SAFETY PRECAUTION
●
Please read the “Safety Precaution” carefully before operating the unit to ensure correct usage of the unit.
●
Pay special attention to signs of “ Warning” and “ Caution”. The “Warning” section contains matters which,
if not observed strictly, may cause death or serious injury. The “Caution” section contains matters which may
result in serious consequences if not observed properly. Please observe all instructions strictly to ensure safety.
●
The sign indicate the following meanings.
●
Please keep this manual after reading.
PRECAUTIONS DURING SHIFTING OR MAINTENANCE
●
Should abnormal situation arises (like burning smell), please stop operating the unit and turn off the
circuit breaker. Contact your agent. Fault, short circuit or re may occur if you continue to operate
the unit under abnormal situation.
●
Please contact your agent for maintenance. Improper self maintenance may cause electric
shock and re.
●
Please contact your agent if you need to remove and reinstall the unit. Electric shock or re
may occur if you remove and reinstall the unit yourself improperly.
●
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord obtainable at authorized
service/parts centers.
Make sure to connect earth line.
Indicates the instructions that must be followed.
The sign in the gure indicates prohibition.

G
!●
Do not insert a nger, a rod or other objects into the air outlet or inlet. As the fan is rotating at
a high speed, it will cause injury. Before cleaning, be sure to stop the operation and turn the
breaker OFF.
●
During thunder storm, disconnect and turn off the circuit breaker.
●
Do not use any conductor as fuse wire, this could cause fatal accident.
●
Spray cans and other combustibles should not be located within a meter of the air outlets
of both indoor and outdoor units.
As a spray can’s internal pressure can be increased by hot air, a rupture may result.
WARNING
PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION
●
Do not reconstruct the unit.
Water leakage, fault, short circuit or re may occur if you reconstruct the unit by yourself.
●
Please ask your sales agent or qualied technician for the installation of your unit. Water
leakage, short circuit or re may occur if you install the unit by yourself.
●
Please use earth line.
Do not place the earth line near water or gas pipes, lightning-conductor, or the earth
line of telephone. Improper installation of earth line may cause electric shock or re.
●
A circuit breaker should be installed depending on the mounting site of the unit. Without
a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.
●
Do not install near location where there is ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch
re if ammable gas leaks around it.
●
Please ensure smooth ow of water when installing the drain hose.
●
Do not install the indoor unit in a machine shop or kitchen where vapor from oil or its
mist ows to the indoor unit. The oil will deposit on the heat exchanger, thereby reducing
the indoor unit performance and may deform and in the worst case, breake the plastic
parts of the indoor unit.

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
●Do not attempt to operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal
accident.
●When operating the unit with burning equipments, regularly ventilate the
room to avoid oxygen insufciency.
●Do not direct the cool air coming out from the air-conditioner panel to face
household heating apparatus as this may affect the working of apparatus
such as the electric kettle, oven etc.
●Do not use any aerosol or hair sprays near the indoor unit. This chemical
can adhere on heat exchanger n and blocked the evaporation water ow
to drain pan. The water will drop on tangential fan and cause water splashing
out from indoor unit.
●Please ensure that outdoor mounting frame is always stable, rm and
without defect. If not, the outdoor unit may collapse and cause danger.
●Do not splash or direct water to the body of the unit when cleaning it as
this may cause short circuit.
●When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is always above
80%) and with the air deector facing down or moving automatically for a long period of time,
water will condense on the air deector and drips down occasionally. This will wet your furniture.
Therefore, do not operate under such condition for a long time.
●If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling or heating capability of the unit (for
example: more people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.), the preset room
temperature cannot be achieved.
● This appliance is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
●Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
●Do not climb on the outdoor unit or put objects on it.
●Please switch off the unit and turn off the circuit breaker during cleaning,
the high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.
●Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not to be operated for a long period.

!
●The product shall be operated under the manufacturer specication and
not for any other intended use.
●Do not put water container (like vase) on the indoor unit to avoid water
dripping into the unit. Dripping water will damage the insulator inside the
unit and causes short-circuit.
●Do not place plants directly under the air ow as it is bad for the plants.

Hold the vertical air deector as shown in the gure and adjust
the conditioned air to the left and right.
●If the “ (AUTO SWING)” button is pressed once,
the horizontal air deector swings up and down. If the
button is pressed again, the deector stops in its current
position. Several seconds (about 6 seconds) may be
required before the deector starts to move.
●Use the horizontal air deector within the adjusting range
shown on the right.
●When the operation is stopped, the horizontal air deector
moves and stops at the position where the air outlet
closes.
!
CAUTION
●In “Cooling” operation, do not keep the horizontal air
deector swinging for a long time. Some dew may form
on the horizontal air deector and dew may drop.
Adjustment of the conditioned air in the upward and downward
directions.
The horizontal air deector is automatically set to the proper
angle suitable for each operation. The deector can be swung

Ventilation Effective Usage Of Timer
Do Not Forget To Clean The Pre-Filter Please Adjust Suitable Temperature
For Baby And Children
Warning
Freezing temperature
is bad for health and a
waste of electric power.
!
It is possible
to reduce heat
entering the
room through
windows.
At night, please use the “OFF or ON timer
operation mode”, together with your wake up
time in the morning. This will enable you to
enjoy a comfortable room temperature. Please
use the timer effectively.
Dusty pre-lter will reduce the air volume and
the cooling efciency. To prevent from wasting
electric energy, please clean the lter every
2 weeks.
Please pay attention to the room temperature
and air ow direction when operating the unit
for baby, children and old folks who have
difculty in movement.
Caution
Do not close the room for a long period of
time. Occasionally open the door and windows

FOR USER’S INFORMATION
The Air Conditioner And The Heat Source In The Room
Not Operating For A Long Time
When Lightning Occurs
Caution
If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling
capability of the air conditioner (for example: more
people entering the room, using heating equipments
and etc.), the preset room temperature cannot be
achieved.
!
When the indoor unit is not to be used for a long
period of time, please switch off the power from the
mains. If the power from mains remains “ON”, the
indoor unit still consumes about 8W in the operation
control circuit even if it is in “OFF” mode.
Warning
To protect the whole unit during lightning, please
stop operating the unit and remove the plug from
the socket.
!
Interference From Electrical Products
Caution
To avoid noise interference, please place the indoor
unit and its remote controller at least 1m away from

operation and switch off the power supply.
1. PRE-FILTER
Clean the pre-lter, as it removes dust inside the room. In case the pre-lter is full of dust, the air
ow will decrease and the cooling capacity will be reduced. Further, noise may occur. Be sure to
clean the lter following the procedure below.
