CAUTION
CAUTIONS ABOUT INSTALLATION
• Certainly lay the drain hose for perfect draining.
Wrong drainage may cause flooding in the house and getting furniture wet.
• Make sure to connect the air conditioner to an exclusive power supply of the
rated voltage; otherwise, the unit may break down or cause a fire.
• Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak.
If inflammable gas accumulates around the unit, it may cause a fire.
CAUTIONS ABOUT OPERATION
• Carefully read this manual before starting the air conditioner. The manual
includes many important things for daily operation.
• Do not use this air conditioner for other purposes such as preserving food,
precision instruments, art objects, breeding animals, growing potted plants, etc.
Do not install this air conditioner in a special-purpose room such as a ship or
any kind of vehicle, otherwise it deteriorates the machine performance.
• Avoid exposing potted plants and animals to wind of the air conditioner,
because it badly affects the health and growing of them.
• When the air conditioner is used in a closed room, be careful of sufficient
ventilation of the room. Poor ventilation causes oxygen shortage.
• Do not touch operation button with wet finger; otherwise, you may get an
electric shock.
• Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly exposed
to wind of the air conditioner; otherwise, it may cause imperfect combustion.
• When the air conditioner won't be used for a considerably long time, turn off
the main switch or the circuit breaker, for safety. Disconnection from the
power supply prevents the unit from lightning and power source surge.
• Do not put a vessel with water such as a vase on the unit, because water may
possibly sink into the unit and will bring about electric shock because of
deterioration in electric insulation.
• Check the concrete blocks, etc. underneath the outdoor unit occasionally. If
the base is left damaged or deteriorated, the unit may topple over and inflict
an injury on a person as the worst case.
• Do not wash the unit with water. It may cause an electric shock.
• Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, glass cleaner, polishing powder, etc. for
cleaning the unit, because they deteriorate or damage the air conditioner.
• When cleaning the unit, make sure to turn off the main switch or circuit
breaker beforehand for preventing you from getting injured by the electric fan
running inside.
For details of cleaning method, refer to "Maintenance" on page 17 and 18.
• Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor step onto it. If you do so, it may
not only topple over the unit but also injure yourself.
• To make the air conditioner demonstrate its original performance, operate it
within the range of the operating temperature specified in the instructions.
Otherwise it may malfunction, break down or water may leak from the unit.
