The air conditioner must be earthed. Incomplete earthing may
result in electric shocks. Do not connect the earth line to a gas
pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or a telephone earth line.

In order to avoid any quality deterioration, do not use the unit
for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or
works of art.
•
Never expose little children, plants or animals directly to the air flow.
•
Do not place appliances which produce open fire in places exposed
to the air flow from the unit or under the indoor unit. It may cause
incomplete combustion or deformation of the unit due to the heat.

Do not block air inlets nor outlets. Impaired air flow may result in
insufficient performance or trouble.
•
Do not stand or sit on the outdoor unit. Do not place any object on
the unit to avoid injury, do not remove the fan guard.

Places with an oily ambient or where steam or soot occurs.
•
Salty environment such as coastal areas.
•
Places where sulfide gas occurs such as hot springs.
•
Places where snow may block the outdoor unit.
The drain from the outdoor unit must be discharged to a place of good drainage.
Consider nuisance to your neighbours from noises.
For installation, choose a place as described below.

System Configuration
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, the unit may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, the unit may cause minor or moderate property damage or personal injury.
Be sure to follow the instructions.
Never touch the air conditioner (including the remote
controller) with a wet hand.
WARNING
•
The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is safe. Although
leaks should not occur, if for some reason any refrigerant hap-
pens to leak into the room, make sure it does not come in con-
tact with any flame as of gas heaters, kerosene heaters or gas range.
•
If the air conditioner is not cooling (heating) properly, the refrigerant
may be leaking, so call your dealer.
When carrying out repairs accompanying adding refrigerant, check
the content of the repairs with our service staff.
•
Do not attempt to install the air conditioner by your self. Incorrect
work will result in water leakage, electric shocks or fire. For installa-
tion, consult the dealer or a qualified technician.
•
In order to avoid electric shock, fire or injury, if you detect any abnor-
mally such as smell of fire, stop the operation and turn off the
breaker. And call your dealer for instructions.
CAUTION
•
To avoid oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room sufficiently if
equipment with burner is used together with the air condi-
tioner.
•
Before cleaning, be sure to stop the operation, turn the breaker off or
pull out the supply cord.
•
Do not connect the air conditioner to a power supply different from
the one as specified. It may cause trouble or fire.
•
Depending on the environment, an earth leakage breaker must be
installed. Lack of an earth leakage breaker may result in electric
shocks, or fire.
•
Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Incomplete
draining may cause wetting of the building, furniture etc.
•
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor unit and do not
let leaves and other debris accumulate around the unit.
Leaves are a hotbed for small animals which can enter the unit.
Once in the unit, such animals can cause malfunctions, smoke or
fire when making contact with electrical parts.
•
Do not operate the air conditioner with wet hands.
•
Do not wash the indoor unit with excessive water, only use a
slightly wet cloth.
•
Do not place things such as vessels containing water or any-
thing else on top of the unit. Water may penetrate into the
unit and degrade electrical insulations, resulting in an electric shock.
Electrical work.

For power supply, be sure to use a separate power circuit dedi-
cated to the air conditioner.
System relocation.
