WARNING

About R32 refrigerant

	Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. The appliance must be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater). Do not pierce or burn. Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour. The appliance must be installed, operated and stored in a room with floor area larger than –m². If the maximum refrigerant charge of the model is below 1.22kg, it does not have any limitation for the minimum floor area. Maintain an installation height of 2.5m or more from the floor surface to the bottom of the appliance.

* If the maximum refrigerant charge of the model is below 1.22kg, it does not have any limitation for the minimum floor area.
Maintain an installation height of 2.5m or more from the floor surface to the bottom of the appliance.

When installing, relocating, and repairing

	Do not use a refrigerant other than the one indicated on the outdoor unit (R32) when installing, relocating, or repairing. Using other refrigerants may cause trouble or damage to the unit, and personal injury. Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or qualified personnel for installation and maintenance work.
	Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage. If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool or warm air, refrigerant leakage could be the cause. Consult your dealer for assistance. The refrigerant within the air conditioner is safe and normally does not leak. However, in the event of leakage, contact with a naked burner, heater or cooker may result in generation of noxious gas. Do not use the air conditioner until a qualified service person confirms that the leakage has been repaired. Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Imperfect drainage may cause wetting of the building, furniture, etc.
	Be sure to install an earth leakage circuit breaker. Failure to install an earth leakage circuit breaker may result in electric shock or fire. Be sure to earth the unit. Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth lead. Imperfect earthing may result in electric shock.

When using the air conditioner

	To avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when harmful gases (e.g. flammable or corrosive) are detected near the unit. Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool or warm air from the air conditioner, or to air that is too cool or too warm, can be harmful to your physical condition and health. Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet. Product damage or personal injury may result due to contact with the air conditioner’s high-speed fan blades. Do not use flammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise fire may result. To avoid electric shock, do not operate with wet hands. Do not place flammable items, such as spray cans, within 1m of the air outlet. The spray cans may explode as a result of hot air from the indoor or outdoor units.

About the power cord

	Only connect the air conditioner to the specified power supply circuit. Power supplies other than the one specified may result in electric shock, overheating and fires.

When cleaning

	Do not attempt to repair, dismantle, reinstall or modify the air conditioner yourself as this may result in water leakage, electric shock or fire hazards.

Terminate operation if abnormality or malfunction are observed

	If the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour, etc.), turn off power to the unit and contact your local dealer. Continued operation under such circumstances may result in a failure, electric shock or fire hazards.

CAUTION

About the indoor unit

	Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Do not use the air conditioner for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this may adversely affect the performance, quality and/or longevity of the object concerned. Do not expose plants or animals directly to the airflow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects. Do not place appliances that produce naked flames in places exposed to the airflow from the unit as this may impair combustion carried out by such appliances. Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture directly beneath the indoor or outdoor units. Under certain conditions, condensation on the main unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may cause dripping, resulting in fouling or failure of the object concerned. Do not sit or hang on the panel. The panel may fall, and injury or product malfunction may result. Do not swing the panel around. The panel may hit people or objects, and injury or property damage may result. Do not let children play with or around the panel. Injury or property damage may result. Do not pull the wires. The wires may be broken and the panel may fall, and injury or property damage may result. Do not place obstacles in the path of the panel. The panel may fall, and injury or property damage may result. Do not bend or damage the wires. The wires may be broken and the panel may fall, and injury or property damage may result. Do not put objects on the panel, or otherwise product malfunction may result.
	To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner is used together with the air conditioner. Do not place objects around the indoor unit. Doing so may have an adverse influence on the performance, product quality, and life of the air conditioner.

About the outdoor unit

	Do not block the air inlets nor outlets. Impaired airflow may result in insufficient performance or trouble. Do not sit on the outdoor unit, put things on the unit, or pull the unit. Doing so may cause accidents, such as falling or toppling down, thus resulting in injury, product malfunction, or product damage. After prolonged use, check the unit stand and mounts for damage. If they are left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and cause injury. To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminium fins of the indoor or outdoor units.
	Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor unit and 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, such animals can cause malfunctions, smoke or fire if they come into contact with electrical parts.
