advantage of the air conditioner's functions and to avoid malfunction due to mishandling, we recommend that you read this
instruction manual carefully before use.
This air conditioner is classified under "appliances not accessible to the general public".
• The precautions described herein are classified as WARNING and CAUTION. They both contain important information
regarding safety. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail.
WARNING
: Failure to follow these instructions properly may result in personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
:
• After reading, keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it whenever necessary. If the equipment is
transferred to a new user, be sure also to hand over the manual.
• 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 condi-
tion and health.
• When the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a
burning odour, etc.) turn off power to the unit and con-
tact your local dealer.
Continued operation under such circumstances may result in
a failure, electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Consult your local dealer about installation work.
Doing the work yourself may result in water leakage, electric
shocks or fire hazards.
• Consult your local dealer regarding modification, repair
and maintenance of the air conditioner.
Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric
shocks or fire hazards.
• 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.
• Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage.
If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not gener-
ating cool or warm air, refrigerant leakage could be the
cause.
Consult your dealer for assistance.
The refrigerant within the air conditioner is safe and normally
does not leak.
However, in the event of a leakage, contact with a naked
burner, heater or cooker may result in generation of noxious
gas.
Do not longer use the air conditioner until a qualified service
person confirms that the leakage has been repaired.
• Consult your local dealer regarding what to do in case of
refrigerant leakage.
When the air conditioner is to be 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.

Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in property damage or personal injury, which
may be serious depending on the circumstances.
WARNING
• Contact professional personnel about attachment of
accessories and be sure to use only accessories speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
If a defect results from your own workmanship, it may result
in water leaks, electric shock or fire.
• Consult your local dealer regarding relocation and rein-
stallation of the air conditioner.
Improper installation work may result in leakage, electric
shocks or fire hazards.
• Be sure to use fuses with the correct ampere reading.
Do not use improper fuses, copper or other wires as a sub-
stitute, as this may result in electric shock, fire, injury or dam-
age to the unit.
• Be sure to earth the unit.
Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor or
telephone earth lead. Imperfect earthing may result in elec-
tric shocks or 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 elec-
tric shocks or fire.
• Consult the dealer if the air conditioner submerges
owing to a natural disaster, such as a flood or typhoon.
Do not operate the air conditioner in that case, or otherwise
a malfunction, electric shock, or fire may result.
• Do not start or stop operating the air conditioner with
the power supply breaker turned ON or OFF.
Otherwise, fire or water leakage may result. Furthermore,
the fan will rotate abruptly if power failure compensation is
enabled, which may result in inlury.
