•FOR NORMAL COOLING
1. Turn the Operation Knob to the High Cool from the
Low Cool setting.
2. Set the Thermostat control to the desired
temperature mark i (the mid-point is a good
starting position). If the room temperature is not
satisfactory after a reasonable time, adjust the
control to a cooler or warmer setting, as
appropriate.

When the air conditioner has been performed
its cooling operation and is turned off or set
to the fan position, wait at least 3 minutes
before resetting to the cooling operation
again_

Additional controls and important information.
The ventilation lever must be in the CLOSE _sition in order to maintain the best cooling _nditions.
When fresh air is necessary in the room, set the ventilation lever to the OPEN position.
The damper is opened and room air isdrawn out.
NOTE: Before using the ventilation feature,
poslti,onthe lever, as shown. First, pull down
part (&}to horizontal line with part _).
Air Direction
The dir_tion of air can be controlled wherever you want to
cool by adjusting the horizontal louver and the verticai
louver.,
• HORIZONTAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL
To control horizontal direction of air flow, set to the ON
position the air-swing switch and the air flow will be swept
horizontally by the automatic air-swing system.
if you want to stop the air flow from moving, switch off the
air swing switch at the desired position of the vane.
. VERTICAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL
The vertical air direction is adjusted by moving the
horizontal louver.
How to Attach Drain Pan
The air _nditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensed water (moisture removed from
the air) is drained to the outside.
Invery humid weather, (and for reverse cycle mo_ls in the rever_ mode) excessive condensate water
removed from the air may cause some w_er to collect. To remove this excess water you can instaii the
drain p_ as detail_ below.
1.Take the drain pan which is located in the air di_haJge.
2. Remove the hole rubber from the base-pan (for some models).
3. Installthe drain pan to the fight _mer of the cabinet with 4 (or 2)
screws.
4. Connect the drain hose of 3/5"insi_ diameter to the outlet located
at the _ttom of the drain p_.You _n purcha_ the drain hose or
tubing locallyto saSsfy your particular needs. (Drain hose is not
supplied).

and Maintenance
TURN THE AiR CONDITIONER OFF AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling
capacity and also causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
1. Open the inlet grille upward by puffing out the bosom of the inlet grille.(a)
in another case, you can open the inlet grille downward by pulling out the top of the inlet
grille.(b)
2. Remove the air filter from the front gdlle assembly by puffing the air filter up or down
slightly.
3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40 _C (104 '_).(c)
4. Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely. Replace the filter.

2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly on the unit.
if the unit receives direct sunlight, build an awning to shade the cabinet.
3. There should be no obstacle, like a fence, within 20" which might restrict heat radiation from the
_ndenser.
4. To prevent reducing performance, install the unit so that louvers of the cabinet are not blocked.
5. Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to,avoid leaking the condensed water into the room
(about 1/2" or 1/4 bubble with level).
6. install the unit with its bottom portion 30~60" above the floor level.
7. Stuff the foam between the top of the unit and the wa!l to prevent air and insects from getting into
the room.

Troubleshooting Tips
Save, time and money! Review the chart below first and
you may not ne_ to cal! for service.
• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser
on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve
efficiency
• You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
• Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity' or on rainy days The water may overflow
and drip from the outdoor side of the unit,
• The fan may' run even when the compressor does not.
