Safety Considerations - Daikin FXUQ18PVJU Manual Del Operacion

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Read these Safety Considerations for Operations carefully
before installing air conditioning equipment. After complet-
ing the installation, make sure that the unit operates properly
during the startup operation. Instruct the customer on how to
operate and maintain the unit.
Inform customers that they should store this Operation Manual
with the Installation Manual for future reference.

DANGER
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable ma-
terials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air condition-
er or heat pump such as smoke or fire could result in
severe injury or death. Turn off the power and contact
your dealer immediately.
• Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it come in
contact with fire, such as from a fan, heater, stove,
or cooking device. Exposure to this gas could cause
severe injury or death.
• For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxy-
gen.
A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, espe-
cially in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could
occur leading to serious injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same
room as the air conditioner or heat pump, there is the
danger of oxygen deficiency which could lead to an as-
phyxiation hazard resulting in serious injury or death.
Be sure to ventilate the room sufficiently to avoid this
hazard.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials. Packing ma-
terials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts,
may cause stabs or other injuries.
• Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so
that children can not play with them.
Children playing with plastic bags face the danger of
death by suffocation.

WARNING
• Contact your dealer for repair and maintenance. Im-
proper repair and maintenance may result in water-
leakage, electric shock, and fire. Only use accessories
made by Daikin that are specifically designed for use
with the equipment and have them installed by a pro-
fessional.
• Contact your dealer to move and reinstall the air condi-
tioner or heat pump. Incomplete installation may result
in water leakage, electric shock, and fire.
• Never let the indoor unit or the remote controller get
wet. Water can cause an electric shock or a fire.
• Never use flammable spray such as hair spray, lacquer,
or paint near the unit. Flammable spray may cause a
fire.
• When a fuse blows out, never replace it with one of
incorrect ampere ratings or different wires. Always
replace any blown fuse with a fuse of the same specifi-
cation.
• Never remove the fan guard of the unit. A fan rotating at
high speed without the fan guard is very dangerous.
• Never inspect or service the unit by yourself. Contact a
qualified service person to perform this work.
• Turn off all electrical power before doing any mainte-
nance to avoid the risk of serious electric shock; never
sprinkle or spill water or liquids on the unit. Do not
touch the switch with wet fingers.
Touching a switch with wet fingers can cause electric
shock.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the unit to
prevent injury.
• The heat exchanger fins are sharp enough to cut. To
avoid injury wear gloves or cover the fins while work-
ing around them.
• Do not put a finger or other objects into the air inlet
or air outlet. The fan is rotating at high speed and may
cause injury.
• Check the unit foundation for damage on a continuous
basis, especially if it has been in use for a long time. If
left in a damaged condition the unit may fall and cause
injury.
• Placing a flower vase or other containers with water or
other liquids on the unit could cause a shock or fire if a
spill occurs.
• Do not touch the air outlet or horizontal blades while
the swing flap is in operation because fingers could get
caught and injured.
• Never touch the internal parts of the controller. Do not
remove the front panel because some parts inside are
dangerous to touch. To check and adjust internal parts,
contact your dealer.
• Be sure to ground the unit.
Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or
telephone ground. Incomplete grounding may cause
electrical shock, or fire. A high surge current from
lightning or other sources may cause damage to the air
conditioner or heat pump.
• This equipment can be installed with a Ground-Fault
Circuit Breaker (GFCI). Although this is a recognized
measure for additional protection, with the earthing
system in North America, a dedicated GFCI is not
necessary.
