SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
• Do not pull or deform the power supply cord. Pulling and misuse of the power
supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause electrical shock.
• Be careful not to expose your body directly to the outlet air for a long time. It may
a󰀨ect your physical conditions.
• When using the air conditioner for infants, children, elderly, bedridden, or
disabled people make sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the
room.
• Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting objects can result in injury due to the
high speed rotation of internal fans.
• Ground the air conditioner without fail. Do not connect the grounding wire to
gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding wire. Incomplete
grounding may cause electric shock.
• If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), stop the
operation immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF.
• The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
Improper cable connection can cause the power supply cord, plug and the
electrical outlet to overheat and cause re.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualied person in order to avoid hazards. Use only
the manufacturer-specied power cord for replacement.
• Do not splash or pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock
or equipment damage.
• Do not attempt to install/remove/repair the unit by yourself. Incorrect work will
cause electric shock, water leak, re etc. Consult your dealer or other qualied
service personnel for the installation/removal/repair of the unit.
• 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 ames, an operating gas appliance or an operating
electric heater).
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• Pipe-work including piping material, pipe routing, and installation shall include
protection from physical damage in operation and service, and be in compliance
with national and local codes and standards, such as ASHRAE 15, ASHRAE
15.2, IAPMO Uniform Mechanical Code, ICC International Mechanical Code, or
CSA B52. All eld joints shall be accessible for inspection prior to being covered
or enclosed.
• The installation of pipe-work shall be kept to a minimum.
• In case of eld charge, the e󰀨ect on refrigerant charge caused by the di󰀨erent
pipe length shall be quantied.
• Provision shall be made for expansion and contraction of long runs of piping.
• Piping in refrigeration systems shall be so designed and installed to minimize the
likelihood of hydraulic shock damaging the system
