Each unit must be properly grounded with a ground (or earth) wire or through the supply wiring. Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician. [. . . ] (Risk of smoke/ fire/electric shock) • • • • • • • • OI-070-3-EN 3 01_85464609070015_EN. fm Page 4 Tuesday, April 3, 2012 10:12 AM • • • • • • • • Do not turn the air conditioner on and off from the power mains switch. Do not stick anything into the air outlet of the outdoor unit. This is dangerous because the fan is rotating at high speed. Do not touch the air inlet or the sharp aluminum fins of the outdoor unit. Keep the fire alarm and the air outlet at least 1. 5m away from the unit. 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 use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that do not play with the appliance. Do not cool or heat the room too much if babies or invalids are present. Do not stick any object into the FAN CASE. You may be injured and the unit may be damaged. NOTICE • • The compressor may occasionally stop during thunderstorms. The unit automatically recovers after a few minutes. Press the FLAP button to start the flap moving up and down. If you want to stop the flap movement and to direct the air in the desired direction, press the FLAP button again. In the cool mode, do not direct the flap down and move out of the cooling zone “A”, otherwise, condensation may drip on to the floor. Zone ‘‘A’’ is the recommended flap position for cooling. When operating continuously in the fixed airflow direction setting for about an hour, the airflow direction is automatically controlled and the flap position is changed. The airflow direction may be different from the display on the remote controller. ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 15 °C or less. Heating Operation Heating performance • Because this appliance heats a room by utilizing the heat of the outside air (heat pump system), the heating efficiency will fall off when the outdoor temperature is very low. If sufficient heat cannot be obtained with this heat pump, use another heating appliance in conjunction with this unit. When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the outdoor heat exchanger coil, reducing the heating performance. When this happens, a microcomputer-controlled defrosting system operates. At the same time, the fan on the indoor unit stops (or runs at very low speed in some cases) and the ‘‘STANDBY’’ indicator appears on the display until defrosting is completed.
