Do not place the air filter screen under the exposure of
sunlight or near an over to dry; do not use warm water
above 400C to do the cleaning so as to avoid deformation.
* Power must be turned off before
doing the cleaning.
* Use a piece of soft dry cloth to clear
off the dust on the units.
* Do not use volatile oil, gasoline,
diluting agents or abrasive power, etc.
in doing the cleaning.
* Use household neutral detergent to

raised ends or blockage of the drainage tubes.
* Make sure that the air filter screen is properly in place
before operating the machine.
*Disconnect the power source
of the air conditioner.
*Before pulling out the power
plug, make sure that the
operation of the machine is fully
stopped.
* Please use a plastic
sheet to cover the unit
to prevent dust or filth
from entering the outdoor
unit.
Prior To Operational Seasons
Air outlet
is blocked.
Air inlet is
blocked. * Make proper maintenance to the air filter screen and
other parts.
Gently pat the screen or use a vacuum
cleaner to do the cleaning. If too much
filth is accumulated on the screen, a
small amount of neutral detergent
solution can be used for the cleaning.

Removal of the filter screen
After The Operational Seasons
If the machine is operated with the air filter screen removed, dust and foreign objects
will result in faulty performances of the air conditioner.
*Check to see if the air outlets of the indoor and outdoor
units are blocked;
*The protective cover of the outdoor unit must be
removed.

* PHENOMENA DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT *
Please read the following contents before contacting the maintenance people:
If the above-stated problem is not solved even after the related corrective measure is taken, please disconnect the power source
and contact our Co. dealer of the authorized maintenance shop.
The following phenomena air not faulty operational performances:
Sometimes the air sent out from the air
conditioner may smell some odd odors.
This is due to the cigarette smoke, the
cosmetic smell, the odors of walls or
furniture pieces in the room that are
stained on the air conditioner.
During the operation or when the machine
is stopped, some "ZZZ..." sound may be
heard. This is because the refrigerant
inside the air conditioner is still flowing.
When the cooling or heating operation is
started or stopped, some "patting" sound
may be heard. This is because some parts
of the surface boards are expanded due
to changes of temperature, which results
in the friction of these parts. This is not a
performance fault.
