Children in the Household

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 the 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.

Installation

• Do not install the air conditioner on an unstable surface or in a place where there is a danger of it falling.
• Contact an authorized service center when installing or relocating the air conditioner.
• Install the panel and the cover of the control box safely.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where flammable liquids or gases such as gasoline, propane, paint thinner, etc., are stored.

• Use a standard circuit breaker and fuse that conform to the rating of the air conditioner.
• Do not input air or gas into the system except with the specific refrigerant.
• Use non-flammable gas (nitrogen) to check for leaks and to purge air; using compressed air or flammable gas may cause fire or explosion.
• The indoor/outdoor wiring connections must be secured tightly, and the cable should be routed properly so that there is no force pulling the cable from the connection terminals. Improper or loose connections can cause heat generation or fire.
• Install dedicated electric outlet and circuit breaker before using the air conditioner.
• Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, a lightning rod, or a telephone ground wire.

Operation
