Precautions For Use - Whirlpool AMD 385 Mode D'emploi

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

• Never operate the air conditioner with wet
hands.
• Operate the air conditioner at the rated voltage
with tolerance of ±10% of rated for
fluctuation.
The compressor will vibrate if the voltage is too
low, causing damage to the cooling system.
• If you notice anything unusual (e.g. burnt smell),
switch off the power supply immediately and
contact the Whirlpool Authorized Service
Centre nearest you.
If the abnormal condition continues, the air
conditioner could be damaged and could also
cause electrocution or fire.
• Grounding: The unit must be reliably grounded.
The grounding cable must be connected to the
special grounding system in the building.
If the building does not have a grounding
system, ask an expert electrician to install one.
Never connect the grounding cable to a gas
pipe, water pipe, sewage pipe or other unless
the professional considers it reliable.
• Set the room temperature appropriately. The
difference between indoor and outdoor
temperature should be 5°C.
Appropriate adjustment of the temperature
setting serves to reduce consumption.
• When the air conditioner is running, do not
leave doors and windows open in the room.
This will prevent loss of effectiveness of the air
conditioner.
• Never block the air inlet or outlet of indoor and
outdoor unit, as this will decrease the effect of
the air conditioner or cause it to shut down or
even catch fire.
• Spray cans, chemicals and gas tanks must be
placed at least 1m away from the indoor and
outdoor unit; they could cause fire or explosion
• Make sure to mount the outdoor unit on a
sturdy base. If the base is damaged and
unsteady, the unit could fall and cause injury.
• Do not stand or place anything on the outdoor
unit. Persons or objects falling from the unit
could cause injuries.
• Do not repair the air conditioner yourself.
Incorrect repairs could cause electrocution or
fire. Contact the Whirlpool Authorized Service
Centre nearest you for repairs.
• Never reach with your finger or a stick into the
indoor or outdoor unit.
• Never blow the air directly at pets or plants, as
this may harm them.
• Never spray water onto the unit or wash the air
conditioner with water.
• Never let the air conditioner blow on a heat
source. This could put the flame out and cause
carbon monoxide poisoning.
• To avoid any harm to your health, do not blow
the cold air on your body too long or lower the
room temperature too much.
• This air conditioner cannot be used for drying
clothes or chilling foods.
• Do not spray any paint or pesticide on the unit,
or it may cause fire.
• Persistent abnormality indicates that the air
conditioner may be damaged with the
consequent risk of electric shock or fire. This
may cause an electric shock.
• To prevent fire always use a special power
supply circuit.
• Disconnect the air conditioner from the power
supply if it is to be left unused for a long period.
• Ensure that the power supply is suitably
protected by a special circuit with air breaker.
The air conditioner automatically starts or stops
according to requirements. Do not switch the
air conditioner on and off too often as this can
damage the appliance. This may cause an
electric shock or injury.
• Do not cut or damage the external cable. Any
damaged external cable must be replaced by
qualified electricians.
