• 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 leakage. Otherwise, this may
lead to an accident due to oxygen depletion.
• Beware of 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 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 air conditioner
until a qualified service person confirms that the
leakage has been repaired.
• Do not use the air conditioner until a service
person confirms that the portion where the
refrigerant leaks is repaired.
• Turn off any combustible heating devices,
ventilate the room and contact the dealer
where you purchased the unit.
• Improper installation or attachment of
equipment or accessories could result in
electric shock, short circuit, leaks, fire or
other damage to the equipment.
• 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.
• Consult your local dealer regarding
relocation and reinstallation of the air
conditioner.
Improper installation work may result in leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop the
operation, turn the breaker off or pull out the
supply cord.
Otherwise, an electric shock and injury may
result.
• Do not operate the air conditioner with wet
hands.
An electric shock may result.
• Do not wash the air conditioner with water,
as this may result in electric shocks or fire.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may
result in electric shocks or fire.
In order to avoid electric shock or fire, make
sure that an earth leak detector is installed.
• 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 injury.
• Do not use the product in the atmosphere
contaminated with oil vapour, such as
cooking oil or machine oil vapour.
Oil vapour may cause crack damage, electric
shocks, or fire.
• Do not install the air conditioner at any place
where there is a danger of flammable gas
leakage.
In the event of a gas leakage, build-up of gas
near the air conditioner may result in fire hazards.
• 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 leaks, electric shock or fire.
• Do not use the product in places with
excessive oily smoke, such as cooking room,
or in places with flammable gas, corrosive
gas, or metal dust.
Using the product in such places may cause fire
or product failures.
• When the air conditioner is malfunctioning
(giving off a burning odour, etc.) turn off power
to the unit and contact your local dealer.
Continued operation under such circumstances
may result in a failure, electric shocks or fire
hazards.
• Do not place flammable sprays or operate
spray containers near the unit as this may
result in fire.
• Do not clean the product with organic
solvents such as paint thinner.
The use of organic solvents may cause crack
damage to the product, electric shocks, or fire.
