Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by turn-
•
ing the power off or by pulling the supply cord out from
its receptacle. Otherwise, an electric shock and injury
may result.
Do not wash the air conditioner with excessive water.
•
An electric shock or fi re 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 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 hyper-
sensitive to chemicals.
Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping
•
operation. Always wait for at least fi ve minutes before
turning off the power. Otherwise, water leakage may
occur.
The appliance is not intended for use by young chil-
•
dren or infi rm persons without supervision.
The remote controller should be kept away from chil-
•
dren so they cannot play with it.
Consult with the installation contractor for cleaning.
•
Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the air conditioner
•
could make the plastics parts break and cause water
leakage or electric shock.
Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fi n of the air
•
conditioner as they can cut and cause injury.
Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outside
•
unit. Do not let leaves and other debris accumulate
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
fi re 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 con-
•
troller. It may cause the unit to malfunction.
Do not place appliances that produce open fl ames in
•
places that are exposed to the air fl ow 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 ben-
•
zene, 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 accordance
with the relevant local, state, and national regulations.
Operate the air conditioner in a suffi ciently ventilated
•
area and not surrounded by obstacles. Do not use the
air conditioner 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 suffi ciently withstand the weight of
the air conditioner yet can suppress the operating
sound and vibration of the air conditioner.
b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the
outside unit or the operating sound of the outside
unit does not annoy neighbors.
Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the
•
outside unit. Obstacles close to the outside unit may
drop the performance of the outside unit or increase
the operating sound of the outside unit.
Consult your dealer if the air conditioner 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 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 and contact your dealer.
