SAFETY RULES AND PROHIBITIONS 
  Do not bend, tug or compress the power cord since this could damage it. Electrical shocks or fire 
are  probably due to a damaged power cord. Specialized technical personnel only must replace a 
damaged  power cord. 
  Do not use extensions or gang modules. 
  Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or parts of the body are wet or damp. 
  Do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet of the indoor or the outdoor unit. The obstruction of these 
openings  causes a reduction in the operative efficiency of the conditioner with possible consequent 
failures or  damages. 
  In no way alter the characteristics of the appliance. 
  Do not install the appliance in environments where the air could contain gas, oil or sulphur or 
near  sources of heat. 
  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory 
or  mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given 
supervision or  instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 
  Do not climb onto or place any heavy or hot objects on top of the appliance. 
  Do not leave windows or doors open for long when the air conditioner is operating. 
  Do not direct the airflow onto plants or animals. 
  A long direct exposition to the flow of cold air of the conditioner could have negative effects on plants 
and  animals. 
  Do not put the conditioner in contact with water. The electrical insulation could be damaged and 
thus  causing electrocution. 
  Do not climb onto or place any objects on the outdoor unit 
  Never insert a stick or similar object into the appliance. It could cause injury. 
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. If the supply cord is 
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in 
order  to avoid a hazard.
