product.
When installing and moving the air condition-
er to another site, do not charge it with a
different refrigerant from the refrigerant
specified on the unit.
• If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the
original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may
malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
Do not reconstruct to change the settings of
the protection devices.
• If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other
protection device is shorted and operated
forcibly, or parts other than those specified by
LGE are used, fire or explosion may result.
Ventilate before operating air conditioner
when gas leaked out.
• It may cause explosion, fire, and burn.
Securely install the cover of control box and
the panel.
• If the cover and panel are not installed securely,
dust or water may enter the outdoor unit and fire
or electric shock may result.
If the air conditioner is installed in a small
room, measures must be taken to prevent the
refrigerant concentration from exceeding the
safety limit when the refrigerant leaks.
• Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate
measures to prevent the safety limit from being
exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause
the safety limit to be exceeded, harzards due to
lack of oxygen in the
room could result
Use a vacuum pump or inert(nitrogen) gas when
doing leakage test or air purge. Do not compress
air or Oxygen and do not use flammable gas es.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.
• There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explo-
sion.

Safety Precautions
Use power cables of sufficient current
carrying capacity and rating.
• Cables that are too small may leak, generate
heat, and cause a fire.
Do not use the product for special purposes,
such as preserving foods, works of art, etc. It
is a consumer air conditioner, not a precision
refrigeration system.
• There is risk of damage or loss of property.
Keep the unit away from children. The heat
exchanger is very sharp.
• It can cause the injury, such as cutting the finger.
Also the damaged fin may result in degradation
of capacity.
When installting the unit in a hospital, com-
munication station, or similar place, provide
sufficient protection against noise.
•
The inverter equipment, private power generator,
high-frequency medical equipment, or radio com-
munication equipment may cause the air condition-
er to operate erroneously, or fail to operate. On the
other hand, the air conditioner may affect such
equipment by creating noise that disturbs medical
treatment or image broadcasting.
Do not install the product where it is exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.
• It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins,
could cause product malfunction or inefficient operation.
■Operation
Do not use the air conditioner in special
environments.
• Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly
reduce the performance of the air conditioner or
damage its parts.
Do not block the inlet or outlet.
• It may cause failure of appliance or accident.
Make the connections securely so that the
outside force of the cable may not be applied
to the terminals.
• Inadequate connection and fastening may gen-
erate heat and cause a fire.
Be sure the installation area does not deteri-
orate with age.
• If the base collapses, the air conditioner could
fall with it, causing property damage, product
failure, or personal injury.

that water is drained away properly based on
the installation manual.
• A bad connection may cause water leakage.
Be very careful about product transportation.
• Only one person should not carry the product if it weighs
more than 20 kg.
• Some products use PP bands for packaging. Do not use any
PP bands for a means of transportation. It is dangerous.
• Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. Doing so may cut
your fingers.
• When transporting the outdoor unit, suspending it at the
specified positions on the unit base. Also support the out-
door unit at four points so that it cannot slip sideways.
Safely dispose of the packing materials.
•
Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or
wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries.
• Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags
so that children may not play with them. If children
play with a plastic bag which was not torn apart,
they face the risk of suffocation.
Turn on the power at least 6 hours before
starting operation.
• Starting operation immediately after turning on
the main power switch can result in severe
damage to internal parts. Keep the power switch
turned on during the operational season.
Do not touch any of the refrigerant piping
during and after operation.
• It can cause a burn or frostbite.
Do not operate the air conditioner with the
panels or guards removed.
• Rotating, hot, or high-voltage
parts can cause injuries.
Do not directly turn off the main power
switch after stopping operation.
• Wait at least 5 minutes before turning off the
main power switch. Otherwise it may result in
water leakage or other problems.
Auto-addressing should be done in condition of
connecting the power of all indoor and outdoour
units. Auto-addressing should also be done in
case of changing the indoor unit PCB.
Use a firm stool or ladder when cleaning or
maintaining the air conditioner.
• Be careful and avoid personal injury.
Do not insert hands or other objects through
the air inlet or outlet while the air conditioner
is plugged in.
• There are sharp and moving parts that could
cause personal injury.

1.3 Master and slave Unit's EEV control
(1) Main EEV control
Main EEV operates with fuzzy control rules to keep the degree of super Heat(Superheat) (about 3°C)at
the evaporator outlet stable during heating mode
The degree of Superheat = Tsuction - Tevaporation
Tsuction : temperature at suction pipe sensor(°C)
Tevaporation : evaporation temperature equivalent to low pressure(°C)
(2) Subcooling EEV control(about 15°C)
Subcooling EEV works with fuzzy rules to keep the degree of Subcool at the outlet of subcooler during
cooling mode
The degree of Subcool = Tcondensation - Tliquid
Tliquid : temperature at outlet of subcooler(°C)
Tcondensation : condensation temperature equivalent to high pressure(°C)
(3) Avoiding excessive high discharge temperature : when main EEV opens some given opening (R410A :
800 pls) and discharge temperature is above 85°C in heating operation, subcooling EEV may control
the "subcooling out temperature-evaporating temperature" to be some given difference.
(4) Vapor injection flow-rate control at heating mode
The degree of Superheat (VI_SH) = Subcooler out(℃) – Subcooler in(℃)
