VENTILATION
The ventilation lever must be in the CLOSE position in order to maintain the best cooling conditions.
When fresh air is necessary in the room, set the ventilation lever to the OPEN position.
The damper is opened and room air is exhausted.
NOTE: Before using the ventilation feature, make
a ventilaiton kit. First, pull down part Ⓐ
to Ⓑhorizontal line with part Ⓑ.
The direction of air can be controlled whenever you want to cool by adjusting the horizontal louver
and the vertical louver.
•HORIZONTAL AIR DIRECTION CONTROL
The horizontal air direction is adjusted by
moving the vertical louver right or left.
•AUTO SWING MODELS
To control horizontal direction of air flow, set to
the (ON) position the air-swing switch and the
air flow will be swept horizontally by the

AIR FILTER CLEANING
The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped
particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling capacity and also
causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
1. Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bottom of the inlet grille.
2. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by pulling the air filter up slightly.
3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40°C(104°F).
4. Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely. Replace the filter.
HOW TO COMBINE FRONT GRILLE WITH CABINET
USE THE REVERSIBLE INLET GRILLE
1. Pull down front grille from the cabinet top.
2. Push front grille's tips toward the cabinet in
order to insert front grille's tabs into the
cabinet.
3. Open the inlet grille.
4. Tighten the screw through the front grille.
5. Close inlet grille.
1. If you want to pull out the filter upward, open the inlet grille
slightly.
Turn inside out the front grille.
Disassemble the inlet grille from the front grille with separating
the hinged part by inserting a "—" type screw-driver tip. Rotate
the inlet grille 180 degrees and insert the hooks into the lower
holes of front grille. Then, insert the filter.
2. If you want to pull out the filter downward, use the reversible
inlet grille without change.(The grille is already assembled for
that way.)

INSTALLATION
1. To avoid vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly.
2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly on the unit.
If the unit receives direct sunlight, build an awning to shade the cabinet.
3. There should be no obstacle, like a fence, within 50cm which might restrict heat radiation from the
condenser.
4. Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to leak the condensed water into the room (about
10mm)
5. Install the unit with its bottom portion 70-150cm above the floor level.
6. The power cord must be connected to an independent circuit. The green wire must be grounded.
7. Connect the drain tube to the base pan hole.
Plastic hose or equivalent may be connected to the drain tube.
NOTE
Before installing the Air Conditioner back into the case, remove the white styrofoam shipping block
from the compressor.

BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE
When you find something wrong with your room air conditioner, please check carefully referring to the
following items. If you can't find out the causes of trouble, get into contact with your dealer.
A. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER
CANNOT OPERATE;
1. Is the air conditioner plugged into the
receptacle properly?
2. Is there a local power failure?
Try another electrical product.
3. Has the air conditioner been accidentally
switched off?
4. Is the circuit overloaded by other devices on
the same line?
5. At cooling condition:
Is the thermostat set too high temperature
(the lowest number position of the pannel)
compared with the temperature of indoor?
B. AIR CONDITIONER RUNS, BUT
DOES NOT COOL SUFFICIENTLY;
1. Is the operation switch set properly?
2. Is the thermostat control set properly to
provide the desired temperature?
3. Are there too many people than the usual
number in the room?
4. Is the air circulation impeded by drapes,
furniture etc., or by an improper louver
setting?
5. Are the doors or windows open, or is there an
unusual heat source in the room?
6. Is the ventilation damper closed for maximum
cooling?
7. Is the filter clean so that it will not obstruct the
air flow?
HOW TO ATTACH DRAIN PAN
The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensate water (moisture removed
from the air) is drained to the outside.
In very humid weather, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) excessive condensate
water removed from the air may cause some water to collect. To remove this excess water you can
install the drain pan as detailed below.
1. Take the drain pan which is located in the air discharge
or on the barrier.
2. Remove the hole rubber from the base-pan(for some
models).
3. Install the drain pan to the left corner of the cabinet
with 4 (or 2) screws.
4. Connect the drain hose to the outlet located at the
bottom of the drain pan.
You can purchase the drain hose or tubing locally to
satisfy your particular needs.
(Drain hose is not supplied)
