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 shall 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 gas may not contain an odour. The appliance must be installed, operated and stored in a room with floor area larger than – m². Since the maximum refrigerant charge of the model is below 1.22kg, it does not have any limitation for the minimum floor area. The appliance should be installed in a well-ventilated room. 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, repair, dismantle reinstall or modify the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric shocks or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or technicians who have been trained to install, relocate and dismantle.
	Beware of fire in case of refrigerant gas leakage. If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool 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 a leakage, contact with a naked burner, heater or cooker may result in generation of noxious gas. Do not longer 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. Contact your dealer for repair and maintenance. Improper repair and maintenance may result in water leakage, electric shock, and fire. Only use accessories made by manufacture that are specifically designed for use with the equipment and have them installed by a technicians who have been trained to install.
	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 appliance. 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

	In order to avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the appliance when harmful, among which flammable or corrosive gases, are detected near the appliance. Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool air from the air conditioner, or to air that is too cool, 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 sprays (such as hairspray, insecticides, disinfectants, air dusters, etc.) or deodorants near the unit and avoid spraying them directly onto the unit. Do not wipe the unit with benzene or thinner. May cause fire, water leakage, refrigerant leakage, deformation of the main unit, malfunction, etc. 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 appliances.

About the power cord

	Only connect the appliance 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 install, repair, dismantle reinstall or modify the appliances yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric shocks or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or technicians who have been trained to install, relocate and dismantle.

Terminate operation if abnormality or malfunction are observed

	When the appliance is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour, etc.), turn off power to the appliance 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 appliance for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Do not use the appliance 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 appliance 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 sway 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 of the appliance. The wires may be broken, as this may result in electric shocks or property damage may result. Do not locate obstacles in the path of the front panel. The front panel may fall, and injury or property damage may result. Do not bend or damage the wires. The wires may be broken, and injury or property damage may result. Do not put objects on the front panel, or otherwise production malfunctioning may result.
	To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner is used together with the appliance. Do not place objects around the appliance. Doing so may have an adverse influence on the performance, product quality, and life of the appliance.

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 appliance stand and mounts for damage. If they are left in a damaged condition, the appliance 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 appliance, such animals can cause malfunctions, smoke or fire if they come into contact with electrical parts.
