WARNING
PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION
Do not reconstruct the unit.●
Water leakage, fault, short circuit or fire may occur if you reconstruct the unit by
yourself.
Please ask your sales agent or qualified technician for the installation of your unit.
●
Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you install the unit by yourself.
Please use earth line.
●
Do not place the earth line near water or gas pipes, lightning-conductor, or the earth
line of telephone. Improper installation of earth line may cause electric shock.
Be sure to use the specified piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in
●
broken copper pipes or faults.
A circuit breaker should be installed depending on the mounting site of the unit.
●
Without a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.
Do not install near location where there is flammable gas. The outdoor unit may
●
catch fire if flammable gas leaks around it.
Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.
●

Do not insert a finger, a rod or other objects into the air outlet or inlet. As the fan●
is rotating at a high speed, it will cause injury. Before cleaning, be sure to stop the
operation and turn the breaker OFF.
During thunder storm, disconnect and turn off the circuit breaker.
●
Do not use any conductor as fuse wire, this could cause fatal accident.●
PRECAUTIONS DURING SHIFTING OR MAINTENANCE
Should abnormal situation arises (like burning smell), please stop operating the●
unit and turn off the circuit breaker. Contact your agent. Fault, short circuit or fire
may occur if you continue to operate the unit under abnormal situation.
Please contact your agent for maintenance. Improper self maintenance may cause
●
electric shock and fire.
Please contact your agent if you need to remove and reinstall the unit. Electric
●
shock or fire may occur if you remove and reinstall the unit yourself improperly.

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
Do not attempt to operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal●
accident.
When operating the unit with burning equipments, regularly ventilate the
●
room to avoid oxygen insufficiency.
Do not direct the cool air coming out from the air-conditioner panel to face●
household heating apparatus as this may affect the working of apparatus
such as the electric kettle, oven etc.
Do not use any aerosol or hair sprays near the indoor unit. This chemical
●
can adhere on heat exchanger fin and blocked the evaporation water flow to
drain pan. The water will drop on tangential fan and cause water splashing
out from indoor unit.
Please ensure that outdoor mounting frame is always stable, firm and●
without defect. If not, the outdoor unit may collapse and cause danger.
Do not splash or direct water to the body of the unit when cleaning it as this●
may cause short circuit.
When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is always above●
80%) and with the air deflector facing down or moving automatically for a long period of time,
water will condense on the air deflector and drips down occasionally. This will wet your furniture.
Therefore, do not operate under such condition for a long time.
If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling or heating capability of the unit (for example:●
more people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.), the preset room temperature
cannot be achieved.
This appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
●
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction. Children must be supervised not to play with the appliance.
Do not climb on the outdoor unit or put objects on it.●
Please switch off the unit and turn off the circuit breaker during cleaning, the●
high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.
Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not to be operated for a long period.
●

N
The product shall be operated under the manufacturer specification and●
not for any other intended use.
Do not put water container (like vase) on the indoor unit to avoid water●
dripping into the unit. Dripping water will damage the insulator inside the unit
and causes short-circuit.
Do not place plants directly under the air flow as it is bad for the plants.●
Do not hang any laundry onto the moveable panels.●
The moveable panels may get dislodged and may cause serious injuries.
