English 2● Be sure to establish a ground.Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or telephoneground. Incomplete grounding may cause electrical shock, orfire. A high surge current from lightning or other sources maycause damage to the air conditioner.● Although this is a recognized measure for additional protection,with the grounding system in North America, a dedicated GFCImay not be necessary.CAUTION● Do not use the air conditioner or heat pump for any otherpurposes other than comfort cooling or heating. Do not use theunit for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals orworks of art.● Do not place items under the indoor unit it could result in damageby condensates that may form if the humidity is above 80% or ifthe drain outlet gets blocked.● Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by turning thepower off or by pulling the supply cord out from its receptacle.Otherwise, an electric shock and injury could result.● Do not wash the air conditioner or heat pump with excessivewater. An electric shock or fire could result.● Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with water. Waterentering the controller could result in an electric shock ordamage the internal electronic parts.● Do not operate the air conditioner or heat pump when using aroom fumigation type of insecticide. Failure to observe thiscould result in the chemicals to be deposited in the unit and canendanger the health of those who are hypersensitive tochemicals.● Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping operation.Always wait for at least five minutes before turning off thepower. Otherwise, water leakage could result.● The appliance is not intended for use by young children orinfirm persons without supervision.● The remote controller should be kept away from children so theycannot play with it.● Consult with the installation contractor for cleaning.● Incorrect cleaning of the inside of the air conditioner or heatpump could result in the plastics parts break resulting in waterleakage or electric shock.● Do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fin of the air conditioneror heat pump as they can cut and could result in injury.● Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor unit. Donot let leaves and other debris accumulate around the unit.Leaves are a hotbed for small animals which can enter the unit.Once inside the unit, animals result in the unit malfunctioning,and could result in smoke or fire when they make contact withelectrical parts.NOTE● Never press the button of the remote controller with a hard,pointed object. The remote controller result in damage.● Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote controller. Itmay result in the unit malfunctioning.● Do not place appliances that produce open flames in places thatare exposed to the air flow of the unit or under the indoor unit. Itmay result in incomplete combustion or deformation of the unitdue to the heat.● Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight. The LCD displaycan become discolored and may result in fail to display the data.● Do not wipe the controller operation panel with benzene, thinner,chemical dust cloth, etc. The result may be that the panelbecomes discolored or the coating can peel off. If it is heavilydirty, soak a cloth in water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze itwell and wipe the panel clean. Then wipe it with another drycloth.● Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrigerant, oil, andadditional parts, should be done in accordance with the relevantlocal, state, and national regulations.● Operate the air conditioner or heat pump in a sufficientlyventilated area and not surrounded by obstacles. Do not use theair conditioner or heat pump in the following places.a. Places with a mist of mineral oil, such as cutting oil.b. Locations such as coastal areas where there is a lot of salt inthe air.c. Locations such as hot springs where there is a lot of sulfur inthe air.d. Locations such as factories where the power voltage varies alot.e. In cars, boats, and other vehicles.f. Locations such as kitchens where oil may splatter or wherethere is steam in the air.g. Locations where equipment produces electromagnetic waves.h. Places with an acid or alkaline mist.i. Places where fallen leaves can accumulate or where weedscan grow.● Take snow protection measures. Contact your dealer for thedetails of snow protection measures, such as the use of a snowprotection hood.● Do not attempt to do electrical work or grounding work unlessyou are licensed to do so. Consult with your dealer for electricalwork and grounding work.● Pay Attention to Operating Sound. Be sure to use the followingplaces:a. Places that can sufficiently withstand the weight of the airconditioner or heat pump yet can suppress the operatingsound and vibration.b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the outdoor unitor the operating sound of the outdoor unit does not annoyneighbors.● Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the outdoor unit.Obstacles close to the outdoor unit may drop the performanceof the outdoor unit or increase the operating sound of theoutdoor unit.● Consult your dealer if the air conditioner or heat pump inoperation generates unusual noise.● Make sure that the drainpipe is installed properly to drain water.If no water is discharged from the drainpipe while the airconditioner or heat pump is in the cooling mode, the result maybe that the drainpipe becomes clogged with dust or dirt andwater leakage from the indoor unit may occur. Stop operatingthe air conditioner or heat pump and contact your dealer.[Place of Installation]● Make sure that the air conditioner is located in a sufficientlyventilated place not surrounded by obstacles.● Do not use the air conditioner in the following places.a. Places with a mist of mineral oil, such as cutting oil.b. Locations such as coastal areas where there is a lot of salt in theair.c. Locations such as hot springs resorts where there is a lot of sulfurin the air.d. Locations such as factories where the power voltage varies a lot.e. In cars, boats, and other vehicles.f. Locations such as kitchens where oil may splatter or there issteam in the air.g. Locations where equipment that produces electromagnetic wavesis found.h. Places with an acid or alkaline mist.i. Places where fallen leaves are accumulated or weeds grow closetogether.● Take snow protection measures.Contact your local dealer for the details of snow protection measures,such as the use of a snow protection hood.[Electrical Work]● Do not attempt to conduct electrical work or grounding workunless you are licensed to do so.Consult with your local dealer for electrical work and grounding work.● Use a dedicated circuit for the air conditioner.[Pay Attention to Operating Sound]● Be sure to use the following places.a. Places that can sufficiently withstand the weight of the airconditioner and suppress the operating sound and vibration of theair conditioner.b. Places where warm air from the air outlet of the outdoor unit or theoperating sound of the outdoor unit does not annoy neighbors.● Make sure that there are no obstacles close to the outdoor unit.Obstacles close to the outdoor unit may drop the performance of theoutdoor unit or an increase in the operating sound of the outdoor unit.● Consult your local dealer if the air conditioner in operationgenerates unusual noise.[Drainage through Drainpipe]● Make sure that the drainpipe is installed properly to drain water.If no water is discharged from the drainpipe while the air conditioneris cooling operation, the drainpipe may be clogged with dust or dirtand water leakage from the indoor units may result.Stop operating the air conditioner and consult your local dealer.
