Daikin FTK09AXVJU ROOM AIR CONDITIONER USER MANUAL

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet. Product malfunctioning, product, or injury damage may result due to contact with the air conditioner’s high-speed fan blades.
• Do not attempt to repair, dismantle, reinstall, or modify the air conditioner yourself as this may result in water leakage, electric shocks, or fire hazards.
• Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage, electric shocks, or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or qualified personnel for installation and maintenance work.
• Do not use the flammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise, fire may result.
• Do not place flammable items, such as spray cans, within 3 ft of the air outlet. Spray cans may explode as a result of hot air from the indoor or outdoor units.
• If the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odor, etc.) turn off the power of the unit and contact your local dealer. Continued operation under such circumstances may result in failure, electric shocks, or fire hazards.
• Do not use a refrigerant other than the one indicated on the outdoor unit (R410A) when installing, moving, or repairing. Using other refrigerant may cause trouble or damage to the unit, and personal injury.

CAUTION

• Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool or warm air from the air conditioner, or to air that is too cool or too warm can be harmful to your physical condition and health.
• Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
• Do not use the air conditioner for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals, or works of art as this may adversely affect the performance, quality, and/or longevity of the object concerned.
• Do not expose plants or animals directly to airflow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects.
• Do not place appliances that produce naked flames in places exposed to the air flow from the unit as this may impair combustion of the burner.
• Do not block air inlets or outlets. Impaired airflow may result in insufficient performance or trouble.
• Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage. If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool or warm air, refrigerant leakage could be the cause. Consult your dealer for assistance. The refrigerant within the air conditioner is safe and normally does not leak. However, in the event of a leakage, contact with a naked burner, heater, or cooker may result in the generation of noxious gas. Do not use the air conditioner until a qualified service person confirms that the leakage has
  been repaired.
• Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture directly beneath the indoor or outdoor units. Under certain conditions, condensation on the main unit or refrigerant
  pipes, air filter dirt, or drain blockage may cause dripping, resulting in fouling or failure of the object concerned.
• After prolonged use, check the unit stand and its mounts for damage. If left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and cause injury. To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminum fins of the indoor or outdoor units.
  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 the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Installation site.

To install the air conditioner in the following types of environments, consult the dealer.

• Places with an oily ambient or where steam or soot occurs.
• Salty environments such as coastal areas.
• Places where sulfide gas occurs such as hot springs.
• Places where snow may block the outdoor unit.
• The indoor unit is at least 3.5 ft away from any television or radio set (the unit may cause interference with the picture or sound).
• The drain from the outdoor unit must be discharged to a place of good drainage.

Consider nuisance to your neighbours from noises

Also, pay attention to operating noise.

• Select the following kinds of locations:
  A. A place that can sufficiently withstand the weight of the air conditioner with fewer running noises and vibrations.
  B. A place where warm airflow from the air outlet of the outdoor unit and operating noise do not cause a nuisance to neighbors.
• Be sure there are no obstructions near the air outlet of the outdoor unit.
• Obstructions may result in poor performance and increased operating noise. If abnormal noise occurs, ask your dealer for advice.
