• Ask an authorized dealer to install this air conditioner. Inappropriate

installation may cause water leakage, electric shock or re.

• All repairs, maintenance and relocation of this unit must be

performed by an authorized service technician. Inappropriate repairs

can lead to serious injury or product failure.

WARNINGS FOR PRODUCT USE

• If an abnormal situation arises (like a burning smell), immediately

turn o the unit and pull the power plug. Call your appliance seller

for instructions to avoid electric shock, re or injury.

• DO NOT insert ngers, rods or other objects into the air conditioner’s

ventilation inlet or outlet. This may cause injury, since the fan may

be rotating at high speeds.

• DO NOT use ammable sprays such as hair spray, lacquer or paint

near the unit. This may cause re or combustion.

• DO NOT operate the air conditioner in places near or around

• Refrigerant Leakage Detection

The indoor unit will automatically display “EC” when the unit detects

refrigerant leakage.

• Wireless Control

Wireless control allows you to control your air conditioner using your

mobile phone and a Wireless connection.

For USB device access, replacement and maintenance operations

must be carried out by qualied technician.

• Louver Angle Memory

When turning on your unit, the louver will automatically resume its

former angle.

NOTE ON ILLUSTRATIONS

Figures in this manual are for illustration purposes only. The actual

shape of your indoor unit may be slightly dierent, but its actual

shape shall prevail.

• Setting an Angle for Air Flow

Setting a vertical angle for air ow

While the unit is on, use the SWING button to set the direction

(vertical angle) of airow.

1. Press the SWING button once to activate the louver. Each time you

press the button, it will adjust the louver by 6°. Press the button until

the direction you prefer is reached.

2. To make the louver swing up and down continuously, press and hold

Setting a horizontal angle for air ow

The horizontal angle of the airow must be set manually. Grip the

deector rod (see Fig. B) and manually adjust it to your preferred

direction.

The horizontal angle of the airow can be set by remote control.

NOTE ON LOUVER ANGLES

When using COOL or DRY modes, do not set the louver at too vertical

an angle for long periods of time. This can cause water to condense on

the louver blade, which will drop on your oor or furnishings (see Fig. A).

When using COOL or HEAT modes, setting the louver at too vertical

an angle can reduce the unit’s performance due to restricted air ow.

Do not move the louver by hand. This will cause the louver to become

out of sync. Should this occur, turn o the unit and unplug it for a few

seconds, then restart it. This will reset the louver.

Fig. A

Caution: do not keep louver at too vertical an angle for long

periods of time. This can cause water condensation to drip on your

furnishings.

CAUTION

Do not put your ngers in or near the unit’s blower and suction side.

The high-speed fan inside the unit may cause injury.

Energy Saving Tips

• DO NOT set the unit to excessive temperature levels.

• While cooling, close the curtains to avoid direct sunlight.

• Doors and windows should be kept closed to keep cool or warm air

in the room.

• DO NOT place objects near the unit’s air inlet and outlet, as this will

reduce the unit’s eiciency.

• Set a timer and use the built-in SLEEP mode.

• If you don’t plan to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries

from the remote control.

• Clean the air lter every two weeks. A dirty lter can reduce

the unit’s cooling or heating eiciency.

• Adjust louvers properly and avoid direct airow.
