• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where there is flammable gas or liquid.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer its service agent, or a similar qualified person.
• The specifications of the fuse are printed on the circuit board, 115V/Hz.
• Do not touch the louvers.
• Do not attempt to repair the air conditioner by yourself.
• In a lightning storm, please cut off the primary power supply switch to prevent the machine from damage.
• Do not use a liquid or corrosive detergent to clean the appliance and do not splash water or other liquids onto it, otherwise, it may damage the plastic components, even causing electric shocks.
• Do not operate the unit in a wet room such as the bathroom or laundry room.
• Do not touch the unit with wet hands or when barefoot.
• If your air conditioner is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, an all-pole switch must be installed in the fixed wiring, and the distance between contact should be no less than 3.0 mm (do not use an extension cord.)

2. Do not use an extension cord.
3. Do not use an adapter.
4. Do not remove the ground prong.

CAUTION

• Do not block the air inlet or air outlet, otherwise the cooling capacity will be weakened, which could cause the system to stop operating.

• If the air filter is very dirty, the cooling capacity will be weakened. Please be sure to clean the air filter regularly.

Notice for R410A Models
Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP) would contribute less to global warming than a refrigerant with higher GWP if leaked to the atmosphere. This appliance contains a refrigerant fluid with a GWP equal to [2088]. This means that if 1 kg of this refrigerant fluid were leaked into the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be [2088] times higher than 1 kg of CO˜, over 100 years. Never try to interfere with the refrigerant circuit or disassemble the product by yourself, always ask a professional.

WARNING

1. When you need to dispose of the unit, consult with your local dealer or local recycling center for information on how to dispose of the unit in an environmentally responsible manner.
2. Please recycle or dispose of the packing material for the product in an environmentally responsible manner.
