Precautions For Safety; Indoor Unit Display - Toshiba RAS-18SK Series Owner's Manual

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY

• Do not install, repair, open or remove the cover. It may expose you to dangerous
voltages. Ask the dealership or the specialist to do this.
• Turning off the power supply will not prevent potential electric shock.
• The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulation.
• Means for disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least
3 mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fi xed wiring.
• Do not expose your body directly to cool air for a long time.
• Do not insert your fi nger or any article into the air inlet/outlet.
• When an abnormality (burning smell, etc.) occurs, stop the air conditioner and
turn off the circuit breaker.
• Installation must be requested from the supplying retail dealership or
professional installation vendors. Installation requires special knowledge and
skill. If customers install on their own, it can be a cause of fi re, electric shock,
injury or water leakage.
• Do not select a location for installation where fl ammable gas may leak. If there
is any gas leakage or accumulation around the unit, it can be a cause of fi re.
• Do not turn ON/OFF the circuit breaker or operate buttons with a wet hand. It
may be a cause of electric shock.
• Do not disassemble, modify or relocate the unit by yourself. It may become the
cause of fi re, electric shock, or water leakage. For repair or relocation, please
request service from the supplying retail dealership or a Toshiba dealership.
• Do not select a location for installation where there may be excessive water
or humidity, such as a bathroom. Deterioration of insulation may be a cause of
electric shock or fi re.
• When relocating or repairing the unit, please contact the supplying retail
dealership. When there is a kink in the wiring, it may be the cause of electric
shock or fi re.
• During an error (such as a burning odor, not cooling, or not warming), stop
operating the unit and turn off the circuit breaker. Continuous operation may
be a cause of fi re, or electric shock. Please request repair or service from the
supplying retail dealership or a Toshiba dealership.
• Earth work should be requested from the supplying retail dealership or
professional vendors. Insuffi cient grounding work may be the cause of electric
shock. Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning
conductor, or telephone earth wire.
• If the indoor unit piping outlet is exposed due to relocation, close the opening.
Touching internal electrical parts may cause injury or electric shock.
• Do not insert any material (metal, paper, or water, etc) into the air outlet or air
intake opening. Fan may be rotating at high speed inside or there are high
voltage sections, which may cause an injury or electric shock.
• You must use a independent power outlet for the power supply. If a power
outlet other than the independent outlet is used, it may cause a fi re.
• When the air-conditioning unit does not cool or warm, there may be a leakage
of refrigerant. Please consult the supplying retail dealership. The refrigerant
used in the air-conditioning unit is safe. It will not leak under normal operating
conditions but if it leaks into the room and contacts a heat source such as a
heater, or stove, it may cause a harmful reaction.
• When water or other foreign substances enter the internal parts, stop operating
the unit immediately and turn off the circuit breaker. Operating the unit
continuously may cause fi re or electric shock. Please contact the supplying
retail dealership for repair.
• Do not clean the inside of the air-conditioning unit yourself. Please request
internal cleaning of the air-conditioning unit from the supplying retail
dealership. Incorrect cleaning may cause breakage of resin parts or insulation
defects of electrical parts, causing water leakage, electric shock or fi re.
• Do not damage or modify the power cable. Do not connect the cable midway,
or use a multiple outlet extension cord that is shared by other devices. Failure
to do so may cause fi re.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cable, expose it to heat, or pull it. To
do so may cause electrical shock or fi re.

CAUTION
• Check that the circuit breaker is installed correctly. If the circuit breaker is not
properly installed, it may cause an electric shock. To check the installation
method, please contact the supplying retail dealership or the professional vendor
who installed the unit.
• When using the unit in a closed room, or operating with other combustion
appliances, make sure to open a window occasionally for ventilation. Insuffi cient
ventilation may cause suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.
• Avoid operating for long periods in a high humidity environment (over 80%) such
as with the windows or doors open. There may be condensation on the indoor
unit and droplets may fall onto the furniture.
• When the unit won't be used for a long time, turn off the main switch or the circuit
breaker.
• It is recommended that maintenance be performed by a specialist when the unit
has been operated for a long time.
• At least once a year check if the mounting table of the outdoor unit is damaged
or not. If a damaged state is ignored, the unit may fall or over-turn, causing an
injury.
• Stand on a sturdy ladder when attaching/detaching the front panel/air fi lter/air
cleaning fi lter. Failure to do so may cause a fall or injury.
• Do not stand on the outdoor unit or place anything on the unit. It may be the
cause of injury due to falling or over-turning. Any damage to the unit may cause
an electric shock or fi re.
• Do not use combustion appliances in the direct fl ow of the air from the air-
conditioning unit. Poor combustion of a combustion appliance may cause
suffocation.
• Do not place anything around the outdoor unit or allow fallen leaves to
accumulate around it. If there are fallen leaves, small animals could enter and
contact internal electrical parts, causing a failure or fi re.
• Do not place animals and plants in places where wind from the air-conditioning
unit fl ows directly. It may have a negative infl uence on the animal or plant.
• Ensure that drained water is discharged. When the discharging water process
is not suffi cient, water may leak, causing water damage to furniture. To check
that the installation method used is correct, please contact the supplying retail
dealership or the professional vendor who installed the unit.
• Do not place any containers such as a vase containing fl uid on the unit. It might
cause water to enter the unit and deteriorate the electrical insulation, causing an
electric shock.
• Do not use for special applications such as storage of food or animals, or to
display plants, precision devices, or art objects. Do not use on ships or in other
vehicles. It may cause a failure in the air-conditioning unit. In addition, it may
damage these items.
• Do not place other electrical appliances or furniture under the unit. Water
droplets might fall, causing damage or failure.
• When cleaning, you must stop operating the unit and turn off the circuit breaker.
Since the fan inside may be rotating at high speed, it may cause an injury.
• Do not wash the main air-conditioning unit with water. It may cause an electric
shock.
• After the front panel/air fi lter is cleaned, wipe away any water and allow to dry. If
water remains, it may cause an electric shock.
• Once the front panel is removed, do not touch the metal parts of the unit. It may
cause an injury.
• Do not touch the air intake section or the aluminum fi ns of the unit. It may cause
injury.
• When you hear thunder and there might be a lightning strike, stop operating the
unit and disconnect the circuit breaker. If lightning strikes, it may cause a failure.
• Batteries for remote control unit:
- Should be inserted with correct polarity (+) and (-).
- Should not be recharged.
- Do not use batteries for which the "Recommended usage period" has expired.
- Do not keep used batteries inside the remote control unit.
- Do not mix different types of batteries, or mix new batteries with old ones.
- Do not directly solder the batteries.
- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat, or throw batteries into a fi re. If batteries
are not disposed of correctly, they may burst or be the cause of fl uid leakage,
resulting in burns or injuries. If touching the fl uid, wash thoroughly with water. If
it touches devices, wipe off to avoid direct contact.
- Do not place within reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, consult a
doctor immediately.
