Installation Location
•We recommend that this air conditioner be installed properly by
qualified installation technicians in accordance with the Installation
Instructions provided with the unit.
•Before installation, check that the voltage of the electric supply in
your home or office is the same as the voltage shown on the
nameplate.
•Do not install this air conditioner where there are fumes or
flammable gases, or in an extremely humid space such as a
greenhouse.
•Do not install the air conditioner where excessively high heat-
generating objects are placed.
Avoid: To protect the air conditioner from heavy corrosion, avoid installing the
outdoor unit where salty sea water can splash directly onto it or in
sulphurous air near a spa.
Electrical Requirements
1. All wiring must conform to the local electrical codes. Consult your
dealer or a qualified electrician for details.
2. Each unit must be properly grounded with a ground (or earth) wire
or through the supply wiring.
3. Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.
CAUTION
Safety Instructions
•Read this Instruction Manual carefully before using this air
conditioner. If you still have any difficulties or problems, consult
your dealer for help.
•This air conditioner is designed to give you comfortable room
conditions. Use this only for its intended purpose as described in
this Instruction Manual.
•Never touch the unit with wet hands.
•Never use or store gasoline or other flammable vapor or liquid near
the air conditioner — it is very dangerous.
•This air conditioner has no ventilator for intaking fresh air from
outdoors. You must open doors or windows frequently when you
use gas or oil heating appliances in the same room, which
consume a lot of oxygen from the air. Otherwise there is a risk of
suffocation in an extreme case.
CAUTION •Do not turn the air conditioner on and off from the power mains
switch. Use the ON/OFF operation button.
•Do not stick anything into the air outlet of the outdoor unit. This is
dangerous because the fan is rotating at high speed.
•Do not let children play with the air conditioner.
•Do not cool the room too much if babies or invalids are present.
To warm up the system, the power mains
must be turned on at least five (5) hours
before operation. Leave the power mains
ON unless you will not be using this
appliance for an extended period.

Using the Remote Control Unit
How to Install Batteries
1. Slide the cover in the direction
indicated by the arrow and
remove it.

3. Use a thin object such as the
tip of a pen to press the ACL
button.
NOTE •The batteries last about six months, depending on how much you
use the remote control unit. Replace the batteries when the remote
control unit’s display fails to light, or when the remote control
cannot be used to change the air conditioner’s settings.
•Use two fresh leak-proof type-AAA alkaline batteries.
•In replacing batteries, follow the instructions as mentioned in the
sub-section ‘‘How to Install Batteries’’.
•If you do not use the remote control unit more than 1 month, take
