Safety instructions
WARNING
warning
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to
clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not store the appliance in a room with continuously
operating ignition sources (for example open flames, an
operating electric heater or an operating gas appliance with a
continuously lit pilot flame).
• Do not pierce or burn any part of the air conditioner.
• Be aware that the refrigerant is odourless and any gas leak is
not detectable by smell.
• Ensure the unit is properly connected to the power. Excess
heat generation caused by incorrect connection may result in
an electric shock or fire.
• Do not operate or stop the unit by switching on or off at the
power source. This may cause an electric shock or fire due to
excess heat generation.
• Do not operate with wet hands or in damp environment. This
may cause an electric shock.
• Always ensure that the unit is correctly earthed.
No earthing may cause electric shock.
• Do not allow water to run into electric parts. It may cause
failure of the unit or electric shock.
• Use a correctly rated circuit breaker or fuse. There is risk of fire
or electric shock.
• Disconnect the power if strange sounds, smells,
or smoke come from the unit. It may cause fire and
electric shock.
• Do not drink water drained from the air conditioner. It may
contain contaminants that could make you sick.
• Do not open the unit during operation. It may cause
electric shock.
• Ventilate room before operating the air conditioner if there has
been or may have been a flammable gas leak from another
appliance. It may cause an explosion, fire and burns.
• Do not disassemble or modify unit. It may cause failure and
electric shock.
• When the air filter is to be removed, do not touch the metal
parts of the unit. It may cause an injury.
• Do not clean the air conditioner with water. Water may
enter the unit and degrade the insulation. It may cause
an electric shock.
• Ventilate the room well when used together with a stove
or other combustion heating device. An oxygen shortage
may occur.
• Exposure of direct airflow to occupants, pets or plants for an
extended period of time could be a health hazard.

When selected, the set temperature will increase (cooling) or

Sleep function saves energy and improves night time by optimising
sleeping temperature.
Refrigerant leakage detection
When refrigerant leakage is detected, the indoor unit will display
EC code.
Louvre angle memory function
Within the scope of safety angle, the horizontal louver angle is
memorised and will return to the position last selected by user. If it
exceeds, it will memorize the boundary of safety angle. This will not
happen when Turbo or manual control buttons are pressed or after
a power interruption. So we strongly suggest that the open angle
of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, in case the
condensed water forms and drips from the horizontal louver.
SELF CLEAN function
• Airborne bacteria use the moisture on the indoor heat
exchanger to grow. Regular drying of the exchanger prevents
this growth. By simply pressing the SELF CLEAN button, the
system will automatically manage the process. This cleaning
action may be done as frequently as desired.
• For cooling models, only the indoor fan is active in low speed
for 30 minutes and the unit turns off automatically.
• For cooling & heating models, the unit will operate as in the
following sequence : FAN mode at Low fan speed--Heating
operation with LOW fan speed ---FAN operation--Stop
Operation---Turn off.
NOTE:
• Activating self clean function does not replace the need to
clean the filters. The filters must be cleaned at least every
3 months, or as required to maintain good cleanliness and
performance of this air conditioner.
• This function is only activated in COOLING or DRY mode.
• Before activation the air conditioner, it is recommended
to run the air conditioner under cooling operation for about
30 minutes.
• Pressing the SELF CLEAN or ON/OFF button again during the
cleaning cycle will cancel the operation and turn the unit off.
Auto-restart function
In event of power interruption such as a blackout, the air
conditioner stops once. But it restarts automatically and performs
previous operation when the power supply is resumed.
Mute operation
Press the LED button on the remote controller can turn off the
indoor screen display, and also turn off the Air conditioner buzzer,
which create a comfortable and quiet environment.
Special functions

WARNING
caution
• Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods with the
air flow direction set downward in cooling or dehumidifying
mode. Otherwise, condensation may occur on the surface of
the horizontal louver causing moisture to drop on to the floor
or on furnishings.
• After a quick restart, the horizontal louver may remain static for
approximately 10 seconds.
• Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too
small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may be reduced
due to too restricted air flow area.
• Do not move the vertical (up/down) louver manually, otherwise
the vertical louver will be out of sync. But if this happens,
please cease operating, switch off power for a few seconds,
then restart the air conditioner.
Optimal operation
To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:
• Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not towards
people.
• Adjust the temperature to achieve moderate comfort levels.
Excessively low or high temperature waste energy.
• Improve performance by keeping windows and doors closed.
• Limit energy usage (run time) by using the TIMER function.
• Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the
efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced and may
cause the air conditioner to stop running.
• Inspect and clean the filters every 3 months or as required.
Ensure that the filters are correctly inserted after cleaning.
The direction of airflow can be adjusted for maximum comfort.
Adjusting vertical air flow (Up/Down)
The vertical airflow direction is controlled by using the remote
control. This can be set to a fixed direction or to automatically
swing up and down for even air distribution. Refer to Remote
Control section page 9 for operation details .
Adjusting horizontal air flow (Left/Right)
• The airflow can be directed horizontally (left to right) by
manually adjusting the deflector rod.
TIPS & INFORMATION

and the humidity is high (over 80%) , condensed water may
drip out of the unit. Please set the vertical air flow louvre to
its maximum angle (vertically to the floor), and set HIGH fan

circuit is working for about 3 minutes after sudden OFF/ON operation of the power
supply, this is normal operation and designed to protect the compressor.
Fan speed changes from off, to very slow and
then normal
Automatically happens in heating mode :
• prevents cold air blowing onto occupants when the heating operation is start,
• perform automatic defrosting operation,
• perform low temperature heating operation
Heating operation stops suddenly and
defrost-light blinks
In HEAT mode, the indoor unit temporarily stops for maximum of 10 minutes to perform
the automatic defrosting operation.
Mist coming out of the indoor unit In COOL mode, a mist generated by condensation formed with sudden cooling process
may be emitted.
Mist may generate due to moisture generated from defrosting process when the air
conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting
Low volume sounds are emitted by the air
conditioner
Hissing sound-- during operation or immediately after stopping the air conditioner,
refrigerant flowing sound may be head.
Squeaking sound-- normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused
by temperature change during the operation.
Rushing air-- when louver resets its position.
Dust discharges from the unit May occur when air conditioner is used for the first time or has not been used for a long
time.
