Disposal of the old air conditioner
Before disposing an old air conditioner
that goes out of use, please make sure it's
inoperative and safe. Unplug the air
conditioner in order to avoid the risk of
child entrapment.
It must be noticed that air conditioner
system contains refrigerants, which require
specialized waste disposal. The valuable
materials contained in a air conditioner can
be recycled. Contact your local waste
disposal center for proper disposal of an
old air conditioner and contact your local
authority or your dealer if you have any
question. Please ensure that the pipework
of your air conditioner does not get
damaged prior to being picked up by the
relevant waste disposal center, and
contribute to environmental awareness by
insisting on an appropriate, anti-pollution
method of disposal.
Disposal of the packaging of your new
air conditioner
All the packaging materials employed in
the package of your new air conditioner
may be disposed without any danger to the
environment.
The cardboard box may be broken or cut
into smaller pieces and given to a waste
paper disposal service. The wrapping bag
made of polyethylene and the polyethylene
foam pads contain no fluorochloric
hydrocarbon.
Consult your local authorities for the name and
address of the waste materials collecting
centers and waste paper disposal services
nearest to your house.
Safety Instructions and Warnings
Before starting the air conditioner, read the
information given in the User's Guide
carefully. The User's Guide contains very
important observations relating to the
assembly, operation and maintenance of the
air conditioner.

cause serious consequences.
Incorrect operations may result in severe consequences of death or serious injuries.
INSTRUCTIONS: These information can ensure the correct operation of the machine.
Be sure to conform with the following important Safety Cautions.
The Safety Cautions should be at hand so that they can be checked at any time when needed.

ance and repairment
may cause water
leak, electrical shock
and fire hazard.
switch
off
Please let the dealer be responsible for installing
the conditioner.
Incorrect installation may cause water leak, elec-
trical shock and fire hazard.
Don't put fingers or any other things into the
inlet/outlet and swing louver while the condi-
tioner is in operation.
Because the highspeed
fan is very dangerous
and may cause injuries.
Call the dealer to take measures to prevent the
refrigerant from leaking.
If conditioner is installed in a small room be sure
to take every measure in order to prevent suffoca-
tion accident even in case of refrigerant leakage.
When conditioner is deinstalled or reinstalled
dealer should be responsible for them.
Incorrect installation may cause water leaking,
electrical shock and fire hazard.
Don't blow the human body with the cooling

Trouble Shooting
Water flowing sound is heard When the air conditoner is started, when the
compressor starts or stops during operation
or when the air conditioner is stopped,it som-
etimes sounds ì Bi- Bi-î or ì Godo-Godoî . It is
the flowing sound of the refrigerant , not a
malfunction.
Cracking sound is heard
It smells.
This is caused by heat expansion or contra-
ction of plastics
Air blown out from the indoor unit sometimes
smells. The smell results from smells of
furniture, paint , tobacco absorbed by indoor
unit.
During operation, white fog comes out of
indoor unit.
When in COOL or DRY mode, a thin water
fog can be seen blown out of unit ,this is the
condensed fog because the suddenly cooled
indoor air is blown out.
Automatically switch into FAN mode during
cooling.
To prevent frost from being accumulated on the
indoor unit heat exchanger, it sometimes auto-
matically switched into the FAN mode,but it will
soon back to the cooling mode.
The air conditioner cannot be restarted soon
after it stops.
Air conditioner does not start?
This is because of the self-protection function
of the system, therefore,it cannot be restarted
for about three minutes after it stops.
Please wait for
three minutes

Trouble Shooting
Air does not blow or the fan speed cannot be
changed during drying.
In DRY mode, when room temperature
becomes 2 C higher than temperature setting,
unit rill run intermittently at LO speed regardless
of FAN setting
During heating,indoor fan is still running even
unit is stopped.
To get ride of the excess heat, indoor fan will
continue running for a while after unit autom-
atically stops.
Water or vapor generated from the outdoor
unit during heating.
This happens when the frost accumulated on
the outdoor unit is removed (during defrosting
operation).
Defrosting operation
Please check the following things about your air conditioner before making a
service call.
Unit fails to start.
Is the power supply switch on ?
Power supply switch is not in
ON position.
Is city supply power normal ? Is the earth leakage breaker
in action ?
Be sure to turn off the power
supply switch immediately and
contact the sales dealer.
