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

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

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

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

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.

Cleaning and Care

Trouble Shooting
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.
