TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air
conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions
below:
• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air con-
ditioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block
the air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

Honey comb Filter
<Honeycomb Filter>
<Plasmaster Ionizer>
<Plasmaster filter>
1By providing maximum space with mini-
mum material, honeycomb is the most effi-
cient design which creates maximum
filtration space while being stable and bal-
anced in structure.
2Common odor filter removes ordinary odors
that cause migraine and chronic fatigue.
3LG Virus & Allergy Safe Filter blocks neu-
ramidase and hemagglutinin, which is acti-
vated when the virus breaks up from host
cell to proliferate.
Plasmaster Ionizer
1Plasmaster ion particles sterilize the aerial
bacteria and other harmful substances.
2Plasmaster ion sterilize not only the air
going through the air conditioner, but all
surrounding harmful substances and even
odor.
Plasmaster filter
1Tiny dust particles are incinerated and
eliminated when captured by electric field.
2The plasma air purifying system can re-
duce microscopic contaminants and dust.
3This filter removes house mites, micro
dust, and pet fur in order to protect user
from allergy and asthma symptoms
