SAFETY PRECAUTION MEANING OF SYMBOLS DISPLAYED ON THE UNIT Refrigerant WARNING This unit uses a flammable refrigerant. safety Group If the refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with fire or heating part, it will create harmful gas and there is risk of fire. Read the OPERATING MANUAL carefully before operation.
[1] Warning for service (1) Do not alter the unit. (2) For installation and relocation work, follow the instructions in the Installation Manual and use tools and pipe components specifically made for use with refrigerant specified in the outdoor unit installation manual. (3) Ask a dealer or an authorized technician to install, relocate and repair the unit.
