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.
WARNING
PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION
●Do not reconstruct the unit.
Water leakage, fault, short circuit or fire may occur if you reconstruct
the unit by yourself.
●Please ask your sales agent or qualified technician for the installation
of your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fire 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 near location where there is flammable gas. The outdoor
unit may catch fire if flammable gas leaks around it.
●Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.

●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 fire 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 fire.
●Please contact your agent if you need to remove and reinstall the unit. Electric
shock or fire may occur if you remove and reinstall the unit yourself improperly.
●Do not insert a finger, 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.
Make sure to connect earth line.

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 insufficiency.
●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 fin and blocked the evaporation water flow
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, firm 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 deflector facing down or moving automatically for a long period of time,
water will condense on the air deflector 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.
●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 specification 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 flow as it is bad for the plants.
●This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm 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.

Adjustment of the conditioned air in the left and right directions.
●If the “(AUTO SWING)”button is pressed once,
the horizontal air deflector swings up and down. If the
button is pressed again, the deflector stops in its current
position. Several seconds (about 6 seconds) may be
required before the deflector starts to move.
●Use the horizontal air deflector within the adjusting range
shown on the right.
●When the operation is stopped, the horizontal air deflector
moves and stops at the position where the air outlet
closes.
Adjustment of the conditioned air in the upward and downward
directions.
The horizontal air deflector is automatically set to the proper
angle suitable for each operation. The deflector can be swung
up and down continuously and also set to the desired angle
using the “(AUTO SWING)”button.
●If the “(PARALLEL SWING)”button is pressed
once, the vertical air deflectors swing left and right to
parallel. If the button is pressed again, the deflectors
stop in their current position. Several second (about 6
seconds) may be required before the deflectors start to
move.
●If the “(SYMMETRY SWING) button is pressed
once, the vertical air deflectors swing left and right to
symmetry. If the button is pressed again, the deflectors
stop in their current position. Several seconds (about 6
seconds) may be required before the deflectors start to

Ventilation Effective Usage Of Timer
Do Not Forget To Clean The Air 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 “sleep 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 air filter will reduce the air volume and
the cooling efficiency. To prevent from wasting
electric energy, please clean the filter every 2
weeks.
Please pay attention to the room temperature
and air flow direction when operating the unit
for baby, children and old folks who have
difficulty in movement.
Caution
Do not close the room for a long period of
time. Occasionally open the door and windows
to allow the
entrance of
fresh air.

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.
