Cautions
For the purpose of safety, the air
conditioner must be properly grounded in
accordance with specifications.
Always remember to unplug the air
conditioner before opening inlet grill.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
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.
All these valuable materials may be taken to a
waste collecting center and used again after
adequate recycling.
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.
The manufacturer does not accept
responsibility for any damages that may arise
due to non-observation of the following
instruction.
Damaged air conditioners are not to be put
into operation. In case of doubt, consult your
supplier.
Use of the air conditioner is to be carried
out in strict compliance with the relative
instructions set forth in the User's Guide.
Installation shall be done by professional
people, don't install unit by yourself.

Cautions
Temperature and Humidity Range
If the air conditioner is used under higher
temperature condition than those listed,
the built-in protection circuit may operate
to prevent internal circuit damage. Also,
during Cooling and Dry modes, if the unit
is used under conditions of lower
temperature than those listed above, the
heat-exchanger may freeze, leading to
water leakage and other damage.
Do not use this unit for any other purposes
except for the Cooling and the Heating,
Dehumidifying, and air-circulation of
rooms should be in ordinary dwellings.
The wiring method should be in line with
the local wiring standand.
The waste battery should be disposed
properly.
If the fuse on PC board is broken, please
change it with the type T 3.15A/250VAC.
The air breaker should be all-pole switch.
and the distance between it's two contacts
should no less than 3mm.

For this model, the all-pole discon-rexion
connection method should be applied in
the power supply.
Such means for disconnection must be
incorporation in the fixed wiring.
All electrical repairs must be carried out
by qualified electricians. Inadequate repairs
may result in a major source of danger for
the user of the air conditoiner.
Do not damage any parts of the air
conditioner that carry refrigerant by
piercing or perforating the air conditioner's
tubes with sharp or pointed items, crushing
or twisting any tubes, or scraping the
coatings off the surfaces. If the refrigerant
spurts out and gets into eyes, it may result
in serious eye injuries.
Do not obstruct or cover the ventilation
grille of the air conditioner. Do not put
fingers or any other things into the
inlet/outlet and swing louver.
Do not allow children to play with the air
conditioner. In no case should children be
allowed to sit on the outdoor unit.
Specifications
The refrigerating circuit is leak-proof.

Cleaning and Care
CAUTION! Before cleaning the air conditioner ,be sure to turn it off and disconnect
the Power Supply Cord.
Be sure the Intake Grill is installed securely.
When removing and replacing the air filters, be sure not to touch the heat
exchanger, as personal injury may result.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Open the Intake Grill
1. Pull out both sides and the center of the
Intake Grill.
2. Pull the Air Filters upward to remove
them.
3. Clean the Air Filters.
5. Push in both sides and the center of the
Intake Grill.
4. Re-attach the Air Filters to the Intake Grill.
Push the Air Filter handles away from the
Intake Grille in direction as illustrated, then
pull out Air Filters.
Remove the dust from the Air Filters by
vacuum cleaner or washing them. After
washing, allow the Air Filters to dry
thoroughly in an area protected from sunlight.

The Filters fit onto the inside of the intake
Grill. (figure 1)
The bottom edges of the Air Filters should
fit into the filter brackets. (figure 1)
The Air Filters should be pushed down so
that their top edges fit under the projections
at the top of the Intake Grill. (figure 2)
Dust can be cleaned from the Air Filter
either with a vacuum cleaner, or by washing
the filter in a solution of mild detergent and
warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure
to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady
place before reinstalling.
If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the Air
Filter, air flow will be reduced, lowering
operating efficiency and increasing noise.
During periods of normal use, the Air
Filters should be cleaned every two weeks.

Operation and Performance
*Heating Performance
*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire
room by recirculating air throughout the room,
with the result that some time may be required
after first starting the air conditioner until the
room is heated.
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump
principle, absorbing heat from outdoor air and
transferring that heat indoors. As a result, the
operating performance is reduced as outdoor air
temperature drops. If you feel that insufficient
heating perfomance is being produced, we
recommend you use this air conditioner in
conjunction with another kind of heating
appliance.
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable
only to "HEAT & COOL TYPE".
When using the Heating mode under
conditions of low outdoor air temperature high
humidity, frost may form on the outdoor unit,
resulting in reduced operating performance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced
performance, this unit is equipped with a
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic
Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air
conditioner will temporarily stop, and the
defrosting circuit will operate briefly (for
about 7 to 15 minutes).
