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.
●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 the unit near a 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.

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
●Do not attempt to operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal
accident.
●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 place plants directly under the air ow as it is bad for the plants.
●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,
dew 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 generated in the room is above the cooling 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 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 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.

The Air Conditioner And The Heat Source In The Room
Not Operating For A Long Time
When Lightning Occurs
!
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 2.5W in the operation
control circuit even if it is in “OFF” mode.

UV-LED will be “ON” when any FUNCTION (operation) button is pressed. And UV-LED will be “OFF”
when STOP button is pressed. Light UV glare is visible when the UV-LED is “ON” and this is normal
(not malfunction).
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.
Warning
To protect the whole unit during lightning, please
stop operating the unit and remove the plug from
the socket.
Caution
To avoid noise interference, please place the indoor
