CAUTION
CAUTIONS ABOUT INSTALLATION
• Be sure to confirm the following cautions.
• Certainly lay the drain hose for perfect draining.
Bad 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. There
are many important things to keep in mind for daily operation.
• Do not use this air conditioner for special purposes such as preserv-
ing food, precision instruments, art objects, breeding animals,
growing potted plants, etc.
• Avoid exposing potted plants and animals to the wind of the air
conditioner, since it badly affects the health and growth of them.
• When the air conditioner is operated with a combustion appliance in
the same place, be careful of ventilation to let fresh air enter the
room.
Poor ventilation causes oxygen shortage.
• Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to the wind of air conditioner, otherwise it may cause
imperfect combustion.
• 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 any switches with wet finger, otherwise you may get an
electric shock.
• If the air conditioner won't be used for a considerably long time, turn
off the main switch or the circuit breaker, for safety.
• Check the concrete blocks, etc. of the base of the outdoor unit
occasionally.
If the base is left damaged or deteriorated, the unit may topple over
and inflict an injury to a person as the worst case.
• 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 operate in its original performance,
operate it within the range of the operating temperature specified in
the instructions.
Otherwise it may cause a malfunction, or water leak from the unit.
• Prevent any liquid from falling into the remote controller. Do not spill
juice, water or any kind of liquid.
