SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

• Do not pull or deform the power sup-ply cord. Pulling and misuse of the power supply cord can result in dam-age to the unit and cause electrical shock.
• Be careful not to expose your body directly to the outlet air for a long time. It may affect your physical conditions.
• When using the air conditioner for infants, children, elderly, bedridden, or disabled people make sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the room.
• Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting objects can result in injury due to the high speed rotation of internal fans.
• Ground the air conditioner without fail. Do not connect the grounding wire to gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding wire. Incomplete grounding may cause electric shock.
• If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), stop the operation immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF.
• The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. Improper cable connection can cause the power supply cord, plug and the electrical outlet to overheat and cause fire.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazards. Use only the manufacturer-specified power cord for replacement.
• Do not splash or pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
• Do not attempt to install/remove/repair the unit by yourself. Incorrect work will cause electric shock, water leak, fire etc. Consult your dealer or other quali-fied service personnel for the installation/removal/repair of the unit.

CAUTION

• Open a window or door periodically to ventilate the room, especially when using gas appliances. Insufficient ventilation may cause oxygen shortage.

• Do not operate the buttons with wet hand. It may cause electric shock.

• For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not using the unit for an extended period of time.

• Check the outdoor unit mounting rack periodically for wear and to make sure it is firmly in place.

• Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor step on it. The object or the person may fall down or drop, causing injury.

• This unit is designed for residential use. Do not use for other applications such as in a kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.

• Do not place a vessel with water on the unit. If water penetrates into the unit, electrical insulations may deteriorate and cause electric shock.

• Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the unit. It may cause insufficient performance or troubles.

• Be sure to stop the operation and turn the circuit breaker off before performing any maintenance or cleaning. A fan is rotating inside the unit and you may get injured.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Make sure to connect the air conditioner to power supply of the rated voltage and frequency. Use of a power supply with improper voltage and frequency can result in equipment damage and possible fire.
