12. Operation Manual

12.1 Safety Considerations

Read these SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS for Operations
carefully before operating air conditioning equipment. Make
sure that the unit operates properly during the startup
operation. Instruct the customer on how to operate and
maintain the unit.
Inform customers that they should store this Operation
Manual with the Installation Manual for future reference.
Meanings of DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE
Symbols:
DANGER .............. Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING ............ Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION ............. Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. It
may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
NOTE .................. Indicates situations that may result in
equipment or property-damage
accidents only.
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable
materials are present due to risk of explosion
resulting in serious injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air
conditioner such as smoke or fire could result in
severe injury or death. Turn off the power and contact
your dealer immediately.
• Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes into
contact with fire, such as from a fan, heater, stove, or
cooking device. Exposure to this gas could cause
severe injury or death.
• For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces
oxygen. A massive leak could lead to oxygen
depletion, especially in basements, and an
asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious
injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same
room as the air conditioner, there is the danger of
oxygen deficiency which could lead to an
asphyxiation hazard resulting in serious injury or
death. Be sure to ventilate the room sufficiently to
avoid this hazard.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials. Packing
materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden
parts, may cause stabs or other injuries.

• Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so
that children will not play with them. Children playing
with plastic bags face the danger of death by
suffocation.
• Contact your dealer for repair and maintenance.
Improper repair and maintenance may result in water
leakage, electric shock, and fire. Only use
accessories made by Daikin that are specifically
designed for use with the equipment and have them
installed by a professional.
• Contact your dealer to move and reinstall the air
conditioner. Incomplete installation may result in
water leakage, electric shock, and fire.
• Never let the indoor unit or the remote controller get
wet. Water can cause an electric shock or a fire.
• Never use flammable spray such as hair spray,
lacquer, or paint near the unit. Flammable spray may
cause a fire.
• When a fuse blows out, never replace it with one of
incorrect ampere ratings or different wires. Always
replace any blown fuse with a fuse of the same
specification.
• Never remove the fan guard of the unit. A fan rotating
at high speed without the fan guard is very
dangerous.
• Never inspect or service the unit by yourself. Contact
a qualified service person to perform this work.
• Turn 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 fingers. Touching a
switch with wet fingers can cause electric shock.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit to
prevent injury.
• The heat exchanger fins are sharp enough to cut. To
avoid injury wear gloves or cover the fins while
working around them.
• Do not put a finger 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 condition the unit may
fall and cause injury.
