or a loose socket which is dam-
aged.
• Otherwise, it may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Always plug into a grounded
outlet.
• Otherwise, it may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not modify or extend the
power cord length.
• It will cause electric shock or fire
due to heat generation.
Do not disassemble or modify
products.
• It may cause failure and electric
shock.
Be caution when unpacking and
installing.
• Sharp edges may cause injury.
Do not use the power cord near flam-
mable gas or combustibles such as
gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc.
• It may cause explosion or fire.
Be sure not to do.

Safety Precautions
■Operation
Do not place heavy object on the
power cord and take care so that
the cord should not be pressed.
• There is danger of fire or electric
shock.
Do not share the outlet with
other appliances.
• It will cause electric shock or fire
due to heat generation.
Take the power plug out if neces-
sary, holding the head of the plug
and do not touch it with wet hands.
• Otherwise, it may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not place the power cord
near a heater.
• It may cause fire and electric
shock.
Do not allow water to run into
electric parts.
• It will cause failure of machine or
electric shock.
Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not
use wax, thinner, or a strong
detergent.
• The appearance of the air condi-
tioner may deteriorate, change
color, or develop surface flaws.
Unplug the unit if strange
sounds, odors, or smoke come
from it.
• Otherwise it may cause fire and
electric shock accident.
Do not open the suction inlet
grill of the product during opera-
tion.
• Otherwise, it may electrical
shock and failure.
If water enters the product, turn off the the
power switch of the main body of appliance.
Contact service center after taking the
power-plug out from the socket.
Ventilate the room well when
using this appliance together
with a stove, etc.
• An oxygen shortage may occur.
Turn off the power and breaker
firstly when cleansing the unit.
• Since the fan rotates at high speed
during operation, it may cause
injury.
Turn off the main power switch
when not using it for a long
time.
• Prevent accidental startup and the
possibility of injury.

dow for ventilation before oper-
ating the unit.
• Otherwise, it may cause explo-
sion, and a fire.
Never touch the metal parts of
the unit when removing the fil-
ter.
• They are sharp and may cause
injury.

Safety Precautions
Do not put a pet or house plant
where it will be exposed to
direct air flow.
• It may cause injury.
Do not block the inlet or outlet
of air flow.
• It may cause product failure.
Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not
use wax, thinner, or a strong
detergent.
• The appearance of the air condi-
tioner may deteriorate, change
color, or develop surface flaws.
Do not step on the indoor/out-
door unit and do not put any-
thing on it.
• It may cause an injury through
dropping of the unit or falling
down.
Always insert the filter securely.
Clean it every two weeks.
• Operation without filters will cause
failure.
Do not drink water drained from
air conditioner.
• It contains containments and will
make you sick.
Be cautious not to touch the
sharp edges when installing.
• It may cause injury.
Avoid excessive cooling and
perform ventilation sometimes.
• Otherwise, it may do harm to
your health.
Do not insert the hands or bars
through the air inlet or outlet
during operation.

Disassembly Instructions
—Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.
1. When replacing the refrigeration cycle, be sure to
discharge the refrigerant system using a FreonTM
recovery System.
If there is no valve to attach the recovery system,
install one (such as a WATCO A-1) before venting
the FreonTM. Leave the valve in place after
servicing the system.
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the
desired component, and unbrace the pinch-off
tubes.
3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,
leaving the valves open.
4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.
5. Evacuate as follows.
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated Fig.
17A.
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns counterclock-
wise and leave the valves closed.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold
and entire system.
3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 microns of vacuum is obtained. Close
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would
indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in
the system. With valves A and B closed, stop
the vacuum pump.
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See Fig. 17B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
5) The system is now ready for final charging.
6. Recharge as follows :
1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from the
High-side. If the total charge cannot be put
in the High-side, the balance will be put in the
suction line through the access valve which you
installed as the system was opened.
2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in Fig. 17B.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the man-
ifold connection.
3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-
side.
b. Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to
rise to 39 lbs.
c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps B and C until the balance of the
charge is in the system.
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,
use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running
and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube
cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to
set for a while, and then test the leakage of the
pinch-off connection.
NOTICE
If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack
valves A and B for a few minutes, then open
slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise.
This will keep oil from foaming and being
drawn into the vacuum pump.

Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting Guide
In general, possible trouble is classified in two causes.
The one is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is Ineffective Air
Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application.
Unit is running but cooling is ineffective
Ineffective Cooling
Check of outdoor coil
(heat exchanger) & the fan
operation.
Check gas leakage.
Repair gas leak.
Replacement of unit if the
unit is beyond repair.
Satisfactory operation with
temperature difference of
inlet & outlet air ; 44.6~50˚F
Check heat load increase.
Unexpected residue
Overloaded Circuit
Check of inside gas
pressure.
Adjusting of refrigerant
charge
Malfunction of compressor
Replacement of
compressor
Check of cold air circulation
for smooth flow.
Dirty indoor coil
(Heat exchanger)
Malfunction of fan
Clogged of air filter
Obstruction at air outlet
Correct above trouble
Stop of auto air-swing
Check clogging in
refrigeration circuit.
Repair clogging in
refrigeration circuit.

Check voltage at outlet. Correct if none.
Connect wire. Refer to wiring diagram for terminal
identification. Repair or replace loose terminal.
Test capacitor.
Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturer's
rating. Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.
Fan blade hitting shroud or blower wheel hitting
scroll. Realign assembly.
Units using slinger ring condenser fans must
have 1/4to 5/16 inch clearance to the base. If it is
hitting the base, shim up the bottom of the fan
motor with mounting screw(s).
Check fan motor bearings; if motor shaft will not
rotate, replace the motor.
Check voltage. See limits on this page. If not within
limits, call an electrician.
Test capacitor.
Check bearings. Does the fan blade rotate freely?
If not, replace fan motor.
Pay attention to any change from high speed to
low speed. If the speed does not change, replace
the motor.
Check grommets; if worn or missing, replace them.
If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,
replace it.
If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,
replace it.
Tighten it.
If knocking sounds continue when running or
loose, replace the motor. If the motor hums or
noise appears to be internal while running,
replace motor.
No power
Wire disconnected or
connection loose
