D A N G E R
• HITACHI is not able to foresee all the circumstances
which may result in a potential danger.
• Do not pour water in the indoor or outdoor unit. These
products are fitted with electric components. If water co-
mes into contact with electric components, this will cau-
se a serious electric shock.
• Do not handle or adjust the safety devices inside the in-
door and outdoor units. The handling or adjustment of
these devices may result in serious accident.
• Do not open the service cover or access panel of the in-
door and outdoor units without disconnecting the main
supply.
• In the event of fire, switch off the mains, put out the fire

The air conditioning system should only be installed by qualified
personnel, with the necessary resources, tools and equipment,
who are familiar with the safety procedures required to successfu-
lly carry out the installation.
PLEASE READ AND FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH THE
MANUAL BEFORE STARTING WORK ON THE INSTALLA-
TION OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. Failure to observe
the instructions for installation, use and operation described in

• Refrigerant leaks may hinder respiration as the gas displaces
the air in the room.
• Fit the indoor unit, the outdoor unit, the remote control and
the cable at a minimum of 3 metres away from sources of
strong radiation from electromagnetic waves, such as medical
equipment.
• Do not use sprays, such as insecticides, varnishes or enamels
or any other inflammable gas within a metre of the system.
• If the circuit breaker or supply fuse of the unit comes on fre-
quently, stop the system and contact the service suppler.
• Do not carry out maintenance or inspection work yourself.
This work must be carried out by qualified service personnel
with suitable tools and resources for the work.
• Do not place any foreign material (branches, sticks, etc.) in
the air inlet or outlet of the unit. These units are fitted with high
speed fans and contact with any object is dangerous.
• This appliance must be used only by adult and capable
people, having received the technical information or instruc-
tions to handle this appliance properly and safely.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
N O T E
• The air in the room should be renewed and the room ventila-
ted every 3 or 4 hours.
• The system fitter and specialist shall provide anti-leak safety
in accordance with local regulations.
Do not install the unit in the following places, as this may lead to
a fire, deformities, rusting or faults:
• Places where oil is present (including oil for machinery).
• Places with a high concentration of sulphurous gas, such as
spas.
• Places where flammable gases may be generated or circu-
late.
• Places with a saline, acidic or alkaline atmosphere.
Do not install the unit in places where silicon gas is present. Any
silicon gas deposited on the surface of the heat exchanger will re-
pel water. As a result, the condensate water will splash out of the
collection tray and into the electrical box. Water leaks or electrical
faults may eventually be caused.
Do not install the unit in a place where the current of expelled
air directly affects animals or plants as they could be adversely
affected.
