Electrical safety
Grounding: This room air conditioner must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. If the power cord has a grounding plug with a grounding wire, plug it
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. If the power cord has not a grounding plug with a
grounding wire, the grounding wire must connect the breaker that is properly installed and grounded.
Warning: Improper use of the grounding plug or breaker can result in a risk of electric shock. Call a qualified electrician
if you don’t understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the air conditioner is properly grounded. If
the wall outlet or breaker is not grounded, please contact an electrician to have it replaced with a properly grounded
outlet or breaker. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Adapter plug: We strongly advise against using an adapter plug or breaker.
Operating conditions
1. Temperature: T1 instance: -7℃~43℃(16℃~43℃in cooling-only type)

If the unit runs beyond the temperature for a long time, it may cause cooling capacity to decrease or protector to
work.
2. Relative humidity: <80%
If the unit runs beyond the humidity range, condensate may be formed near blade and outlet of air conditioner. It’ s
normal.
3. In heating operation, strange smell may come from the unit. It is Normal phenomenon.
4. The performance parameters refer to name plate.
5. The waterproof level of indoor unit is IPX0. Do not use it in the laundry or bathroom.
6. The outdoor unit can’ t be installed in a closed area.
7. Fuse:50T T3.15AL250V or F3.15AL250V, rated current:3.15A.
Tips
•Install the unit on the north side, as normally that is the shaded side. This will enhance the operation of your
unit.
•Use correct electric voltage and proper ampere for the unit to run effectively.
•Only let a certified electrician do any modifications to your electrical outlet or breaker.
•Use a dedicated line for the operation of your air conditioner to avoid the possibility of an electrical surge.
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
•The dimensions of the space necessary for correct installation of the appliance including the minimum
permissible distances to adjacent structures.
•The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
•Disconnect the power supply before cleaning and maintenance.
•If the appliance is not connected by plug,an all-pole disconnection device which has at least 3mm separation
distance in all pole and a residual current device (RCD) with the rating of above 10mA shall be incorporated in
the fixed wiring according to the national rule.
•If the appliance is connected by plug,it must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

Energy Saving Guide
•When installing your air conditioner make sure to seal all areas where there is a possibility of air leakage.
•Airflow should not be blocked inside either by curtains, drapes or furniture or outside by shrubs or bushes.
•Do not needlessly use an electrical light or other appliances that produce heat.
•Keep the blinds and the drapes drawn on all the other window.
•While cooking use an exhaust fan in the kitchen to remove the excess heat produced.
Only single-phase a.c. power can be used.
please refer to nameplate for details.
Use the specified power cord; do not
change it.
Do not put fingers or sticks into the inlet or
outlet of air conditioner; the running fan
may cause
injuries.
Do not put anything on the outdoor
unit.
Do not switch on or off the unit by plugging
or pulling off the plug, or by switching on
or off the breaker
Keep indoor ventilated, especially when
there is operating gas equipment.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Protect Functions
Protect functions can prolong the air conditioner’ s service life and provide more comfortable airflow.
Delay-starting protection for the compressor
The compressor will restart working at least 3 minutes (5 minutes in heating mode) after being turned off to keep the
pressure balance of the cooling system.
Remarks: There will be 1 minute for the compressor to work after the unit is electrified for the first time.
Defrosting
The outdoor heat exchanger may frost if the outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high. In this case,
auto-defrosting has operated for 3~10 minutes. pause indicator will be on, indoor and outdoor fan stop.
Heating overload protection
When the temperature of indoor pipe is too high, air conditioner enters heating overload protection. And indoor fan
speed should be adjusted to a higher gear automatically. Outdoor fan and compressor may be stopped. When indoor
pipe temperature drops to a rated value, air conditioner will exit heating overload protection. Indoor fan motor
resumes to the normal status.
Blowing residual heat function
Do not place plants or animals directly in
the path of the air conditioner’ s airflow.
Doing so could harm
them
Switch off the unit, cut off the power
source and make sure the fan stops before
cleaning the unit.
For removal and installation of air
conditioner, please refer to professionals
or contact service agents.
Please contact service agents for service.
Improper service may cause accident.

Indoor fan will keep running at low fan speed for 80 seconds when air conditioner is stopped in heating mode.
Cooling airflow proof
In the first several minutes of heating operation, PAUSE indicator lights; indoor fan doesn’t run and louver blades
cannot be controlled. About 5 minutes later, air conditioner will blow heat airflow, PAUSE indicator is off.
Freeze-prevention
To prevent indoor heat exchanger freezing in cooling and dehumidification operation, compressor or outdoor fan may
stop running; indoor fan speed will be adjusted to a higher gear automatically.
Dry for enzyme-prevention
Indoor fan motor will go on running for 3 minutes at low fan speed when turned off in cooling mode in order to keep
dry condition inside the unit.
Auto restart
The unit memories the operation mode, air flow setting, temperature setting etc., so that should there be
a power failure when the unit is in operation, it will automatically return the same operating conditions
when the power is restored.
Cooling overload working
In cooling operation, if the temperature of outdoor heat exchanger is too high, indoor fan speed will be adjusted to a
lower gear automatically and compressor may be stopped.
Drip proof
In cooling and dehumidification operation, louver blades can change the position automatically to prevent from
dripping.
UVC TECHNOLOGY
UVC working theory
The UVC band has a short wavelength and high energy. It destroys the molecular structure in the cells of microbial
organisms (bacteria, viruses and other pathogens) in a short time. By destroying the DNA and RNA of the microbes to
prevent their reproduction, it can achieve an efficient and rapid broad-spectrum sterilization effect. The air and the
surface of the object are sterilized and disinfected, making the cells unable to regenerate, so they are widely used in
the sterilization and disinfection of water and air. The data shows that only 30mW/cm2 of UVC ultraviolet radiation
intensity can kill almost 100% of most bacteria in one second. The effect is very significant, and it can be widely used in
the medical and health field. In the field of personal health and household hygiene, ultraviolet light can be used for
disinfection of water glasses and tableware, air purification and sterilization, killing insects, sterilization and
deodorization of shoes and socks, and disinfection of baby bottles.
58℃self-clean
When self-cleaning is on.
a. Frosting: the evaporator temperature drop down sharply, the frost and ice are created.
b. Heating and melting: turbo heating is on to melt the ice and dry the water. During the high temperature 58℃
virus will be killed in this temperature.
c. Drying: the dust is removed and bacteria is sterilized.

Mildew proof
After the cooling or dehumidification mode is turned off, a large amount of water stains still remains in the evaporator
and air duct of the internal unit. To prevent mildew, mold and breeding of germs, the air conditioner will continue to
supply air for 3 minutes to dry residual moisture.
Anti-virus filter
Lysozyme mainly breaks down the β-1,4 glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine in
the cell wall, so that the insoluble mucopolysaccharides in the cell wall are broken down into soluble glycopeptides,
causing the contents of the cell wall to escape. Dissolve bacteria. Lysozyme can also directly bind to negatively charged
viral proteins and form complexes with DNA, RNA, and apoproteins to inactivate viruses.
