Disposal of your old air conditioner
Before disposing of an old air conditioner that goes out of use, please make sure it
is inoperative and safe. Unplug the air conditioner in order to avoid the risk of child
entrapment.
It must be noted that the air conditioner system contains refrigerant, which requires
specialized waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in an air conditioner
can be recycled. Contact your local waste disposal center for proper disposal of an
old air conditioner and contact your local authority or your dealer if you have any
questions. Please ensure that the tubing of your air conditioner does not get
damaged prior to being picked up by the waste disposal center, and contribute to
environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate, antipollution method of
disposal.
Disposal of the packaging of your new air conditioner
All the packaging materials employed in the packaging of your new air conditioner
may be disposed without any danger to the environment.
The cardboard box may be broken up or cut into smaller pieces and given to a
waste paper disposal service. The wrapping bag made of polyethylene and the
polyethylene foam pad contain no fluorochloric hydrocarbon.
All these valuable materials may be taken to a waste collecting center and used again
after adequate recycling.
Consult your local authorities for the name and address of the waste materials collecting
center and waste paper disposal service nearest your home or office.

Tips For Energy Saving
Avoid opening doors and windows
as much as possible.
Use curtain or blinds.
Direct sunlight may reduce cooling
effect, so always use window curtain.
Keep heat sources away from the
air conditioner.
Do not hang clothes in the vicinity
of the air inlet. This will decrease
the cooling effect and cause abnormal
operation.
Before operating the mode selection
switch, check whether the air inlet
or outlet has been blocked.
Go away!
No entrance
Keep away from me
For longer and trouble-free operation of the unit, pay special attention to
the following:
Install the air conditioner at a location strong enough to support the unit.
Leave enough space around the air inlet and outlet for better circulation.
Avoid sites where flammable gas leaks.
Problems may occur if the unit is installed in the following areas:
Place where oil exists in the air including engine oil, seaside with
salt breeze, and hot springs area with air-borne sulfurous gas.
