DANGER
• 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.
• Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes
in contact with fire such as from a fan heater, stove or
cooking device. Exposure to this gas could cause severe
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
for instructions.
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable
materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in
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.
