As cold air flows downward in COOL mode, adjusting air flow horizontally will be much more
helpful for a better air circulation.
As warm air flows upward in HEAT mode, adjusting air flow downward will be much more
helpful for a better air circulation.
Be careful not to catch a cold when cold air blows downward.
It is harmful to your health in summer to go frequently in and out of places where temp. difference
is above 7 C . Temp. difference of 3-5 C will remove your fatigue.
More than this, unit's load can be reduced and power consumption cut down as well. So, you'd
better set a temp. diff of 3-5 C between indoor and outdoor temp. in COOL mode.

CLEANING AND CARE
16
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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
18
Followings are not problems
Sound of water flowing is
not a problem.
Sound of cracking is heard.
Smell are generated.
During operation, white fog or
steam comes out from the indoor
unit.
No outlet air or fan speed can't be changed
in dry mode.
In cooling operation, unit switches to
blowing operation.
Won't start?
In heating operation, water or steam are
blown out of outdoor unit.
In heating operation, indoor fan won't stop
even if unit is stopped.
During unit operation or at stop, a swishing or
gurgling noise may be heard. This noise is generated
by refrigerant flowing in the system.
Unit will not restart after stop.
During unit operation, a cracking noise may be heard.
This noise is generated by the casing expanding or
shrinking because of temperature changes.
This is because the system circulates smells from the
interior air such as the smell of cigarettes or the
painting on the furniture.
When unit is running at places like restaurant, etc. where
dense edible oil fumes always exist, this will happen.
To prevent frost from accumulating on indoor heat
exchanger, unit will switch to blowing operation for a
while then resume cooling operation.
Though ON/OFF button is set
to ON, unit won't resume cooling,
dry or heating operation
in 3 min after it is stopped, this
is because of 3-min-delay
protection circuit. Please wait 3 minutes
Unit will reduce fan speed repeatedly and automatically
if room temp. is too low in dry operation.
This occurs when frost accumulated
on the outdoor unit is removed.
(during defrosting operation)
After unit stop, indoor fan will go on running
until indoor unit cools down.
