ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
•
Only use the specified power cord. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or certified
service agent.

electric shock.
•Do not pull power cord to unplug 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE WARNINGS
•
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.
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

• Setting Angle of Air Flow
CAUTION
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.2.3) 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.
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.
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. 2.2 )
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.
