OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Special functions

Vertical swing function

After the appliance starts up, users can control the vertical louver swing by the remote control.

Refrigerant Leakage Detection

The digital display will appear EC when the outdoor unit detects refrigerant leakage.

SELF CLEAN (Anti-mildew function)

When turning off the unit on COOL, DRY mode, the air conditioner will continue operating for

about 7-10 minutes at LOW fan speed. If turning off the unit on HEAT mode, it will continue

operating for about 30 seconds at LOW fan speed. This will help to dry up the condensed

water inside the evaporator, and prevent the breeding of mildew.

Under Anti-mildew operation, do not restart the air conditioner until the unit is completely off.

NOTE: This manual does not include Remote Control Operations, see the

<<Remote Control User Manual>> packed with the unit for details.

Follow Me function (Second temperature sensor)

Air conditioner is usually provided one sensor for temperature automation. This product is

specially provided extra sensor on the remote control for appropriate temperature usage for

the users.

Air flow direction control

Adjust the air flow direction properly. Otherwise it

might cause discomfort or cause uneven room

temperatures.

Adjust the horizontal/vertical louver using the remote

control.

To set the horizontal/vertical air flow direction

Perform this function while the unit is in operation.

Use the remote control to adjust the air flow direction.

The vertical/horizontal louver changes approximately 6

degree in angle for each press, the louver can also be set

to swing up, down, left and right automatically.

Please refer to the Remote Control User Manual

for details.

IMPORTANT: Do not put your fingers into the panel of

blower and suction side. The high-speed fan inside may

cause danger.

Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods with

the air flow direction set downward in COOL or DRY

mode. Otherwise, condensation may occur on the

surface of the horizontal louver causing moisture to

drop on to the floor or on furnishings.

When the air conditioner is switched on immediately

after it was stopped, the horizontal louver might not

move for approximately 10 seconds.

Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set

too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may

be impaired due to too restricted air flow area.

Do not move the horizontal louver manually. Otherwise

the horizontal louver will be out of sync. Please cease

operating, unplug the power for a few seconds, and

restart the air conditioner.

Do not operate the unit with the horizontal louver in

closed position.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION

Turn the unit off before cleaning. To clean and wipe

with a soft and dry cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

NOTE: Supply power must be disconnected before

cleaning the indoor unit.

Filter Handle

Cleaning the air filter

A clogged air filter reduces the cooling / heating efficiency of

this unit. Clean the filter every 2 weeks is recommended.

1. Lift the indoor unit panel up to an angle until a click sound

is heard.

2. Hold the handle of the air filter and lift it up slightly

to take it out from the filter holder, then pull it

downwards.

3. Remove the air filter from the indoor unit.

NOTE

Checks before operation

When the unit is not in use for a prolonged period,

please perform the following.

(1) Operate the fan for about half a day to dry inside

of the unit.

(2) Stop the air conditioner and disconnect the power.

Remove the batteries from the remote control.

(3) The outdoor unit requires periodic maintenance

and cleaning. Do not attempt to do this yourself.

Contact your dealer or service provider.

Check if the wiring is broken off or disconnected.

Check if the air filter is installed.

Check if the air outlet or inlet is blocked after the

air conditioner has not been used for a prolonged

period.

Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when

removing the air filter. Injuries can occur when

handling sharp metal edges.

Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner.

Exposure to water can destroy the insulation and

lead to possible electric shock.

When cleaning the unit, please ensure the

power and the circuit breaker are turned off.

Caution

The following events may occur during normal operation.

1. Compressor protection

The compressor cannot restart for 3-4 minutes after it stops.

2. Defrosting

Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when the outdoor temperature is

low and the humidity is high resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

During this condition air conditioner will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically.

The time to defrost may vary from approximately 4 to 10 minutes according to the outdoor

temperature and the amount of frost built up on the outdoor unit.

3. White mist coming out from the indoor unit

White mist may come out due to a large temperature difference between the air inlet and air

outlet on COOL mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.

White mist may come out due to moisture generated from defrosting process when the air

conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting.

4. Low noise of the air conditioner

You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running.

It is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to stop.

You can also hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped

running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit

when the temperature is changing.

A noise may happen due to louver restoring to its original position when the power is turned on.

5. Dust is blown out from the indoor unit.

This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a prolonged period or

during first use of the unit.

6. A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit.

This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, furniture,

or smoke.

7. The air conditioner turns to FAN mode from COOL or HEAT mode.

When indoor temperature reaches the temperature setting on the air conditioner, the compressor will

stop automatically, and the air conditioner will turn to FAN mode. The compressor will start again

when the indoor temperature rises on COOL mode or falls on HEAT mode to the set point.

9. Water leakage

Water leakage may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling in a high

relatively humidity (relative humidity higher than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to

the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH fan speed.

10. Heat mode

The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit

during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air

conditioner will decrease accordingly. At the same time, heat loading of the air conditioner

will increase due to larger difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. If a

comfortable temperature can't be achieved by the air conditioner, we suggest you use a

supplementary heating device.

11. Auto-restart function

Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely.

When the power restores, the unit will restart automatically with all the previous settings preserved

by the memory function.

8. The air conditioner runs function after turning off the unit.

When turning off the unit under COOL and DRY mode, the air conditioner will run

function for 7-10 minutes.

then the operation will be stopped and the unit will turn off automatically.

Anti-mildew

If turning off the unit when HEAT mode, the unit will continue operating for about 30 seconds

at LOW fan speed,
