SAFETY INFORMATION
4
• The air conditioner contains about 320g (eiQ-9WMINV) or 400g (eiQ-12WMINV) of R290 refrigerant
gas.
• R290 is classed as flammable and as such naked flames and sources of ignition should be kept a safe
distance from the unit.
• Do not install or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 18m2 (eiQ-9WMINV) or
28m2 (eiQ-12WMINV) per unit. Smaller room sizes may be suitable if other safety measures are
implemented and a risk assessment conducted
• The above figures are based on the refrigerant charge with the supplied 3 metre pipe kit, and should
be adjusted according to pipe length.
• The room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could be a
danger of fire or explosion hazard should the refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters,
stoves or other sources of ignition. If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room,
the room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could be a
danger of fire or explosion should the refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, stoves or
other sources of ignition.
• Refrigerant gas may be odourless.
• Do not use the product and contact the retailer for advice, if damage has occurred to the unit which
may have compromised the refrigerant system.
• High-frequency waves generated by radio equipment, welders and medical equipment will interfere
with the normal operation of the unit.
• Install this device only when it complies with local/national legislation, ordinances and standards.
• Please read the installation manual completely before installing the product.
• The air conditioner must be inspected and serviced on an annual basis by an authorised air conditioning
engineer.
Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips
• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm.
• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every three
weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe
necessary, depending on the air quality.
• For the initial start-up set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 5 degrees lower than the
current temperature. After, set the fan switch to low and set the thermostat to your desired setting.
• To protect the unit, we recommend not using the cooling function when the ambient temperature is
higher than 35oC.
