injury or death.
r For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen.
A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, especially
in basements, and an asphyxiation hazard could occur
leading to serious injury or death.
r If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same room
as the air conditioner or heat pump, there is the danger

CAUTION
r Do not use the air conditioner or heat pump for any other
purposes other than comfort cooling or heating.
Do not use the unit for cooling precision instruments,
food, plants, animals or works of art.
r Do not place items under the indoor unit as they may be
damaged by condensates that may form if the humidity is
above 80% or if the drain outlet gets blocked.
r Before cleaning, stop the operation of the unit by turning
the power off or by pulling the supply cord out from its

r Avoid placing the controller in a spot splashed with water.
Water entering the controller may cause an electric shock
or damage the internal electronic parts.
r Do not operate the air conditioner or heat pump when
using a room-fumigation type of insecticide.
Failure to observe this could cause the chemicals to be
deposited in the unit and can endanger the health of
those who are hypersensitive to chemicals.
r Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping
operation. Always wait for at least 5 minutes before

deformation of the unit due to the heat.
r Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight. The LCD
display can become discolored and may fail to display the
data.
r Do not wipe the controller operation panel with benzene,
thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may get
discolored or the coating can peel off. If it is heavily dirty,
soak a cloth in a water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze
it well and wipe the panel clean. Then wipe it with another
dry cloth.
r Dismantling of the unit, disposal of the refrigerant, oil, and
additional parts, should be done in accordance with the
