Safety Precautions
n Installation
Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage
after installation or repair of product.
• Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of
product.
Keep level even when installing the product.
• To avoid vibration or water leakage.
Use power cables of sufficient current
carrying capacity and rating.
• Cables that are too small may leak, generate
heat, and cause a fire.
Keep the unit away from children. The heat
exchanger is very sharp.
• It can cause the injury, such as cutting the finger.
Also the damaged fin may result in degradation
of capacity.
Do not install the product where it is exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.
• It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins,
could cause product malfunction or inefficient operation.
n Operation
Do not use the air conditioner in special
environments.
• Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce
the performance of the air conditioner or damage its parts.
Make the connections securely so that the outside
force of the cable may not be applied to the terminals.
• Inadequate connection and fastening may gen-
erate heat and cause a fire.
Install and insulate the drain hose to ensure that water is drained away properly based on the
installation manual.
• A bad connection may cause water leakage.
6 Outdoor Unit
Do not install the product where the noise or
hot air from the outdoor unit could damage
the neighborhoods.
• It may cause a problem for your neighbors.
Do not install the unit where combustible gas
may leak.
• If the gas leaks and accumulates around the
unit, an explosion may result.
Do not use the product for special purposes,
such as preserving foods, works of art, etc. It
is a consumer air conditioner, not a precision
refrigeration system.
• There is risk of damage or loss of property.
When installting the unit in a hospital, com-
munication station, or similar place, provide
sufficient protection against noise.
• The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-
frequency medical equipment, or radio communication
equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate erro-
neously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the air
conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise
that disturbs medical treatment or image broadcasting.
Do not block the inlet or outlet.
• It may cause failure of appliance or accident.
Be sure the installation area does not deteri-
orate with age.
• If the base collapses, the air conditioner could fall with it,
causing property damage, product failure, or personal injury.
