Safety Precautions - Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-EF18VE3W Notice D'utilisation

S
AFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not insert your fi nger, a stick, or other objects into the air inlet
or outlet.
• This may cause injury, since the fan inside rotates at high speeds during
operation.
In case of an abnormal condition (such as a burning smell), stop the
air conditioner and disconnect the power plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• A continued operation in the abnormal state may cause a malfunction,
fi re, or electric shock. In this case, consult your dealer.
When the air conditioner does not cool or heat, there is a possibility of
refrigerant leakage. If any refrigerant leakage is found, stop operations
and ventilate the room well and consult your dealer immediately. If a
repair involves recharging the unit with refrigerant, ask the service
technician for details.
• The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is not harmful. Normally, it
does not leak. However, if refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with
fi re or heating part of such a fan heater, kerosene heater, or cooking
stove, it will create harmful gas and there is risk of fi re.
The user should never attempt to wash the inside of the indoor unit.
Should the inside of the unit require cleaning, contact your dealer.
• Unsuitable detergent may cause damage to plastic material inside
the unit, which may result in water leakage. Should detergent come in
contact with electrical parts or the motor, it will result in a malfunction,
smoke, or fi re.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating
ignition sources (for example: open fl ames, an operating gas appliance
or an operating electric heater).
• Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the
appliance, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not pierce or burn.
When the indoor unit is connected to the multi type outdoor unit of R32
refrigerant, please consult your dealer about the fl oor space specifi ed.

Do not operate the unit for more than 4 hours at high humidity (80%
RH or more) and/or with windows or outside door left open.
• This may cause the water condensation in the air conditioner, which
may drip down, wetting or damaging the furniture.
• The water condensation in the air conditioner may contribute to growth
of fungi, such as mold.
Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing food,
raising animals, growing plants, or preserving precision devices
or art objects.
• This may cause deterioration of quality, or harm to animals and plants.
Do not expose combustion appliances to direct airfl ow.

ingestion.
• Battery ingestion may cause choking and/or poisoning.
Before cleaning the unit, switch it OFF and disconnect the power plug
or turn the breaker OFF.
• This may cause injury, since the fan inside rotates at high speeds during
operation.
When the unit will be unused for a long time, disconnect the power
plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• The unit may accumulate dirt, which may cause overheating or fi re.
Replace all batteries of the remote controller with new ones of the
same type.
• Using an old battery together with a new one may cause overheating,
leakage, or explosion.
If the battery fl uid comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash
them thoroughly with clean water.

of a lightning strike.
• The unit may be damaged if lightning strikes.
After the air conditioner is used for several seasons, perform inspec-
tion and maintenance in addition to normal cleaning.
• Dirt or dust in the unit may create an unpleasant odor, contribute to
growth of fungi, such as mold, or clog the drain passage, and cause
water to leak from the indoor unit. Consult your dealer for inspection
and maintenance, which require specialized knowledge and skills.
Do not operate switches with wet hands.
• This may cause electric shock.

contains water, such as a fl ower vase, on it.
• This may cause fi re or electric shock.
Do not step on or place any object on the outdoor unit.
• This may cause injury if you or the object falls down.
IMPORTANT
Dirty fi lters cause condensation in the air conditioner which will contribute to the
growth of fungi such as mold. It is therefore recommended to clean air fi lters every
2 weeks.
Before starting the operation, ensure that the horizontal vanes are in the closed posi-
tion. If operation starts when the horizontal vanes are in the open position, they may
not return to the correct position.
