for refrigerant leaks when
moving the air conditioner.
5. Carry out a test cycle after
installing the air conditioner
and record the operating data.
6. Protect the indoor unit with a
fuse of suitable capacity for
the maximum input current
or with another overload
protection device.
7. Ensure that the mains voltage
corresponds to that stamped
on the rating plate. Keep the
switch or power plug clean.

and firmly into the socket,
thereby avoiding the risk of
electric shock or fire due to
insufficient contact.
8. Check that the socket is
suitable for the plug, otherwise
have the socket changed.
9. The appliance must be fitted
with means for disconnection
from the supply mains
having a contact separation
in all poles that provide full
disconnection under over
voltage category Ill conditions,
and these means must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring
in accordance with the wiring
rules.
10.The air conditioner must be

modules.
3. Do not touch the appliance
when barefoot or parts of the
body are wet or damp.
4. 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.
5. In no way alter the
characteristics of the
appliance.
6. Do not install the appliance
in environments where the
air could contain gas, oil or
sulphur or near sources of
heat.
7. 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.
8. Do not climb onto or place any
heavy or hot objects on top of
the appliance.
9. Do not leave windows or
doors open for long when the
air conditioner is operating.
10.Do not direct the airflow onto
plants or animals.
1 Safety precautions

12 / 62 EN Split type air conditioner / User Manual
11.A long direct exposition
to the flow of cold air of
the conditioner could have
negative effects on plants and
animals.
12.Do not put the conditioner
in contact with water. The
electrical insulation could be
