READ BEFORE OPERATION
Safety Precautions
• Keep this manual where the operator can easily find them.
• Read the precautions in this manual carefully before operating the unit.
• The precautions described herein are classified as WARNING and CAUTION. They both contain
important information regarding safety. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail.
• After reading, keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it whenever necessary.
If the equipment is transferred to a new user, be sure also to hand over the manual.
WARNING
• In order to avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when harmful, among which
flammable or corrosive gases, are detected near the unit.
• Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool or warm air from the air conditioner, or to air
that is too cool or too warm can be harmful to your physical condition and health.
•
Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet. Product malfunctioning,
product or injury damage may result due to contact with the air conditioner’s high-speed fan blades.
• Do not attempt to repair, dismantle reinstall or modify the air conditioner yourself as this may result in
water leakage, electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Do not use flammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise fire may result.
•
Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage. If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating
cool or warm air, refrigerant leakage could be the cause. Consult your dealer for assistance. The refrigerant
within the air conditioner is safe and normally does not leak.
However, in the event of a leakage, contact with a naked burner, heater or cooker may result in generation of noxious
gas. Do not longer use the air conditioner until a qualified service person confirms that the leakage has been repaired.
•
Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric
shocks or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or qualified personnel for installation and maintenance work.
•
When the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour, etc.) turn off power to the unit and contact your
local dealer. Continued operation under such circumstances may result in a failure, electric shocks or fire hazards.
•
Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker. Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in electric shocks or fire.
• Be sure to earth the unit. Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor or
telephone earth lead. Imperfect earthing may result in electric shocks.
CAUTION
•
Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Do not use
the air conditioner for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as
this may adversely affect the performance, quality and/or longevity of the object concerned.
• Do not expose plants or animals directly to airflow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects.
• Do not place appliances that produce naked flames in places exposed to the airflow from the unit as
this may impair combustion of the burner.
