Safety Considerations
Read these Safety Considerations for Operations carefully
before installing air conditioner or heat pump. Make sure that
the unit operates properly during the startup operation.
Instruct the customer on how to operate and maintain the unit.
Inform customers that they should store this Operation
Manual with the Installation Manual for future reference.
Meanings of DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE
Symbols:
DANGER ............Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING ..........Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION ...........Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. It
may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
NOTE .................Indicates situations that may result in
equipment or property-damage
accidents only.
DANGER
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable
materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting
in serious injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air
conditioner or heat pump such as smoke or fire will
result in severe injury or death. Turn off the power and
contact your dealer immediately.
• Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes into
contact with fire, such as from a fan, heater, stove, or
cooking device. Exposure to this gas will result in
severe injury or death.
• For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces
oxygen. A massive leak will result in oxygen depletion,
especially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard
will result leading to serious injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same
room as the air conditioner or heat pump, 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, will result in 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.

WARNING
• Contact your dealer for repair and maintenance.
Improper repair and maintenance could result in water
leakage, electric shock, and fire. Only use accessories
made by Daikin that are specifically designed for use
with the equipment and have them installed by a
professional.
• Contact your dealer to move and reinstall the air
conditioner or heat pump. Incomplete installation
could result in water leakage, electric shock, and fire.
• Never let the indoor unit or the remote controller get
wet. Water could result in an electric shock or a fire.
• Never use flammable spray such as hair spray,
lacquer, or paint near the unit. Flammable spray could
result in a fire.
• When a fuse blows out, never replace it with one of
incorrect ampere ratings or different wires. Always
replace any blown fuse with a fuse of the same
specification.
• Never remove the fan guard of the unit. A fan rotating
at high speed without the fan guard is very dangerous
and could result in injury.
• Never inspect or service the unit by yourself. Contact
a qualified service person to perform this work.
• Turn off all electrical power before doing any
maintenance to avoid the risk of serious electric
shock; never sprinkle or spill water or liquids on the
unit.
• Do not touch the switch with wet fingers.
Touching a switch with wet fingers could result in
electric shock.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit to
prevent injury.
• The heat exchanger fins are sharp enough to cut. To
avoid injury wear gloves or cover the fins while
working around them.
• Do not put a finger or other objects into the air inlet or
air outlet. The fan is rotating at high speed and could
result in injury.
• Check the unit foundation for damage on a continuous
basis, especially if it has been in use for a long time. If
left in a damaged condition the unit may fall and could
result in injury.
• Placing a flower vase or other containers with water or
other liquids on the unit could result in a shock or fire
if a spill occurs.
• Do not touch the air outlet or horizontal blades while
the swing flap is in operation could result in fingers
getting caught and injured.
• Never touch the internal parts of the controller. Do not
remove the front panel because some parts inside are
dangerous to touch. To check and adjust internal
parts, contact your dealer.
• Be sure to establish a ground.
Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or
telephone ground. Incomplete grounding may cause
electrical shock, or fire. A high surge current from
lightning or other sources may cause damage to the
air conditioner.
