Safety Precautions
■ Installation
Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after instal-
lation or repair of product.
• Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of
product.
Keep level even when installing the product.
• To avoid vibration or water leakage.
Use power cables of sufficient current
carrying capacity and rating.
• Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and
cause a fire.
Keep the unit away from children. The heat exchanger
is very sharp.
• It can cause the injury, such as cutting the finger. Also the
damaged fin may result in degradation of capacity.
Do not install the product where it is exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.
• It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product
malfunction or inefficient operation.
■ Operation
Do not use the air conditioner in special
environments.
• Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the
performance of the air conditioner or damage its parts.
Make the connections securely so that the outside
force of the cable may not be applied to the terminals.
• Inadequate connection and fastening may generate heat
and cause a fire.
Install and insulate the drain hose to ensure that water is drained away properly based on the installation manual.
• A bad connection may cause water leakage.

Outdoor Unit
Do not install the product where the noise or hot air
from the outdoor unit could damage the neighbor-
hoods.
• It may cause a problem for your neighbors.
Do not install the unit where combustible gas may
leak.
• If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an
explosion may result.
Do not use the product for special purposes, such as
preserving foods, works of art, etc. It is a consumer air
conditioner, not a precision refrigeration system.
• There is risk of damage or loss of property.
When installting the unit in a hospital, communication
station, or similar place, provide sufficient protection
against noise.
• The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequen-
cy medical equipment, or radio communication equipment may
cause the air conditioner to operate erroneously, or fail to oper-
ate. On the other hand, the air conditioner may affect such
equipment by creating noise that disturbs medical treatment or
image broadcasting.
Do not block the inlet or outlet.
• It may cause failure of appliance or accident.
Be sure the installation area does not deteriorate with
age.
• If the base collapses, the air conditioner could fall with it,
causing property damage, product failure, and personal
injury.
