General safety instructions

Notices for the target group

These operating instructions are intended for the operator of the air conditioning system. All system-relevant instructions must be observed. Failure to comply with instructions may result in material damage and personal injury, including danger to life.

• Read and retain the operating instructions of all system components prior to use.
• Observe the safety instructions and warnings.

Intended use

The indoor unit is intended for installation inside the building with connection to an outdoor unit and further system components, e.g. controls.

The outdoor unit is intended for installation outside the building with connection to an indoor unit or units and further system components, e.g. controls.

The air conditioning system is intended for commercial/residential use only where temperature deviations from adjusted set points do not lead to damage of living beings or materials. The air conditioning system is not suitable to set and maintain desired absolute humidity levels precisely.

Any other use is considered inappropriate. Any damage that may result from misuse is excluded from liability.

For installation at special locations (underground garage, mechanical rooms, balcony or at any semi-open areas):

• First refer to the requirements for the installation site in the technical documentation.

General dangers posed by the refrigerant

• This appliance is filled with refrigerant. If the refrigerant gas gets into contact with fire, it may generate toxic gas.
• Have the system inspected and serviced regularly by an approved contractor.
• If there is a possibility that refrigerant has escaped, thoroughly ventilate the room and notify the approved contractor.

Conversion and repairs

If modifications to the air conditioning system are not carried out correctly, this can result in personal injury and/or material damage.

• Have work carried out only by an approved contractor.
• Do not make any changes to the outdoor unit, indoor unit or other parts of the air conditioning system.
• Disconnect the air conditioning system from the power supply before carrying out any maintenance work.

Notices on handling the system

If the air conditioning system is used incorrectly, this could impair your health.

• Do not stand directly in the airflow for any length of time.
• Ensure that the room temperature is suitable for all people in the room, including babies, children, elderly, bedridden or disabled people.
• Never insert objects into the unit, you could injure yourself.

If the unit is handled incorrectly, this can lead to reduced performance and also damage to the unit and personal injury.

• Do not block the air inlets and outlets of the unit.
• Shut doors and windows when the unit is in operation.
• Protect the indoor unit from water ingress.
• Check the outdoor unit mounting rack periodically for wear and to make sure it is firmly in place.
• Do not apply any weight to the outdoor unit, e.g. objects or persons.
• Keep dust, steam and moisture in the installation room of the indoor unit to a minimum.
• Do not use highly-flammable gases, e.g. from spray cans, in the vicinity of the units.
• If there appears to be something wrong with the air conditioner (burning smell or faulty cable for example), stop using it immediately and disconnect the power supply.
