•Do not use flammable sprays such as har spray, lacquer or pant
near the unt. Ths may cause fre or combuston.
•Do not operate the ar condtoner n places near or around
combustble gases. Emtted gas may collect around the unt and
cause exploson.
•Do not operate the ar condtoner n a wet room (e.g., bathroom or
laundry room). Ths can cause electrcal shock and cause the product
to deterorate.
•Do not expose your body drectly to cool ar for a prolonged perod
of tme.
Electrical warnings
•Only use the specfed power cord. If the power cord s damaged, t
must be replaced by the manufacturer or certfed servce agent.
•Keep power plug clean. Remove any dust or grme that accumulates
on or around the plug. Drty plugs can cause fre or electrc shock.
•Do not pull power cord to unplug unt. Hold the plug frmly and pull
t from the outlet. Pullng drectly on the cord can damage t, whch
can lead to fre or electrc shock.

Warnings for product use
•If an abnormal stuaton arses (lke a burnng smell), mmedately
turn off the unt and pull the power plug. Call your dealer for
nstructons to avod electrc shock, fre or njury.
•Do not nsert fngers, rods or other objects nto the ar nlet or
outlet. Ths may cause njury, snce the fan may be rotatng at hgh

•Do not clean the ar condtoner wth combustble cleanng agents.
Combustble cleanng agents can cause fre or deformaton.
Warning
•If the ar condtoner s used together wth burners or other heatng
devces, thoroughly ventlate the room to avod oxygen defcency.
•Turn off the ar condtoner and unplug the unt f you are not gong
to use t for a long tme.
•Turn off and unplug the unt durng storms.
•Make sure that water condensaton can dran unhndered from the
unt.
•Do not operate the ar condtoner wth wet hands. Ths may cause
electrc shock.
•Do not use devce for any other purpose than ts ntended use.
•Do not clmb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unt.
•Do not allow the ar condtoner to operate for long perods of tme
wth doors or wndows open, or f the humdty s very hgh.
•Do not use an extenson cord, manually extend the power cord, or
connect other applances to the same outlet as the ar condtoner.
Poor electrcal connectons, poor nsulaton, and nsuffcent voltage
can cause fre.
Cleaning and maintenance warnings
•Turn off the devce and pull the plug before cleanng. Falure to do
so can cause electrcal shock.

restored.
•Anti-mildew (some units)
When turnng off the unt from COOL, AUTO (COOL), or DRY modes, the ar condtoner wll contnue
operate at very low power to dry up condensed water and prevent mldew growth.
•Wireless control (some units)
Wreless control allows you to control your ar condtoner usng your moble phone and a Wreless

When turnng on your unt, the louver wll automatcally resume ts former angle.
•Refrigerant leakage detection (some units)
The ndoor unt wll automatcally dsplay “EC” when t detects refrgerant leakage.

Setting vertical angle of air flow
Whle the unt s on, use the SWING/DIRECT button to set the drecton (vertcal angle) of arflow.
1. Press the SWING/DIRECT button once to actvate the louver. Each tme you press the button, t
wll adjust the louver by 6°. Press the button untl the drecton you prefer s reached.
2. To make the louver swng up and down contnuously, press and hold the SWING/DIRECT button
for 3 seconds. Press t agan to stop the automatc functon.
Setting horizontal angle of air flow
The horzontal angle of the arflow must be set manually. Grp the deflector rod (See Fig.B) and
manually adjust t to your preferred drecton.
For some units, the horzontal angle of the arflow can be set by remote control. please refer to the
Remote Control Manual.
C
Note on louver angles:
When usng COOL or DRY mode, do not set louver at too vertcal an angle for long
perods of tme. Ths can cause water to condense on the louver blade, whch wll drop
on your floor or furnshngs. (See Fig.A)
When usng COOL or HEAT mode, settng the louver at too vertcal an angle can reduce
the performance of the unt due to restrcted ar flow.
Do not move louver by hand. Ths wll cause the louver to become out of sync. If ths
occurs, turn off the unt and unplug t for a few seconds, then restart the unt. Ths wll
reset the louver.
