product damage.
 CAUTION
 Always check for gas (refrigerant)
leakage after installation or repair of
product.
Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of
product.
 Install the drain hose to ensure that
water is drained away properly.
A bad connection may cause water leakage.
 Keep level even when installing the
product.
It can avoid vibration of water leakage.
 Do not install the product where the

transport the product.
 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.
 Operational
 Do not expose the skin directly to
cool air for long time. (Do not sit in the
draft).
 Do not use the product for special
purposes, such as preserving foods, works
of art etc. It is a consumer air conditioner,
not a precision refrigerant system.
There is risk of damage or loss of property.
 Do not block the inlet or outlet of air
flow.
 Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not use
harsh detergents, solvents, etc.
There is risk of fire, electric shock, or damage
to the plastic parts of the product.
 Do not touch the metal parts of the
product when removing the air filter. They
are very sharp.
 Do not step on or put anything on the
product. (outdoor units)
 Always insert the filter securely.
Clean the filter every two weeks or more
often if necessary.
