      • \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDo 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.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n
      • \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDo 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.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

      • \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBeware 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.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n
      • \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Imperfect drainage may cause wetting of the building, furniture, etc.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

      • \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBe sure to earth the unit. Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth lead.
