4. Do not use an extension cord.
5. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.
6. If the cord/plug is damaged, replace it with only an authorized replacement part.
Usage
1. Being exposed to direct airflow for a long time may be hazardous to your health. Do not expose
occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for a long time.
2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when using the appliance together with
stoves or other heating devices.
3. Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purpose (e.g. preserving precision devices,
food, pets, plants, or art objects). Such use may damage your properties.

D Use a recognized circuit breaker 20A (18K),
25A (24K, 26K) between the power source
and the unit. A disconnecting device to
adequately disconnect all supply lines must
be fitted.
CAUTION
After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for
the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control
cover.
2) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come
loose from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of
transportation. Check them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they
are loose, it could cause burn-out of the wires.)
3) Specification of power source.
4) Confirm that electrical capability is sufficient.
5) See to that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated
voltage marked on the name plate.
6) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power source specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness. (Refer to page 11))
7) Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker in a wet or moist area.
8) The following would be caused by voltage drop.
Vibration of a magnetic switch, which will damage the contact point, fuse breaking, disturbance of the
normal function of the overload.
9) The means for disconnection from a power supply shall be incorporated in the fixed
wiring and have an air gap contact separation of at least 3mm in each active(phase)
