2TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
ENGLISH
• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condi-
tioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

hood with sufficient
capacity.
Cooking table
Air conditioner
Take enough
distance
• Install the unit horizontally using a level
gauge.
• During the installation, care should be
taken not to damage electric wires.
• Select and mark the position for fixing
bolts and piping hole.
• Decide the position for fixing bolts
slightly tilted to the drain direction after
considering the direction of drain hose.
• Drill the hole for anchor bolt on the ceil-
ing.
CAUTION
!NOTE
!
• Avoid the following installation location.
1. Such places as restaurants and kitchen
where considerable amount of oil
steam and flour is generated.
These may cause heat exchange effi-
ciency reduction, or water drops, drain
pump mal-function.
In these cases, take the following ac-
tions;
• Make sure that ventilation fan is enough
to cover all noxious gases from this
place.
• Ensure enough distance from the cook-
ing room to install the air conditioner in
such a place where it may not suck oily
steam.
2. Avoid installng air conditioner in such
places where cooking oil or iron pow-
der is generated.
3. Avoid places where inflammable gas is
generated.
4. Avoid place where noxious gas is gen-
erated.
5. Avoid places near high frequency gen-
erators.
