SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Refrigerant Leakage Detection
With this new technology, the display area will appear EC and the
indication lamps will continue ashing when the outdoor unit
detects refrigerant leakage.
Louver Angle Memory Function (Optional)
Within the scope of safety angle, it will memorize the open angle
of horizontal louver. If it exceeds, it will memorize the boundry
of safety angle. In the following circumstances, it will return to
standard angle:
1) Pressing the turbo or manual control button.
2) Unplug and then plug in the machine.
So we strongly suggest that the open angle of the horizontal
louver should not be set too small, in case the condensed water
forms and drips from the horizontal louver.
Self Clean Function (Optional)
Function used after the shut down of cooling operation to clean
the Evaporator, it keeps the air fresh for the next operation.
For cooling models, the unit will operate under FAN ONLY mode
atLOWfanspeed forhalfan hour,andthen turn o automatically.
For cooling & heating models, the unit will operate as in the
below sequence :
FAN ONLY mode at Low fan speed--Heating operation with
LOW fan speed
---FAN ONLY operation--Stop Operation---Turn o.
This function is only available under COOL (AUTO COOL, FORCED
COOL) and DRY mode.
Before selecting the function, it is recommended to run the air
conditioner under cooling operation for about half an hour.
Once the Self Clean function is activated, all TIMER setting will be
cancelled.
During SELF CLEAN operation, when pressing the SELF CLEAN
button on the remote controller again,the unit will stop the
operation and turn o the unit automatically.
CLEAN AIR Function (On some models)
Improving the quality of indoor air is one of the purposes of
an air conditioner. This air conditioner is equipped with ionizer
or Plasma Dust Collector(depending on specic conguration
of the model). With the anions generated by Ionizer, the air
circulation of the air conditioner lls the room with refreshing,
natural and healthy air. The Plasma Dust Collector generates a
high voltage ionization zone, through which the air is converted
to plasma. Inside the air most of the dust, smoke, and pollen
particles are captured by the electrostatic lter.
Anti-mildew Function (Optional)
When turns o the unit on COOL, DRY, AUTO (Cool) mode, the
air conditioner will continue operating for about 10 minutes
(depending on models) with soft wind.This will help to dry
up the condensed water inside the evaporator, and prevent
the breeding of mildew. Under Anti-mildew operation, do not
restart the air conditioner until the unit iscompletely o.

CAUTIONS
Do not operate the air conditioner for long period with the
air ow direction set downward in cooling or dehumidifying
mode. Otherwise, condensation may occur on the surface of the
horizontal louvers causing moisture to drop on to oor or on
furnishing.
When the air conditioning is started immediately after it was
stopped, the horizontal louver might not move for approximately
10 seconds.
Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small,
as COOLING or HEATING performance may be impaired due to too
restricted air ow area.
Do not move the horizontal louver manually, otherwise the
horizontal louver will be out of sync. But if this happens, please
cease operating, unplug power for a few seconds, then restart the
air conditioner.
HOW THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS
AUTO operation:
When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will
automatically select cooling, heating (cooling/heating models
only), or fan only operation depending on what temperature
you have selected and the room temperature.
The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically
round the temperature point set by you.
If the AUTO mode is uncomfortable, you can select desired
conditions manually.
SLEEP operation
When you push SLEEP button on remote controller during
cooling, heating (cooling & heating modes only) or AUTO
operation, the air conditioner will automatically increase
(cooling) or decrease (heating) 1º C / 2º F per hour for the rst
2 hours, then hold steady for the nest 5 hours, after that it will
switch o. This mode saves you energy and brings you comfort
at night.
DRYING operation
The temperature is regulated while dehumidifying by repeating
turning on and o of the cooling operation or fan only. The fan
speed is LOW.
To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:
Adjust the air ow direction correctly so that it is not directed
on people.

The following events may occur during normal operation.
Protection of the air conditioner.
Compressor protection
The compressor can´t restart for 3-4 minutes after it stops.
Anti-cold air (Cooling and heating models only)
The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when
the indoor heat exchanger is in one of the following three
situations and the set temperature has not been reached.
When heating has just started.
Defrosting.
Low temperature heating.
The indoor or outdoor fan stop running when defrosting
(Cooling and heating models only).
Defrosting (Cooling and heating models only)
Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle
when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high resulting
in lower heating eciency of the air conditioner.
During this condition air conditioner will stop heating operation
and start defrosting automatically.
The time to defrost may vary from 4 to 10 minutes according to
the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost built up on
the outdoor unit.
A white mist coming out from the indoor unit
A white mist may generate due to a large temperature
dierence between air inlet and air outlet on COOL mode in an
indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.
A white mist may generate due to moisture generated from
defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT
mode operation after defrosting.
Low noise of the air conditioner
You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is
running or has just stopped running. It is the sound of the
refrigerant owing or coming to a stop.
You can also hear a low “squeak” sound when the compressor
is running or has just stopped running. This is caused by heat
expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit
when the temperature is changing.
A noise may be heard due to louver restoring to its original
position when power is turned on.
Dust is blown out from the indoor unit.
This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not
been used for a long time or during rst use of the unit.
A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit
This is caused by the indoor unit giving o smells permeated
from building materials, from furniture or smoke.
The air conditioner turns to FAN only from COOL or HEAT
(For cooling and heating models only) mode.
When indoor temperature reaches the temperature setting on
air conditioner, the compressor will stop automatically, and the
air conditioner turns to FAN only mode. The compressor will
start again when the indoor temperature rises on COOL mode
or fails on HEAT mode (For cooling and heating models only) to
the set point.
The air conditioner runs Anti-mildew function after turning
o the unit.
When turning o the unit under COOL (AUTO COOL, FORCED
COOL) and DRY mode, the air conditioner will run Anti-mildew
function for about 10 minutes, then stop the operation and turn
o unit automatically.
Dripping water generate on the surface of the indoor unit
when cooling in a high relatively humidity (relative higher
than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to the maximum air
outlet position and select HIGH fan speed.
Heating mode (For cooling and heating models only).
The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit
and releases it via the indoor unit during heating operation.
When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the
air conditioner decrease accordingly. At the same time, heat
loading of the air conditioner increases due to large dierent
between indoor and outdoor temperature. If a comfortable
temperature can´t be achieved by the air conditioner, we
suggest you use a supplementary heating device.
Auto restart-function.
Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely
For the unit without Auto-restart feature, when the power
restores, the OPERATION indicator on the indoor unit starts
ashing. To restarts the operation, push the ON/OFF button on
the remote controller. For the unit with Auto-restart feature,
when the power restores, the unit restarts automatically with
all the previous settings preserved by the memory function.
