INSTALLATION LOCATION
• We recommend that this air conditioner be installed properly by qualified installation 
technicians in accordance with the Installation Instructions provided with the unit.
 Before installation, check that the voltage of the electric supply in your home or office is the same 
as the voltage shown on the nameplate.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1.All wiring must conform to the local electrical codes. Consult your dealer or a qualified electrician 
for details.
2.Each unit must be properly grounded with a ground (or earth) wire or through the supply wiring.
3.Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Read these Operating Instructions carefully before using this air conditioner. If you still 
have any difficulties or problems, consult your dealer for help.
• This air conditioner is designed to give you comfortable room conditions. Use this only for 
its intended purpose as described in these Operating Instructions. • Do not install this air conditioner where there are fumes or flammable gases, or in an 
extremely humid space such as a greenhouse.
• Do not install the air conditioner where excessively high heat-generating objects 
are placed.
Avoid:To protect the air conditioner from heavy corrosion, avoid installing the outdoor unit where 
salty sea water can splash directly onto it or in sulphurous air near a spa.
To warm up the system, the power mains must be turned on 
at least five (5) hours before operation. Leave the power 
mains ON unless you will not be using this appliance for an 
extended period.
Pull off the power plug from a receptacle, or switch off the breaker, or switch off the power 
disconnecting mean to isolate the air conditioner from the main power supply when not in use 
for a long time.
• Confirm to authorized dealer or specialist on usage of specified refrigerant type. 
Using of refrigerant other than the specified type may cause product damage, burst 
and injury etc.
• Never touch the unit with wet hands.
• Never use or store gasoline or other flammable vapor or liquid near the air 
conditioner — it is very dangerous.
• Do not use this appliance in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
• This air conditioner has no ventilator for intaking fresh air from outdoors. You must 
open doors or windows frequently when you use gas or oil heating appliances in 
the same room, which consume a lot of oxygen from the air. Otherwise there is a 
risk of suffocation in an extreme case.
• To prevent possible hazards from insulation failure, the unit must be 
grounded.
• Do not clean inside the indoor and outdoor units by users. Engage 
authorized dealer or specialist for cleaning.
• In case of malfunction of this appliance, do not repair by yourself. Contact to the 
sales dealer or service dealer for a repair.
