1.2 Safety
Please read before proceeding
Read this manual carefully before installing or operating your new air
conditioning unit. Make sure to save this manual for future reference.
WARNING: INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only.
Inappropriate installation may cause water leakage, electric
shock, or fire.
All repairs, maintenance and relocation of this unit must be
performed by a qualified service technician. Inappropriate
repairs can lead to serious injury or product failure.
WARNING: FOR PRODUCT USE
If an abnormal situation arises (like a burning smell),
immediately turn off the unit and pull the power plug. Call
your dealer for instructions to avoid electric shock, fire or
injury.
Do not insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet or
outlet. This may cause injury, since the fan may be rotating at
high speeds.
Do not use flammable sprays such as hair spray, lacquer or
paint near the unit. This may cause fire or combustion.
Do not operate the air conditioner in places near or around
combustible gases. Emitted gas may collect around the unit
and cause fire or an explosion.
Do not operate the air conditioner in a wet room (e.g.,
bathroom or laundry room). This can cause electrical shock
and cause the product to deteriorate.
Do not expose your body directly to cool air for a prolonged
period of time.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL
Only use the specified power cord. If the power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by an equivalent power cord
type
Keep power plug clean. Remove any dust or grime that
accumulates on or around the plug. Dirty plugs can cause fire
or electric shock.
Do not pull power cord to unplug the unit. Hold the plug firmly
and pull it from the outlet. Pulling directly on the cord can
damage it, which can lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not use an extension cord, manually extend the power
cord, or connect other appliances to the same outlet as the air
conditioner. Poor electrical connections, poor insulation, and
insufficient voltage can cause fire or electric shock.
WARNING: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Turn off the device and pull the plug before cleaning. Failure
to do so can cause electrical shock.
Do not clean the air conditioner with excessive amounts of
water.
Do not clean the air conditioner with combustible cleaning
agents. Combustible cleaning agents can cause fire or
deformation to the equipment.
CAUTION:
If the air conditioner is used together with burners or other
heating devices, thoroughly ventilate the room to avoid
oxygen deficiency.
Turn off the air conditioner and unplug the unit if you are not
going to use it for a long time.
Turn off and unplug the unit during storms.
Make sure that water condensation can drain unhindered
from the unit.
Do not operate the air conditioner with wet hands. This may
cause electric shock.
Do not use device for any other purpose than its intended
use.
Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit.
Do not allow the air conditioner to operate for long periods of
time with doors or windows open, or if the humidity is very
high.
Illustrations in this manual are for explanatory purposes. The actual shape
of your indoor unit may be slightly different. The actual shape shall prevail.

2.2 Achieving optimal performance
Optimal performance for the COOL, HEAT, and DRY modes can be achieved in the
following temperature ranges. When your air conditioner is used outside of these
ranges, certain safety protection features will activate and cause the unit to perform
less than optimally.
Optimal performance temperature ranges
COOL mode HEAT mode DRY mode
Room Temperature 17°C - 32°C
(63°F - 90°F)
0°C - 30°C
(32°F - 86°F)

(32°F - 122°F)
Table 1
When the outside temperature is below 0°C (32°F ), we strongly
recommend keeping the unit plugged in at all times to ensure smooth
ongoing performance. An auxiliary electric heater is used in the outdoor
unit to prevent ice build-up. Ice may build up if the unit is unplugged.
To further optimize the performance of your unit, do the following:
Keep doors and windows closed.
Limit energy usage by using TIMER ON and TIMER OFF functions.
Do not block air inlets or outlets.
Regularly inspect and clean air filters.
2.3 Other features
Auto-Restart
If the unit loses power, it will automatically restart with the prior settings once
power has been restored.
Anti-mildew
When turning off the unit from COOL, AUTO (COOL), or DRY modes, the air
conditioner will continue operate at very low power to dry up condensed water
and prevent mildew growth.
Louver Angle Memory
When turning on your unit, the louver will automatically resume its former
angle.
Refrigerant Leakage Detection
The indoor unit will automatically display “EC” when it detects refrigerant
leakage or another internal error which requires professional service..
For a detailed explanation of your unit’s advanced functionality (such as
TURBO mode and its self-cleaning functions), refer to the Remote Control
Manual.

2.4 Setting 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.

NOTICE:
Do not keep louver at too vertical an angle for long periods of
time. This can cause water condensation to drip from the unit
Setting horizontal angle of air flow
CAUTION:
Do not put your fingers in or near the blower and suction side
of the unit. The high-speed fan inside the unit may cause
injury.
The horizontal angle of the airflow must be set manually. Grip the deflector rod (See
Fig.3) and manually adjust it to your preferred direction.

The louver can be taken
down by releasing the
lock block.

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
drip from the unit. (See Fig. 2)
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.

2.5 Sleep operation
The SLEEP function is used to decrease energy use while you sleep (and don’t need
the same temperature settings to stay comfortable). This function can only be
activated via remote control.
Press the SLEEP button when you are ready to go to sleep. When in COOL mode,
the unit will increase the temperature by 1°C (2°F) after 1 hour, and will increase an
additional 1°C (2°F) after another hour. When in HEAT mode, the unit will decrease
the temperature by 1°C (2°F) after 1 hour, and will decrease an additional 1°C (2°F)
after another hour.
It will hold the new temperature for 7 hours, then the unit will turn off automatically.
The SLEEP function is not available in FAN or DRY mode.
