CAUTION
• Do not use the air conditioner or heat pump for any other
purposes other than comfort cooling or heating. Do not
use the unit for cooling precision instruments, food,
plants, animals or works of art.
• Do not place items under the indoor unit it could result in
damage by condensates that may form if the humidity is
above 80% or if the drain outlet gets blocked.
• Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by turning
the power off or by pulling the supply cord out from its
receptacle. Otherwise, an electric shock and injury
could result.
• Do not wash the air conditioner or heat pump with
excessive water. An electric shock or fire could result.
• Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with
water. Water entering the controller could result in an
electric shock or damage the internal electronic parts.
• Do not operate the air conditioner or heat pump when
using a room fumigation type of insecticide. Failure to
observe this could result in the chemicals to be depos-
ited in the unit and can endanger the health of those who
are hypersensitive to chemicals.
• Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping
operation. Always wait for at least five minutes before
turning off the power. Otherwise, water leakage could
result.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
• The remote controller should be kept away from children
so they cannot play with it.
• Consult with the installation contractor for cleaning.
• Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the air conditioner or
heat pump could result in the plastics parts break result-
ing in water leakage or electric shock.
• Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fin of the air con-
ditioner or heat pump as they can cut and could result in
injury.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor
unit. Do not let leaves and other debris accumulate
around the unit. Leaves are a hotbed for small animals
which can enter the unit. Once inside the unit, animals
can result in the unit malfunctioning, and could result in
smoke or fire when they make contact with electrical
parts.
NOTE
• Never press the button of the remote controller with a
hard, pointed object. The remote controller may be dam-
aged.
• Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote control-
ler. It may result in the unit malfunctioning.
• Do not place appliances that produce open flames in
places that are exposed to the air flow of the unit or
under the indoor unit. It may result in incomplete com-
bustion or deformation of the unit due to the heat.
• Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight. The LCD
display can become discolored and may result in fail to
display the data.
• Do not wipe the controller operation panel with benzene,
thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The result may be that
the panel becomes discolored or the coating can peel
off. If it is heavily dirty, soak a cloth in water-diluted neu-
English
tral detergent, squeeze it well and wipe the panel clean.
Then wipe it with another dry cloth.
• Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrigerant, oil,
and additional parts, should be done in accordance with
the relevant local, state, and national regulations.
• Operate the air conditioner or heat pump in a sufficiently
ventilated area and not surrounded by obstacles. Do not
use the air conditioner or heat pump in the following
places.
a. Places with a mist of mineral oil, such as cutting oil.
b. Locations such as coastal areas where there is a lot of
salt in the air.
c. Locations such as hot springs where there is a lot of
sulfur in the air.
d. Locations such as factories where the power voltage
varies a lot.
e. In cars, boats, and other vehicles.
f. Locations such as kitchens where oil may splatter or
where there is steam in the air.
g. Locations where equipment produces electromag-
netic waves.
h. Places with an acid or alkaline mist.
i. Places where fallen leaves can accumulate or where
weeds can grow.
• Take snow protection measures. Contact your dealer for
the details of snow protection measures, such as the
use of a snow protection hood.
• Do not attempt to do electrical work or grounding work
unless you are licensed to do so. Consult with your
dealer for electrical work and grounding work.
• Pay Attention to Operating Sound. Be sure to use the fol-
lowing places:
a. Places that can sufficiently withstand the weight of
the air conditioner or heat pump yet can suppress the
operating sound and vibration.
b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the out-
door unit or the operating sound of the outdoor unit
does not annoy neighbors.
• Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the out-
door unit. Obstacles close to the outdoor unit may drop
the performance of the outdoor unit or increase the
operating sound of the outdoor unit.
• Consult your dealer if the air conditioner or heat pump in
operation generates unusual noise.
• Make sure that the drainpipe is installed properly to
drain water. If no water is discharged from the drainpipe
while the air conditioner or heat pump is in the cooling
mode, the result may be that the drain pipe becomes
clogged with dust or dirt and water leakage from the
indoor unit may occur. Stop operating the air conditioner
or heat pump and contact your dealer.
