To gain full advantage of the air conditioner's func-
tions and to avoid malfunction due to mishandling,
please read this operation manual carefully before
use.
This air conditioner is classified under "appliances
not accessible to the general public".
• The precautions described herein are classified
as WARNING and CAUTION. They both contain
important information regarding safety. Be sure
to observe all precautions without fail.
WARNING...Failure to follow these instructions
properly may result in personal
injury or loss of life.
CAUTION ....Failure to observe these instruc-
tions properly may result in prop-
erty damage or personal injury,
which may be serious depending
on the circumstances.
• After reading, keep this manual in a convenient
place so that you can refer to it whenever nec-
essary. If the equipment is transferred to a new
user, be sure also to hand over the manual.
WARNING
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.
When the air conditioner is malfunctioning
(giving off a burning odour, etc.) turn off the
power to the unit and contact your local
dealer.
Continued operation under such circumstances may
result in a failure, electric shocks or fire hazards.
Consult your local dealer about installation work.
Doing the work yourself may result in water leak-
age, electric shocks or fire hazards.
Consult your local dealer regarding modification,
repair and maintenance of the air conditioner.
Improper workmanship may result in water leak-
age, electric shocks or fire hazards.
Do not place objects, including rods, your
fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet.
Injury may result due to contact with the air con-
ditioner's highspeed fan blades.
Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage.
If the air conditioner is not operating correctly,
i.e. not generating cool or warm air, refrigerant
leakage could be the cause. Consult your dealer
for assistance. The refrigerant used for the air
conditioner is safe and normally does not leak.
However, if the refrigerant leaks and gets in con-
tact with a naked burner, heater or cooker, it may
generate hazardous compounds. Turn off the air
conditioner and call the dealer. Make sure to turn
2
on the air conditioner after the qualified service
person confirms that the leakage is repaired.
Consult your local dealer regarding what to
do in case of refrigerant leakage.
When the air conditioner is to be installed in a
small room, it is necessary to take proper mea-
sures so that the amount of any leaked refriger-
ant does not exceed the concentration limit in
the event of a leakage. Otherwise, this may lead
to an accident due to oxygen depletion.
Contact professional personnel about
attachment of accessories and be sure to use
only accessories specified by the manufac-
turer.
If a defect results from your own workmanship, it
may result in water leaks, electric shock or fire.
Consult your local dealer regarding reloca-
tion and reinstallation of the air conditioner.
Improper installation work may result in leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards.
Be sure to use fuses with the correct ampere
reading.
Do not use improper fuses, copper or other wires
as a substitute, as this may result in electric
shock, fire, injury or damage to the unit.
Be sure to earth the unit.
Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning
conductor or telephone earth lead.
Imperfect earthing may result in electric shocks
or fire.
A high surge current from lightning or other
sources may cause damage to the air condi-
tioner.
Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may
result in electric shocks or fire.
Consult the dealer if the air conditioner sub-
merges owing to a natural disaster, such as a
flood or typhoon.
Do not operate the air conditioner in that case, or
otherwise a malfunction, electric shock, or fire
may result.
Start or stop the air conditioner with the
remote controller. Never use the power sup-
ply breaker for this purpose.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or water leakage.
Furthermore, if an automatic reset control is pro-
vided against power failure and the power is
recovered, the fan will rotate suddenly and may
cause injury.
Do not use the product in the atmosphere
contaminated with oil vapor, such as cook-
ing oil or machine oil vapor.
Oil vapor may cause crack damage, electric
shocks, or fire.
Do not use the product in places with exces-
sive oily smoke, such as cooking rooms, or
in places with flammable gas, corrosive gas,
or metal dust.
