The operation panel of your unit will look like the following:
NOTE: The outline of the operation panel is based on
typical model, the function is the same with your
air conditioner while some difference may exist
in appearance.
Selector
The controls featured in this manual are representative
of many available models. Your model may offer slightly
different features.
Cool Mode
The desired cool setting is selected by rotating the knob to
the right to the appropriate location.
"HIGH"
– has maximum cooling effect and ai ow.
"LOW" – has minimum cooling effect and ai ow.
"OFF" – will completely shut off the unit.
"FAN" – Permits HIGH/MED/LOW fan speed operation without
cooling (heating).
Note: When selecting a fan speed, the compressor will not run.

Note: When turning the SELECTOR knob from "LOW"
to "HIGH", change as slowly as possible. Do not
change the operation mode between "LOW",
“MED”and "HIGH" too often.
Thermostat
To set the desired room temperature, rotate the thermostat
switch to the desired setting. After the set temperature is
achieved the thermostat will automatically start and stop the
compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature.
Rotate the thermostat selector clockwise for higher cool
settings. Higher cool settings will provide lower room
temperature. Rotate the thermostat selector counter
clockwise for lower cool settings. Lower cool settings will
provide higher room temperature.
The thermostat is used to set the desired room temperature
when the unit is being operated in the COOL MODE.
NOTE:
Adjusting the ai ow direction
Horizontal ai ow adjustment
For the units with AIR SWING feature (automatic):
When the AIR SWING switch is turned to ON position, the
vertical louvres automatically oscillate right and left sweeping
the cold air around to obtain comfortable cooling. The
vertical louvres may be stopped at any position when the AIR
SWING switch is turned OFF.
AUTO SWING
OFF ON
(On some models)
To adjust horizontal ai ow direction, move the lever gently
to the left or right by hand until the desired horizontal ai ow
direction is obtained.
To adjust vertical ai ow direction, adjust any one of the
horizontal louvre blades. When turning the horizontal
louvre blades up or down, always keep the top or
bottom blades horizontal. This can effectively prevent
water drops condensed on the front panel of the unit.
If the thermostat knob is set in the "more cold"
section and it is then adjusted to the "less cold"
section. Allow 3 minutes before readjusting back to
the "more cold”section. This will allow the pressures
within refrigeration system to stabilize before the
compressor resumes operation.

caution
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking
new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent
shock or fire hazards.
Air lter cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to
see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the lter
can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the
cooling coils.
•Hold the slot under the front panel, then uplift it
onwards, and remove the front panel.
•

•
warm water. Rinse lter thoroughly.
•
filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. Or, instead of
washing you may vacuum the lter clean.
Note: Never use hot water over 40oC(104 F) to clean the air
filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the
air filter.
Cabinet Cleaning
•Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock
or re hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with
an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in
a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing
detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
•Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the
cabinet front.
•Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before
wiping around the controls.
•Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
•Plug in air conditioner.
NOTE: Never use water over 50oC, alcohol, gasoline, acid,
solvent or brush to clean the front panel as this will
damage the surface of the part.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter,
remove it carefully from the window according to the
installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to
the original carton.
Care and cleaning

If the unit receives direct sunlight, build an awning to
shade the cabinet.
3 There should be no obstacle, such as a fence or wall,
within 50cm from the back of the cabinet because it will
prevent heat radiation of the condensor.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling
