Page 22
User safety instructions WARNING ▪ The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable, but normally does NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the room and comes in contact with fire from a burner, a heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire, or the formation of a harmful gas.
About the system 5 About the system WARNING ▪ Do NOT modify, disassemble, remove, reinstall or repair the unit yourself as incorrect dismantling or installation may cause an electrical shock or fire. Contact your dealer. ▪ In case of accidental refrigerant leaks, make sure there are no naked flames. The refrigerant itself is entirely safe, non-toxic and mildly flammable, but it will generate toxic gas when it accidentally leaks into a room where combustible air from fan heaters, gas cookers, etc.
User interface 6 User interface CAUTION ▪ NEVER touch the internal parts of the controller. ▪ Do NOT remove the front panel. Some parts inside are dangerous to touch and appliance problems may happen. For checking and adjusting the internal parts, contact your dealer.
Before operation 7 Before operation WARNING This unit contains electrical and hot parts. WARNING Before operating the unit, be sure the installation has been carried out correctly by an installer. CAUTION It is unhealthy to expose your body to the air flow for a long time. CAUTION To avoid oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room sufficiently if equipment with burner is used together with the system.
Operation 8 Operation 8.1 Operation range INFORMATION For the operation limits see the technical data of the connected outdoor unit. 8.2 About operation modes INFORMATION Depending on the installed system, some operation modes will not be available. ▪ The air flow rate may adjust itself depending on the room temperature or the fan may stop immediately.
