Daikin FTQ18PBVJU Operation Manual page 5

• Shut off all electrical power before doing any
maintenance to avoid the risk of serious
electric shock; never sprinkle or spill water
or liquids on the unit.
• Do not touch the switch with wet fi ngers.
Touching a switch with wet fi ngers can cause
electric shock.
• Do not allow children to play on or around
the unit to prevent injury.
• The heat exchanger fi ns are sharp enough to
cut. To avoid injury wear gloves or cover the
fi ns while working around them.
• Do not put a fi nger or other objects into the
air inlet or air outlet. The fan is rotating at
high speed and will cause injury.
• Check the unit foundation for damage on a
continuous basis, especially if it has been in
use for a long time. If left in a damaged con-
dition the unit may cause injury.
• Placing a fl ower vase or other containers
with water or other liquids on the unit could
cause a shock or fi re if a spill occurs.
• Never touch the internal parts of the control-
ler. Do not remove the front panel because
some parts inside are dangerous to touch. To
check and adjust internal parts, contact your
dealer.
• Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to
cool or warm air from the air conditioner, or
to air that is too cool or too warm can be
harmful to your physical condition and
health.
• Ask your dealer to install in a machine room
that has no water drops by raining.
This unit is for indoor use.
Incomplete installation performed by yourself
may result in a water leakage, electric shock,
and fi re.
CAUTION
• Do not use the air conditioner or heat pump
for any other purposes other than comfort
cooling or heating. Do not use the unit for
cooling precision instruments, food, plants,
animals or works of art.
• Do not place items under the indoor unit as
they may be damaged by condensates that
may form if the humidity is above 80% or if
the drain outlet gets blocked.

• Before cleaning, stop the operation of the
unit by turning the power off or by pulling the
supply cord out from its receptacle. Other-
wise, an electric shock and injury may result.
• Do not wash the air conditioner or heat pump
with excessive water. An electric shock or
fi re may result.
• Avoid placing the controller in a spot
splashed with water. Water entering the con-
troller may cause an electric shock or dam-
age the internal electronic parts.
• Do not operate the air conditioner or heat
pump when using a room-fumigation type of
insecticide. Failure to observe this could
cause the chemicals to be deposited in the
unit and can endanger the health of those
who are hypersensitive to chemicals.
• Do not shut off the power immediately after
stopping operation. Always wait for at least
fi ve minutes before shutting off the power.
Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
• The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infi rm persons without
supervision.
• The remote controller should be kept away
from children so they cannot play with it.
• Consult with the installation contractor for
cleaning.
• Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the air con-
ditioner or heat pump could make the plas-
tics parts break and cause water leakage or
electric shock.
• Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fi n of
the air conditioner or heat pump as they can
cut and cause injury.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of
the outside unit. Do not let leaves and other
debris accumulate around the unit. Leaves
are a hotbed for small animals which can
enter the unit. Once inside the unit, animals
can cause the unit to malfunction, and cause
smoke or fi re when they make contact with
electrical parts.
• Be sure that children, plants or animals are
not exposed directly to airfl ow from the unit,
as adverse effects may ensue.
