Precautions This appliance conforms to safety requirements.

Inappropriate use can lead to injury or damage to property.

Please read this user manual carefully. It contains information

on safety, installation, use and maintenance.

Warning Electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete

between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations.

It is important that this basic requirement is present and regularly tested. When there is any doubt,

the onsite wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. IFB cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (eg electric shock etc).

ma ch ine . B ef ore co nn ect in g t he

machine, ensure that the connection data

on the data plate (fusing, voltage and

frequency) match the main electricity

Supply. If any doubt, consult IFB Care.

• Make sure that the base of the outdoor

unit is firmly fixed.

• Check that air does not enter the

refrigerant system and check for

refrigerant leaks when moving the air

conditioner.

• Carry out a test cycle after installing the

air conditioner and record the operating

data.

• The ratings of the fuse installed in the

built in-control unit are T 5A/250 V.

• The user must protect the indoor unit with

a fuse of suitable capacity for the

without the possibility of ventilation,

precautions must be taken to prevent any

leakage of refrigerant gas from air

conditioner in the environment and

creating a danger of fire.

• The packaging materials are recyclable

and should be disposed off in separate

waste bins. Take the air conditioner at the

end of its useful life to a special waste

collection centre for disposal.

• Only use the air conditioner as instructed

in this user manual. These instructions

are not intended to cover every possible

condition and situation. As with any

electrical household appliance, common

?Do not use extensions or gang

modules.

?Do not touch the appliance when

barefoot or when parts of your body are

wet or damp.

?Do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet of

the indoor or the outdoor unit. The

obstruction of these openings causes a

reduction in the operative efficiency of

the air conditioner with possible

consequent failures or damages.

?In no way alter the characteristics of the

air conditioner.

?Do not install the air conditioner near

sources of heat or in an environment

where the air contains gas, oil or

Sulphur.

?Do not operate the air conditioner

where inflammable substances such as

oil, benzene or highly inflammable gas

are present. Such materials may cause

fire or explosions.

?This air conditioner can be used by

children aged 8 years and above and

persons with reduced physical, sensory

experience and knowledge if they have

been given supervision or instructions

concerning the use of the appliance in a

safe way and understand the hazards

involved.

?Do not leave windows or doors open for

long when the air conditioner is

operating.

?Do not direct the airflow onto plants or

animals. Prolonged direct exposure to

cold air can have negative effects on

them.

?Do not bring the air conditioner in

contact with water. The electrical

insulation may be damaged, thus

causing electrocution.

?Do not climb onto or place any objects

on the indoor or outdoor units.

?Never insert any object inside the air

conditioner. It can cause injury.

?Children should not play with the air

conditioner. Cleaning and user

maintenance should not be performed

?The electrical safety of this appliance

can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between it and

an effective earthing system, which

complies with local and national

regulations. It is most important that a

qualified electrician regularly tests this

basic safety requirement. The

manufact urer cannot be held

responsible for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system.
