AFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Do not expose pets or houseplants to direct airfl ow.
• This may cause injury to the pets or plants.
Do not place other electric appliances or furniture under the
indoor/outdoor unit.
• Water may drip down from the unit, which may cause damage or
malfunction.
Do not leave the unit on a damaged installation stand.
• The unit may fall and cause injury.
Do not step on an unstable bench to operate or clean the unit.
• This may cause injury if you fall down.
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 explo-
sion.
Do not operate the unit for more than 4 hours at high humid-
ity (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 ac-
cidental 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.
• Using an old battery together with a new one may cause overheat-
ing, leakage, or explosion.
If the battery fl uid comes in contact with your skin or clothes,
wash them thoroughly with clean water.
• If the battery fl uid comes in contact with your eyes, wash them
thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical atten-
tion.
Ensure that the area is well-ventilated when the unit is operated
together with a combustion appliance.
• Inadequate ventilation may cause oxygen starvation.
Turn the breaker OFF when you hear thunder and there is a pos-
sibility of a lightning strike.
• The unit may be damaged if lightning strikes.
After the air conditioner is used for several seasons, perform
inspection and maintenance in addition to normal cleaning.
• Dirt or dust in the unit may create an unpleasant odor, contribute
to growth of fungi, such as mold, or clog the drain passage, and
cause water to leak from the indoor unit. Consult your dealer for
inspection and maintenance, which require specialized knowledge
and skills.
Do not operate switches with wet hands.
• This may cause electric shock.
Do not clean the air conditioner with water or place an object that
contains water, such as a fl ower vase, on it.
• This may cause fi re or electric shock.
Do not step on or place any object on the outdoor unit.
• This may cause injury if you or the object falls down.
IMPORTANT
Dirty fi lters cause condensation in the air conditioner which will contribute
to the growth of fungi such as mold. It is therefore recommended to clean air
fi lters every 2 weeks.
Before starting the operation, ensure that the horizontal vanes are in the closed
position. If operation starts when the horizontal vanes are in the open position,
they may not return to the correct position.
For installation
WARNING
Consult your dealer for installing the air conditioner.
• It should not be installed by the user since installation requires
specialized knowledge and skills. An improperly installed air con-
ditioner may cause water leakage, fi re, or electric shock.
Provide a dedicated power supply for the air conditioner.
• A non-dedicated power supply may cause overheating or fi re.
Do not install the unit where fl ammable gas could leak.
• If gas leaks and accumulates around the outdoor unit, it may cause
an explosion.
Ground the unit correctly.
• Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe,
lightning rod, or a telephone ground wire. Improper grounding
may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
Install a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit breaker depend-
ing on the installation location of the air conditioner (such
as highly humid areas).
• If the Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) breaker is not installed, it
may cause electric shock.
Ensure that the drain water is properly drained.
• If the drain passage is improper, water may drip down from
the indoor/outdoor unit, wetting and damaging the furniture.
In case of an abnormal condition
Immediately stop operating the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
