PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
●The product shall be operated under the manufacturer specification and
not for any other intended use.
●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 place plants directly under the air flow as it is bad for the plants.
●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.
●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.
●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 capability of the unit (for example: more
people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.), the preset room temperature
cannot be achieved.
●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.
