1. GENERAL INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Installing and servicing of air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system
pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install or service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance function such as cleaning coil and
filters. Trained service personnel should perform all other operations.
When working on air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags
and labels attached to the unit.
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 size 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. SYSTEM SAFETY PROTECTIONS
The air conditioner is equipped with complete safety protections to ensure safe
operation of air conditioner at different operating conditions :
Auto Restart Feature with backup memory.
When the power failure is happened during the air conditioner operation, the microprocessor
of printed circuit board will memorize the operation settings. After the power is recovered,
the air conditioner operates automatically ( without remote control after elapse of
compressor time delay).
3 (Three) minutes time delay between compressor turning off and turning on for compressor
protection against cycling.
Anti-freezing protection 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 air conditioner is
operating in cool mode at low ambient temperature.
High temperature protection of outdoor coil when the air conditioner is operating in cool
mode.
Cold draft protection when the system is operating in heat mode.
When starting heat mode, the fan speed is regulated automatically from the lowest grade to
the present level, according to the temperature rise of indoor coil. This function can prevent
cold air blowing out at the beginning of heat modem which avoids the discomfort to the
user.
High temperature protection of indoor coil when the air conditioner is operating in heat
mode.
Defrost protection of outdoor coil when the air conditioner is operating in heat mode
at very low ambient temperature.
Smart self-diagnostic function for malfunctions detection for fast easy service and
maintenance.
Smart refrigerant leak detection by sensitive sensors mounted on the indoor and outdoor
coils for fast easy service and maintenance.

3.TIPS OF ENERGY SAVING AND OPTIMUM COMFORT LEVEL
Adjust economical setting temperature for cooling mode in summer for energy
saving and optimum comfort level.
•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 your health and waste energy.
Wireless Control Wired Control
Adjust economical setting temperature for heating mode in winter for energy saving
and optimum comfort level.
•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 your health and waste energy.

TIPS OF ENERGY SAVING AND OPTIMUM COMFORT LEVEL (Cont.)
Use SLEEP (ECO) function for during COOL model or HEAT mode economical running
and energy saving which automatically controls the selected temperature and
consequently control the room temperature to avoid overcooling or avoid overheating
and to have comfortable healthy sleep.
Cool Model HeatMode Cool Model HeatMode
Wireless Control Wired Control
Clean periodically air filters of indoor unit
every month to assure adequate air
circulation and maximum cooling and
heating efficiency.
Periodic service and maintenance of the
air conditioner or upon customer request
through Carrier or Carrier authorized
dealer to assure maximum cooling and
heating efficiency.
