WARNING
• In order to avoid fi re, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when harmful, among which
fl ammable or corrosive gases, 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 fi ngers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet. Product malfunctioning, •
product or injury damage may result due to contact with the air conditioner’s high-speed fan blades.
Do not attempt to repair, dismantle, reinstall or modify the air conditioner yourself as this may result •
in water leakage, electric shocks or fi re hazards.
Do not use fl ammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise fi re may result. •
• Beware of fi re 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 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 qualifi ed service person confi rms that the leakage has been repaired.
Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric •
shocks or fi re hazards. Please contact your local dealer or qualifi ed personnel for installation and maintenance work.
When 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 shocks or fi re hazards.
Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker. Failure to install the earth leakage breaker may result in electric shocks or fi re. •
• 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 shocks.
CAUTION
• 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 airfl ow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects. •
Do not place appliances that produce naked fl ames in places exposed to the airfl ow from the unit as •
this may impair combustion of the burner.
