2- WARNINGS

Carefully read the following information in order to
properly handle the air conditioner. Several types
of safety warnings and advice are listed below:
These units should be installed and used in accor-
dance with the Regulations and Standards for refrige-
rator, electrical and mechanical equipment prevailing
in relation to the location of such installations.
As part of its policy for ongoing improvements of its
products, Saunier Duval reserves the right to modify
these specifications without prior notice.
Saunier Duval cannot foresee all the possible cir-
cumstances that could pose a potential risk.
These units have been designed and manufactured
for the purposes of acclimatisation by means of air
conditioning; the use thereof for other domestic or
industrial purposes shall be the exclusive responsi-
bility of the persons projecting, installing or using
them in that way.
Prior to the performing any work on the unit, its ins-
tallation, commissioning, use or maintenance, the
personnel in charge of these operations must be
familiar with all the instructions and recommenda-
tions contained in the unit's installation manual.
In the event that any irregularity is detected (e.g.
smell of smoke), unplug the unit from the power
supply immediately and contact the distributor in
order to proceed appropriately.
If the air conditioner continues to be used in these
irregular conditions, it could be damaged and cause
a short circuit or a fire.
Do not insert fingers or other objects in the air inlets
and outlets or in the slats whilst the air conditioner
is in operation since the high speed of the fan could
cause injury.
Call the technical specialist in order to take the
appropriate preventative measures in the event of a
refrigerant gas leak. Refrigerant leakages in certain
quantities can cause loss of oxygen.
If the air conditioner is alled in a small room, ensure
that the necessary measures are taken to prevent
any symptoms of lack of oxygen in the event of a
refrigerant leak.
In the event that the air conditioner is removed and
subsequently realled, its proper allation must be
adequately verified. Otherwise, water or refrigerant
leakage could occur, as well as short-circuiting or
even fire.
Do not dismantle the outdoor unit's air vent. Expo-
sing the fan is very dangerous.
It is convenient to regularly check the base of the
outdoor unit to detect possible wear and tear. If a
damaged base is not repaired, it could come away
and cause an accident.
Do not place any items on top of the outdoor unit.
Do not handle the unit with wet or damp hands as
this would cause a risk of electrocution.
Only use the right fuses for each model. Do not use
wire or any other material to substitute the fuse. This
could cause faults or fire.
Do not place any heat source with a flame in the air-
flow of the unit. Do not use sprays or other inflam-
mable gases close to the air conditioner since this
could cause a fire.
Air conditioner must not be alled close to a heat
source, flammable or corrosive materials or near an
air vent of a neighbouring building.
Disconnect the power source when cleaning the unit.
This will avoid the risk of short-circuiting or injury.
Do not use water to clean the unit.
Connect the earth wire to the right line (never to the
gas pipes, water pipes, neutral line or telephone
line). Direct earthing can cause electrical risk.
Connect the condensed water pipe correctly to
ensure efficient drainage. Incorrectly connecting the
pipe could cause a water leakage.
Install differentials in order to prevent short-
circuiting.
Do not connect the equipment whilst insecticides
or pesticides are in use. Toxic chemicals could be
deposited in the air conditioner and affect persons
with allergies to the chemical substances.
Avoid prolonged exposure to refrigerated air and
to an extreme temperature in a room. This can be a
health hazard.
