1. GENERAL INFORMATION
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
-Installation of air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures and
electrical components.
-The installation of the air conditioner must be done by Carrier or one of Carrier authorized
dealers.
WARNINGS
•The operating voltage of electrical power supply should be within the voltage mentioned on unit
nameplate data.
•The capacity of electrical kWh counter should be larger than the operating currents required for
air conditioner(s) and any other electrical domestic appliances in use simultaneously from the
same supply.
•The installation of electrical distribution box after the electrical KWH counter is necessary to
properly distribute the electrical loads. The electrical distribution box should be equipped with
circuit breakers according to the electrical loads. For each installed air conditioner, a separate
circuit breaker with its own overload should be installed on the electrical distribution box.
•The installation of two-pole automatic circuit breaker is necessary to operate the air conditioner.
The circuit breaker must be installed to be far away from any flammable materials
(curtains…etc.). The circuit breaker must be suitable for air conditioner.
•Disconnect the electrical mains supply prior to any maintenance operations or prior
to handling any internal unit parts.
•The manufacturer declines any liability for damage resulting from modifications or errors in the
electrical or refrigerant connections, made during the installation, or from the improper use of
this equipment. This will void the unit warranty immediately.
•Failure to observe electrical safety codes may cause a fire hazard in case of short circuits.
•This system will only work safety and correctly, if installed and tested by qualified personnel.
•Do not open the electronic remote controller to avoid possible damage. In case of malfunction
contact a qualified service engineer.
•The unit contains rotating equipment (fan). Ensure that this is out of reach for children.
•Be conscious of the room temperature and general comfort, particularly when this is used near
children, senior or handicapped people.
•For correct use, the air conditioner must operate within the temperature limits indicated in the
table “Operating Limits” included in the installation manual. Incorrect use of the system outside
these limits may cause malfunction and dripping water.
•Controller batteries contain polluting elements. When exhausted, they must be disposed of in
accordance with local requirements.
•Do not switch off the split system by disconnecting the electric power supply.
The system must always be switched off using the remote control.

2. SAFETY PROTECTION OF AIR CONDITIONER
The air conditioner is equipped with complete safety protections to ensure safe operation
of air conditioner.
These safety protections are:
Auto restart Feature. with backup memory.
When the power failure is happened during system operation, the micom of printed
circuit board will memorize the operation setting. After the power is recovered, the
system operates automatically ( without remote control after compressor time delay ),
according to the previous operation settings.
3 (Three) minutes time delay between compressor turning off and turning on.
Frost prevention of indoor coil when the system is operating in cool mode with
excessive dirt on the indoor coil and / or clogged air filters and when the system is
operating in cool mode at low ambient temperature.
Self-diagnostic function to detect malfunctions.
When the air conditioner is on and in a malfunction, the fault code will appear on the
display located on the electronic panel on the unit as follows:
Er Indicates a malfunction of the room air sensor.
En Indicates a malfunction of the indoor coil sensor.

3. TIPS OF ENERGY SAVING AND OPTIMUM COMFORT
In Summer
•Keep room temperature to
comfort levels.
•Don’t remain in direct contact
with cold air for a long period.
This is harmful to health.
•Don’t wait until it is too hot.
Turn the air conditioner for
cooling before that.
•Don’t exaggerate on the
temperature intensity, too cold.
Extreme temperatures are harmful
to you health and waste energy.
In Winter
•Keep room temperature to
comfort levels.
•Don’t remain in direct contact
with warm air for a long period.
This is harmful to health.
•Don’t wait until it is too cold.
Turn the air conditioner for
heating before that.
•Don’t exaggerate on the
temperature intensity, too hot.
Extreme temperatures are harmful
to you health and waste energy.
Keep doors, windows and any other
openings closed to prevent the
conditioned air from escaping and to
prevent un conditioned air from entering
the space to be air conditioned.
When in cooling, avoid direct sun in the
room to be air-conditioned,
if possible shut curtains or shades.
Keep doors, furniture or any other
obstructions away from blocking return
air and / or supply air of the indoor unit
to assure maximum efficiency and
adequate air circulation.

-٤-
TIPS OF ENERGY SAVING AND OPTIMUM COMFORT (Cont.)
Clean periodically air filter of indoor
unit every month to assure adequate air
circulation and maximum efficiency.
Periodic service and maintenance of
the air conditioner or upon customer
request through carrier or carrier
authorized dealer service men.

the signals from the remote controller to the indoor unit.
•Prevent any liquid from falling into the remote controller. Do not expose the
remote controller to direct sunlight or heat.
•If the infrared signal receiver on the indoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the air conditioner
may not function properly. Use curtains to prevent the sunlight from falling on the receiver.
•If other electrical appliances react to the remote controller. Either move these appliances or
consult your local dealer.
