Note:
Illustrations in this manual are for explanatory purposes. The actual shape of your
indoor unit may be slightly different. The actual shape shall prevail.
tSetting angle of air flow
Setting vertical angle of air flow
While the unit is on, use the SWING/DIRECT button to set the direction (vertical angle) of airflow.
1. Press the SWING/DIRECT 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 the SWING/DIRECT button
for 3 seconds. Press it again to stop the automatic function.
Setting horizontal angle of air flow
The horizontal angle of the airflow must be set manually. Grip the deflector rod (See Fig.B) and
manually adjust it to your preferred direction.
For some units, the horizontal angle of the airflow can be set by remote control. please refer to the
Remote Control Manual.
C
Note on louver angles:
When using COOL or DRY mode, do not set 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 floor or furnishings. (See Fig.A)
When using COOL or HEAT mode, setting the louver at too vertical an angle can reduce
the performance of the unit due to restricted air flow.
Do not move louver by hand. This will cause the louver to become out of sync. If this
occurs, turn off the unit and unplug it for a few seconds, then restart the unit. This will
reset the louver.

Safety precautions
If ANY of the following conditions occurs, turn off your unit immediately!
tThe power cord is damaged or abnormally warm
tYou smell a burning odor

5.1 Common issues
The following problems are not a malfunction and in most situations will not require repairs.
Issue Possible causes
Unit does not turn on
when pressing ON/
OFF button
The Unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from
overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being
turned off.
The unit changes
from COOL/HEAT
mode to FAN mode
The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the
unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the
previously selected mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off
the compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature
fluctuates again.
The indoor unit emits
white mist In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room’s
air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
Both the indoor and
outdoor units emit
white mist
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may
be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
The indoor unit
makes noises
A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due
to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
