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.

modes can be achieved in the following temperature
ranges. When the air conditioner is used outside of
these temperature ranges, certain safety protection
features will activate and cause the appliance to
perform less efficiently.
COOL mode HEAT mode DRY mode
Room temperature 16°C - 32°C

and emergency operation only. Do not use this function
unless absolutely necessary. To restore regular operation,
use the remote control to activate the appliance.
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

set temperature based on the current temperature
where you are located to reach the most
comfortable condition.
Press the iFEEL button to activate this feature. The
remote will display the current temperature at its
location. The remote will send a signal to the air
conditioner every 3 minutes, so long as you remain
within range of the appliance.
The iFEEL light on the control panel of the appliance
will illuminate for 5 seconds every three minutes
to indicate that it has received a signal from the
remote. If the appliance does not receive a signal
from the remote during any 10 minute interval,
it will beep to indicate that the iFEEL feature has

Press the swing to begin the louver movement. Press
the swing button again to stop the louver at the
desired angle.
Note that there are two swing buttons on the remote
control. One controls the up and down louver and
the other controls the side to side louver. The arrows
on the button will indicate which louver is being set.
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
