crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable
fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
• Do not store or use flammable vapors or liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The
fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not use this product near water, e.g. in a wet
basement, laundry room or near a sink.

appliance.
• This appliance should be serviced only by a
qualified HVAC technician. Contact the dealer at
the location where the appliance was purchased
for information on servicing the appliance.
• Disposal of this appliance should be in
accordance with federal and local regulations.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) whose physical, sensory or

such persons receive supervision or training to
operate the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
• Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the
outdoor appliance.
• Do not operate this appliance with wet hands as

periods of time with doors or windows open or if
the humidity is very high.
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.

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.
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

CLEANING THE INDOOR APPLIANCE
Note: Always turn off the air conditioner and
disconnect the power source before cleaning the
appliance or removing the filter.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the
appliance. If the appliance is especially dirty,
use a cloth soaked in warm water to clean the
outside of the appliance.
• Do not use water to clean the inside of the
appliance as this can destroy the insulation and
cause electric shock.
• Do not use chemicals or chemically treated cloths
to clean the appliance.
• Do not use benzene, paint thinner or other
solvents to clean the appliance. They can cause
the plastic surface to crack or deform.
• Do not use water hotter than 40°C (104°F) to
clean the front panel. This can cause the panel to
deform or become discoloured.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
A clogged air filter can reduce the efficiency of the
air conditioner. It is advisable to clean the air filter
every two weeks or after 240 hours of operation,
whichever comes first. When removing the filter, do
not touch any metal parts inside the appliance as the
sharp metal edges can cause injury.
1. Lift the front panel of the indoor appliance.
2. Grip the tab on the end of the filter, lift it up and
pull it outwards to remove it from the appliance.
3. If the filter has a small air freshening filter, unclip if
from the larger filter. Clean the air freshening filter
with a soft brush or hand-held vacuum cleaner.
4. Clean the large filter with warm, soapy water.
Use mild detergent.
5. Rinse the filter with clean water. Ensure all soap
is removed from the filter and shake off excess
water.
6. Dry the filter in a cool, dry place. Do not expose
the filter to direct sunlight as this can warp or
shrink the filter.
7. When the filter is dry, replace the air freshening
filter and then slide the larger filter back into the
appliance.
8. Close the front panel of the indoor appliance.
Note: Do not touch the air freshening (plasma) filter
for at least 10 minutes after turning off the appliance
to allow it to cool.
