two weeks.
3. Before turning on the unit, make sure that the air inlet
grille and air outlet grille are not obstructed by
anything.
4. This air conditioner is designed to be operated under conditions as follows:
Outdoor temp.: 18-43°C
Indoortemp.: 21-32°C
Cooling Operation _ The relative humidity of room should be less
than 80%. If the unit is used in a condition with a
relative humidity over 80%, there will be condensed
water on the surface of the unit.
5. Ifthe unit is operated beyond the conditions specified above, it may cause a failure

To set desired cooling temperature, simply rotate
the SELECTOR knob to the appropriate setting.
"HIGH FAN" will circulate the air at a maximum
speed without cooling.
"MED FAN" will circulate the air at a middle speed
without cooling.
"HIGH FAN" provides cooling automatically with
maximum air circulation.
"MED COOL" provides cooling automatically with
middle air circulation.
"LOW COOL" provides cooling automatically with
minimum air circulation.
"OFF" will completely shut off the unit.
When turning the SELECTOR knob from "LOW COOL" to "HIGH COOL", keep
your speed as slow as possible. Do not change the operation mode between
"LOW COOL" and "HIGH COOL" too often.

The thermostat automatically starts and stops the
running of the compressor in the air conditioner in order
to control and maintain a comfortable room
temperature. When the room temperature reaches the
desired setting, cooling will automatically stop. When
the room temperature rises above, cooling resumes.
This results in efficient use of power and economical
cooling.
The operating method is as follows: turn along the
arrow, the temperature setting becomes lower. When
you feel it is too cool, rotate the knob to the original
direction. When you feel it is too hot, rotate the knob
to the "COOLER" direction.
5

During the cooling operation of the unit, when the thermostat knob is rotated
counterclockwise, allow at least three minutes before turning back the knob
to the "COOLER" direction. Otherwise the fuse may blow due to an
overload of the unit.
Horizontal air flow adjustment (manually)
Move the "T" shaped handle left or right to
adjust horizontal air flow.
Vertical air flow adjustment (manually) Fig. 4
To adjust vertical air flow direction, adjust any one
of the horizontal louver blades.

This is usually kept in the closed position and
use only when clearing smoke and/or odors
from the room. When the ventilation switch is
pushed to "CLOSE", the fresh air ventilation is
closed; when the ventilation switch is pushed
to "VENT", the fresh air ventilation is opened.
• Keeping the fresh air ventilation
opened for a long time will reduce the
cooling effeciency.
To avoid the possibility of personal injury, be sure to disconnect power to the unit
before servicing and/or cleaning.
I
CHEMICALS
Do Not use gasoline, benzene, thinner
or any other chemicals, or any liquid
insecticide on the air conditioner, as
these substances may cause flaking
off of the paint, cracking or deformation
of plastic parts.
Never attempt to clean the unit by
pouring water directly over any of the
surface areas, as this will cause
deterioration of electrical components
and wiring insulation.

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, air flow is obstructed and reduces cooling
efficiency. The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks.
Fig. 7
1. Removal of Air Filter
1) Press "PUSH" on the bottom corners of the inlet grill. See Fig. 7
2) Pull the air filter down to remove.
2, Cleaning of Air Filter
1) Remove the dust clogged in the filter by tapping it or vacuum clean it.
2) Wash the filter well with lukewarm water or a neutral cleaning agent.
3. Attaching the Air Filter
Installation of the air filter is the reverse of the removal process.
Never use hot water over 40°C(104°F) to clean the air filter and air fresher.
Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.

• Dust may accumulate on the front panel, use soft wet cloth with a neutral cleaning
agent to wipe it.
• Never use water over 50°C, alcohol, gasoline, acid, solvent or brush to clean the
front panel as this will damage the surface of the part.
