the room to avoid oxygen deficiency.
Do not allow children to play with the air conditioner. Children must be supervised around the
unit at all times.
operate your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Too
much exposure to water can cause electrical components to short circuit.
In certain functional environments, such as kitchens, server rooms, etc., the use of specially
designed air-conditioning units is highly recommended.
• Do not
clean the air conditioner with combustible cleaning agents. Combustible cleaning agents
can cause fire or deformation.

•
Do not pull power cord to unplug unit. Hold the plug firmly and pull it from the outlet. Pulling
directly on the cord can damage it, which can lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not modify the length of the power supply cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
Do not share the electrical outlet with other appliances. Improper or insufficient power supply
can cause fire or electrical shock.
If connecting power to fixed wiring, an all-pole disconnection device which has at least 3mm
clearances in all poles, and have a leakage current that may exceed 10mA, the residual current
device(RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA, and disconnection
must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
For all electrical work, follow all local and national wiring standards, regulations, and the
Installation Manual. Connect cables tightly, and clamp them securely to prevent external forces
from damaging the terminal. Improper electrical connections can overheat and cause fire, and may
also cause shock.
All electrical connections must be made according to the Electrical Connection
Diagram located on the panels of the indoor and outdoor units.
All wiring must be properly arranged to ensure that the control board cover can close properly. If
the control board cover is not closed properly, it can lead to corrosion and cause the connection
points on the terminal to heat up, catch fire, or cause electrical shock.
The product must be properly grounded at the time of installation, or electrical shock may occur.
TAKE NOTE OF FUSE SPECIFICATIONS
The air conditioner’s circuit board (PCB) is designed with a fuse to provide overcurrent protection.
The specifications of the fuse are printed on the circuit board ,such as :
T3.15AL/250VAC, T5AL/250VAC, T3.15A/250VAC, T5A/250VAC, T20A/250VAC, T30A/250VAC,etc.
NOTE: For the units using R32 or R290 refrigerant , only the blast-proof ceramic fuse can be used.
