• After the indoor unit is switched OFF with the remote controller, make
sure to turn the breaker OFF or disconnect the power plug.
Do not expose your body directly to cool air for a prolonged length
of time.
• This could be detrimental to your health.
The unit should not be installed, relocated, disassembled, altered,
or repaired by the user.
• An improperly handled air conditioner may cause fi re, electric shock,
injury, or water leakage, etc. Consult your dealer.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer or its service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
When installing, relocating, or servicing the unit, make sure that no
substance other than the specifi ed refrigerant (R32/R410A) enters
the refrigerant circuit.
• Any presence of foreign substance such as air can cause abnormal
pressure rise and may result in explosion or injury.

Meanings of symbols used in this manual
: Be sure not to do.
: Be sure to follow the instruction.
: Never insert your fi nger or stick, etc.
: Never step onto the indoor/outdoor unit and do not put anything on
them.
: Danger of electric shock. Be careful.

• 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).

The indoor unit must be installed in rooms which exceed the fl oor
space specifi ed. Please consult your dealer.
This appliance is intended to be used by expert or trained users in
shops, in light industry and on farms, or for commercial use by lay
persons.
