CAUTION
•
Do not use the air conditioner or heat pump for any
other purposes other than comfort cooling or heat-
ing. Do not use the unit for cooling precision instru-
ments, food, plants, animals or works of art.
•
Do not place items under the indoor unit as they may
be damaged by condensates that may form if the
humidity is above 80% or if the drain outlet gets
blocked.
• Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by
turning the power off or by pulling the supply cord
out from its receptacle. Otherwise, an electric shock
or injury may result.
•
Do not wash the air conditioner or heat pump with
excessive water. An electric shock or fire may result.
•
Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with
water. Water entering the controller may cause an
electric shock or damage the internal electronic
parts.
•
Do not operate the air conditioner or heat pump
when using a room fumigation type of insecticide.
Failure to observe this could cause the chemicals to
be deposited in the unit and can endanger the health
of those who are hypersensitive to chemicals.
•
Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping
operation. Always wait for at least five minutes
before turning off the power. Otherwise, water leak
-
age may occur.
•
The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
•
The remote controller should be kept away from
children so they cannot play with it.
•
Consult with the installation contractor for cleaning.
•
Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the air conditioner
or heat pump could make the plastics parts break
and cause water leakage or electric shock.
• Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fin of the air
conditioner or heat pump as they can cut and cause
injury.
•
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the out-
door unit. Do not let leaves and other debris accumu-
late around the unit. Leaves are a hotbed for small
animals which can enter the unit. Once inside the
unit, animals can cause the unit to malfunction, and
cause smoke or fire when they make contact with
electrical parts.
NOTE
•
Never press the button of the remote controller with
a hard, pointed object. The remote controller may be
damaged.
•
Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote
controller. It may cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not place appliances that produce open flames in
places that are exposed to the airflow of the unit or
under the indoor unit. It may cause incomplete com-
bustion or deformation of the unit due to the heat.
•
Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight. The
LCD display can become discolored and may fail to
display the data.
•
Do not wipe the controller operation panel with
benzene, thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel
may get discolored or the coating can peel off. If it is
heavily dirty, soak a cloth in water-diluted neutral
detergent, squeeze it well and wipe the panel clean.
Then wipe it with another dry cloth.
• Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrigerant,
oil, and additional parts, should be done in accor
-
dance with the relevant local, state, and national
regulations.
• Operate the air conditioner or heat pump in a suffi
-
ciently ventilated area and not surrounded by obsta-
cles. Do not use the air conditioner or heat pump in
the following places.
a.
Places with a mist of mineral oil, such as cutting
oil.
b. Locations such as coastal areas where there is a
lot of salt in the air.
c. Locations such as hot springs where there is a lot
of sulfur in the air.
d. Locations such as factories where the power
voltage varies a lot.
e.
In cars, boats, and other vehicles.
f. Locations such as kitchens where oil may splatter
or where there is steam in the air.
g. Locations where equipment produces electromag-
netic waves.
h. Places with an acid or alkaline mist.
i. Places where fallen leaves can accumulate or
where weeds can grow.
•
Take snow protection measures. Contact your dealer
for the details of snow protection measures, such as
the use of a snow protection hood.
•
Do not attempt to do electrical work or grounding
work unless you are licensed to do so. Consult with
your dealer for electrical work and grounding work.
•
Pay Attention to Operating Sound. Be sure to use the
following places:
a.
Places that can sufficiently withstand the weight
of the air conditioner or heat pump yet can sup-
press the operating sound and vibration of the air
conditioner or heat pump.
b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the
outdoor unit or the operating sound of the outdoor
unit does not annoy neighbors.
•
Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the
outdoor unit. Obstacles close to the outdoor unit
may drop the performance of the outdoor unit or
increase the operating sound of the outdoor unit.
•
Consult your dealer if the air conditioner or heat
pump in operation generates unusual noise.
•
Make sure that the drainpipe is installed properly to
drain water. If no water is discharged from the drain-
pipe while the air conditioner or heat pump is in the
cooling mode, the drainpipe may be clogged with
dust or dirt and water leakage from the indoor unit
may occur. Stop operating the air conditioner or heat
pump and contact your dealer.
