Safety Precautions
Use power cables of sufficient current
carrying capacity and rating.
•Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and
cause a fire.
Do not use the product for special purposes, such
as preserving foods, works of art, etc. It is a con-
sumer air conditioner, not a precision refrigeration
system.
•There is risk of damage or loss of property.
Keep the unit away from children. The heat
exchanger is very sharp.
•It can cause the injury, such as cutting the finger. Also
the gamaged fin may result in degradation of capacity.
When installting the unit in a hospital, communica-
tion station, or similar place, provide surfficient
protection against noise.
•The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-
frequency medical equipment, or radio communication
equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate
erroneously, or fail to operate. On the other hand, the
air conditioner may affect such equipment by creating
noise that disturbs medical treatment or image broad-
casting.
Do not install the product where it will be exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.
•It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause
product malfunction or inefficient operation.

Safety Precautions
■Operation
Do not use the air conditioner in special
environments.
•Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce
the performance of the air conditioner or damage its
parts.
Do not block the inlet or outlet.
•It may cause failure of appliance or accident.
Make the connections securely so that the outside
force of the cable is not applied to the terminals.
•Inadequate connection and fastening may generate
heat and cause a fire.
Be sure the installation area does not deteriorate
with age.
•If the base collapses, the air conditioner could fall with
it, causing property damage, product failure, and per-
sonal injury.
Be very careful about product transportation.
•Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs more than 20 kg.
•Some products use PP bands dor packaging. Do not use any PP bands for
a means of transportation. It is dangerous.
•Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Doing so may cut your fingers.
•When transporting the Outdoor Unit, suspending it at the specified posi-
tions on the unit base. Also support the Outdoor Unit at four points so that
it cannot slip sideways.

•Packing materials, such as mails and other metal or
wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries.
•Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so
that children will not play with them. If
children play with a plastic bag which
was not torn apart, they face the risk
of suffocation.
Turn on the power at least 2 hours before starting
operation.(In case of outdoor
temperature 5°C below)
•Starting operation immediately after turning on the
main power switch can result in severe
damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch
turned on during the operational season.
