GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The serial rating plate indicates the
voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or service technician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.

operation. To operate the appliance manually:
1. Open the front panel of the indoor appliance.
2. The manual control button is located on the right
side hand side of the appliance.
3. Press the manual control button one time to
activate forced AUTO mode.
4. Press the manual control button a second time to
activate forced COOL mode.
5. Press the manual control button a third time to turn
the appliance off.
6. Ensure the front panel is closed when finished.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To optimize the performance of the appliance:
• Keep doors and windows closed
• Do not block air inlets or outlets
• Regularly inspect and clean all air filters
• Limit energy usage by using the timer function
Note: When the outside temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), keep the appliance plugged in at all times
to ensure smooth ongoing performance.

SETTING VERTICAL ANGLE OF AIR FLOW
While the appliance is on, use the SWING/DIRECT
button to set the vertical angle of the air flow.
1. Press the SWING/DIRECT button once to
activate the louver. Each press of the button will
adjust the louver by 6°.
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 continuous swing.
SETTING HORIZONTAL ANGLE OF AIR
FLOW
The horizontal angle of the air flow must be set
manually. Grip the deflector rod and manually adjust
it to the preferred direction.
NOTE ON LOUVER ANGLES
When using COOL or DRY mode, do not set the
louver at an extreme vertical angle for a long period
of time. Water can condense on the louver blade
which can then drip on the floor or furnishings.
When using COOL or HEAT mode, do not set the
louver at an extreme vertical angle for a long period
of time. This can cause reduced performance due to
restricted air flow.
Do not force the louver to move or adjust the louver
by hand. This will cause the louver to be out of sync
and it will not function correctly. If this occurs, turn off
the appliance and unplug it for a few seconds and
then restart the appliance. This will reset the louver
position.
CAUTION
Do not put fingers in or near the blower
and suction side of the appliance. The
high-speed fan inside the appliance can
cause serious harm or injury.
