Installation

Contact an authorized service centre when installing or relocating the air conditioner.Contact the dealer, seller, qualified electrician or authorized service centre for cleaning or maintenance the air conditioner.Do not install, remove, or re-install the unit by yourself (customer). Installation or repairs done by unauthorized persons can pose hazards to you and others.For electrical work, contact the dealer, seller, a qualified electrician or an authorized service centre.Do not attempt to do electrical work or grounding work unless you are licensed to do so. Consult with the dealer for electrical work and grounding work.Do not install the product on a defective installation stand.Be sure the installation area does not deteriorate with age.Be sure to only use accessories made by LG which are specifically designed for use with the equipment and have them installed by a professional.Never install the outdoor unit on a moving base or a place from where it can fall down.Do not install the unit in potentially explosive atmospheres.Do not install the air conditioner in a place where flammable liquids or gases such as gasoline, propane or paint thinner are stored.Install the panel and the cover of the control box safely.Install a dedicated electric outlet and earth leakage breaker before using the appliance.Use a standard circuit breaker and fuse that conform to the rating of the air conditioner.Do not use a multiple socket, extension power cable or adapter with this appliance.The indoor/outdoor wiring connections must be secured tightly, and the cable should be routed properly so that there is no force pulling the cable from the connection terminals. Improper or loose connections can generate heat or cause a fire.Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, a lightning rod, or a telephone ground wire.Use non-flammable gas (nitrogen) to check for leaks and to purge air; using compressed air or flammable gas may cause fire or explosion.

Operation

Do not modify or extend the power cable. Scratches or peeling insulation on the power cables may result in fire or electric shock, and the cables should be replaced.Make sure that the power cable is neither dirty, loose, nor broken.Do not place any objects on the power cable.Take care to ensure that the power cable could not be pulled out or damaged during operation.Never touch, operate, or repair the air conditioner with wet hands.Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while the air conditioner is operating.Make sure that nobody, especially children, climbs on or hits the outdoor unit.Be sure to use only those parts listed in the service parts list. Never attempt to modify the equipment.Do not touch the refrigerant pipe, water pipe or any internal parts while the unit is operating or immediately after operation.Do not leave flammable substances such as gasoline, benzene, or thinner near the air conditioner.Do not use the air conditioner for an extended period of time in a small place without proper ventilation.Be sure to ventilate sufficiently when the air conditioner and a heating appliance such as a heater are used simultaneously.There is the possibility of oxygen deficiency.Do not block the inlet or outlet airflow.Cut off the power supply if there is any noise, smell, or smoke coming from the air conditioner.Contact an authorized service centre if the air conditioner is submerged by flood waters.In the event of a gas leak (such as Freon, propane gas, or LP gas), ventilate sufficiently before using the air conditioner again.Stop operation and close the window during a storm or hurricane. If possible, remove the product from the window before the hurricane arrives.

Wireless Remote Control

Never mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries in the remote control.Do not recharge or disassemble the batteries.Dispose of the batteries in a place where there is no danger of fire.Stop using the remote control if there is a fluid leak in the battery. If your clothes or skin is exposed to the leaking battery fluid, wash off with clean water.If the leaking battery fluid has been swallowed, rinse the inside of the mouth thoroughly and consult a doctor.Never let the indoor unit or the remote control get wet.

Maintenance

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, disconnect the power supply and wait until the fan stops.The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation.There is a possibility of injury if the unit's power is accidentally triggered on while you are cleaning the inner parts of the unit.Appliance shall be disconnected from its power source during service and replacing parts.

Refrigerant

Follow the standards of the corresponding region or country for handling the refrigerant and the air conditioner and for disassembling the air conditioner.Use only the refrigerant specified on the air conditioner label.Do not input air or gas into the system except the specified refrigerant.Do not touch the leaking refrigerant during installation or repair.If the refrigerant gas leaks during the installation, ventilate the area immediately.Be sure to check for refrigerant leaks after installing or repairing the product.In the case of refrigerant leakage, consult the dealer. When the air conditioner is to be installed in a small room, it is necessary to take proper measures so that the amount of any leaked refrigerant does not exceed the limiting concentration even when it leaks. If the refrigerant leaks exceeding the level of limiting concentration, an oxygen deficiency accident may happen.
