SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION!
Turn off power source when not using the
unit for extended periods.
Take precautions to prevent infants from
accidentally swallowing batteries.
Do not drink the water drained from the air
conditioner.
Take out the batteries from the remote con-
trol unit when not using for a long time.
● Take out the batteries to prevent troubles caused by
battery liquid leakage.
● If leaking battery fluid comes in contact with your skin,
eyes, or mouth, immediately wash with copious
amounts of water, and consult your physician.
Always operate with the air filter installed.
● Operating the unit without the air filter could cause ex-
cessive dirt to collect on internal parts, leading to mal-
function.
Install the indoor unit and remote control
unit at least one meter from any television
sets or radio.
● Signal radiation could be induced into the system to
give erroneous operation.
When installing the indoor unit and outdoor
unit, take precautions to prevent access by
infants.
● Unexpected accidents could occur.
Do not use inflammable gases near the air
conditioner.
Always turn off the electrical breaker when-
ever cleaning the air conditioner or chang-
ing the air filter.
● A fan operates at high speed inside the unit, and per-
sonal injury could result.
Check the condition of the installation for
damage.
● After lengthy use, arrange for visit by authorized serv-
ice personnel to check installation condition.
Do not use in applications involving the
storage of foods, plants or animals, preci-
sion equipment, or art works.
● The quality of the stored items may deteriorate.
Do not touch the heat exchanger radiator
fins.
● Personal injury could result.
● Be particularly careful when cleaning.
● Bending or damage to the fins will affect the efficiency
of the unit.
Do not block or cover the intake grille and
outlet port.
● Obstructing the ports will reduce operating efficiency,
leading to improper operation and possible damage.
Avoid installing the air conditioner near a
fireplace or other heating apparatus.

of the outer case.
Be sure to attach the intake grille securely.
