• Do not move or repair any unit by yourself. Since there is high
voltage inside the unit, you may get electric shock when removing
the cover and main unit.
• Use of a stand more than 50 cm high to clean the lter of the
indoor unit or to carry out other such jobs constitutes working at
heights. Due to the danger of falling off the stand and injuring
yourself while working at heights, this kind of work should not be
done by unqualied individuals. When this kind of work must be
carried out, do not do it yourself but ask a qualied installer or a
qualied service person to do it for you.
• Do not touch the aluminum n of the outdoor unit. You may injure
yourself if you do so. If the n must be touched, do not touch
it yourself but contact a qualied installer or a qualied service
person.
• Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit.
You may fall or the objects may fall off of the outdoor unit and
result in injury.
• Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is
directly exposed to the wind of air conditioner, otherwise it may
cause imperfect combustion.
• When the air conditioner is operated with a combustion appliance
in the same place, be careful of ventilation to let fresh air enter the
room. Poor ventilation causes oxygen shortage.
• When the air conditioner is used in a closed room, be careful of
sufcient ventilation of the room. Poor ventilation causes oxygen
shortage.
• Do not expose your body to cool air directly for a long time and do
not cool yourself excessively. Doing so may result in deteriorated
physical condition and ill health.
• Never insert your nger or a stick into the air intake or discharge.
Doing so may result injury as the fan is rotating at high speed
inside the unit.
• Consult the shop where you purchased the air conditioner if
air conditioning (cooling) is not performed properly as a refrigerant
leakage may be the cause. Conrm the repair details with a
qualied service person(*1) when the repair includes additional
charging of the refrigerant.
• Be sure to stop running the air conditioner and turn off the breaker
before cleaning. Otherwise, injury may result as the fan is rotating
at high speed inside the unit.
Repairs
• When you have noticed that some kind of trouble (such as when
a check display has appeared, there is a smell of burning,
abnormal sounds are heard, the air conditioner fails to cool or
water is leaking) has occurred in the air conditioner, do not touch
the air conditioner yourself but set the circuit breaker to the OFF
position, and contact a qualied service person. Take steps to
ensure that the power will not be turned on (by marking
"out of service" near the circuit breaker, for instance) until qualied
service person arrives. Continuing to use the air conditioner in the
abnormal status may cause mechanical problems to escalate or
result in electric shocks, etc.
• If you have discovered that the fan grille is damaged, do not
approach the outdoor unit but set the circuit breaker to the OFF
position, and contact a qualied service person to have the repairs
done. Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position until the
repairs are completed.
• If you have discovered that there is a danger of the indoor unit's
falling, do not approach the indoor unit but set the circuit breaker
to the OFF position, and contact a qualied installer or a qualied
service person to ret the unit. Do not set the circuit breaker to the
ON position until the unit has been retted.
• If you have discovered that there is a danger of the outdoor unit's
toppling over, do not approach the outdoor unit but set the circuit
breaker to the OFF position, and contact a qualied installer or
a qualied service person to have the improvements or retting
done. Do not set the circuit breaker to the ON position until the
improvements or retting is completed.
• Do not customize the unit. Doing so may result in re, electric
shock, etc.
Relocation
• When the air conditioner is to be relocated, do not relocate it
yourself but contact a qualied installer or a qualied service
person. Failure to relocate the air conditioner properly may result
in electric shocks and/or a re.
(*1) Refer to the "Denition of Qualied Installer or Qualied
Service Person."
