Safety Precautions - Mitsubishi Electric Mr. Slim MS-GL18VF Operating Instructions Manual

S
AFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
When the air conditioner does not cool or heat, there is a
possibility of refrigerant leakage. If any refrigerant leak-
age 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 techni-
cian for details.
• The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is not harmful.
Normally, it does not leak. However, if refrigerant leaks and
comes in contact with fi re or heating part of such a fan heater,
kerosene heater, or cooking stove, it will create 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.

explosion.
Do not operate the unit for more than 4 hours at high hu-
midity (80% RH or more) and/or with windows or outside

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 preci-
sion 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.

the power plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• The unit may accumulate dirt, which may cause overheating
or fi re.

a possibility of a lightning strike.
• The unit may be damaged if lightning strikes.
After the air conditioner is used for several seasons, per-
form inspection and maintenance in addition to normal
cleaning.
• Dirt or dust in the unit may create an unpleasant odor, con-
tribute 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.

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.
For installation

shock.
Ensure that the drain water is properly drained.
