the user of the air conditioner.
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.
Caution

start of the compressor(Technical Process)
and the adversely influence caused by
the 2nd harmonies of compressor following
installation conditions do apply:

has to be done at the main power
distribution.This distribution has to be of a
Iow impedance. Normally the required
impedance is reached at a 32A fusing point.
2.No other equipment has to be connected:
to this power line.
3.For the details installation acceptance
please refer to your contract with the power
supplier, if restrictions do apply for products:
like washing machines,air conditioners or
electrical ovens.

Remote controller's operation
When in use, put the signal transmission head directly to the
receiver hole on the indoor unit.
The distance between the signal transmission head and the
receiver hole should be within 7m without any obstacle as well.
Don't throw the controller, prevent it from being damaged.
When electronic-started type fluorescent lamp or change-over
type fluorescent lamp or wireless telephone is installed in the
room, the receiver is apt to be disturbed in receiving the signals
so the distance to the indoor unit should be shorter.
Loading of the battery
Load the batteries as illustrated. 2 R-03 batteries, resetting key (cylinder)
Remove the battery cover:
Slightly press " " and push down the cover.
Load the battery:
Be sure that the loading is in line with the" + "/"-"
pole request as illustrated.
Put on the cover again
Confirmation indicator:
In disorderation, reload the batteries or load the new batteries after 6mins.
Note:
Use two new same-typed batteries when loading.
If the remote controller can't run normally or doesn't work at all,
use a sharp pointed item to press the reset key.
Hint:
Remove the batteries in case unit won't be in usage for a long period.
If there are any display after taking-out just need to press reset key.
Power failure resume(please set and apply as necessary)
If sudden power failure occurs, the unit will resume original operation when power is
supplied again.
Note: When sudden power failure happens during unit operation in power failure resume mode, if
the air conditioner is not desired for use in a long period, please shut off the power supply
in case that the unit automatically resume operation when power is re-supplied, or press
ON/OFFto turn off the unit when power resumes.

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 7oC. Temp. difference of 3-5oC will remove your fatigue.

When unit is stopped, it won't restart

to protect the system.
When the electric plug is pulled out and
reinserted, the protection circuit will work
for 3 minutes to protect the air conditioner.
During unit operation or at stop, a swishing
or gurgling noise may be heard. At first 2-3
minutes after unit start, this noise is more
noticeable. (This noise is generated by
refrigerant flowing in the system.)
During unit operation, a cracking noise may
be heard. This noise is generated by the
casing expanding or shrinking because of
temperature changes
Should there be a big noise from air flow in
unit operation, air filter may be too dirty.
This is because the system circulates smells
from the interior air such as the smell of
furniture, cigarettes.
During COOL or DRY operation, indoor unit
may blow out mist. This is due to the sudden
cooling of indoor air.
Is power plug inserted?
Is there a power failure?
Is fuse blown out?
Is the air filter dirty? Normally it should be
cleaned every 15 days.
Are there any obstacles before inlet and outlet?
Is temperature set correctly?
Are there some doors or windows left open?
Is there any direct sunlight through the

Are there too much heat sources or too many
