AFETY PRECAUTIONS
When the air conditioner does not cool or heat, there is a possibility of refrigerant leakage.
If any refrigerant leakage is found, stop operations and ventilate the room well and consult
your dealer immediately. If a repair involves recharging the unit with refrigerant, ask the service
technician for details.
• The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is safe. Normally, it does not leak. However, if refrigerant
leaks and comes in contact with a heat source such as a fan heater, kerosene heater, or cooking
stove, it will create a harmful gas and there is risk of fi re.
The user should never attempt to wash the inside of the indoor unit. Should the inside of the
unit require cleaning, contact your dealer.
• Unsuitable detergent may cause damage to plastic material inside the unit, which may result in
water leakage. Should detergent come in contact with electrical parts or the motor, it will result in
a malfunction, smoke, or fi re.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example:
open fl ames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the appliance, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not pierce or burn.
The indoor unit must be installed in rooms which exceed the fl oor space specifi ed. Please
consult your dealer.

• The unit may fall and cause injury.
Do not step on an unstable bench to operate or clean the unit.

Do not pull the power cord.
• This may cause a portion of the core wire to break, which may cause overheating or fi re.
Do not charge or disassemble the batteries, and do not throw them into a fi re.
• This may cause the batteries to leak, or cause a fi re or explosion.
Do not operate the unit for more than 4 hours at high humidity (80% RH or more) and/or with
windows or outside door left open.
• This may cause the water condensation in the air conditioner, which may drip down, wetting or
damaging the furniture.
• The water condensation in the air conditioner may contribute to growth of fungi, such as mold.
Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing food, raising animals, growing plants,
or preserving precision devices or art objects.
• This may cause deterioration of quality, or harm to animals and plants.
Do not expose combustion appliances to direct airfl ow.
• This may cause incomplete combustion.
Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason to avoid accidental ingestion.
• Battery ingestion may cause choking and/or poisoning.
Before cleaning the unit, switch it OFF and disconnect the power plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• This may cause injury, since the fan inside rotates at high speeds during operation.
When the unit will be unused for a long time, disconnect the power plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• The unit may accumulate dirt, which may cause overheating or fi re.
Replace all batteries of the remote controller with new ones of the same type.
