than permitted can cause fire.
Do not expose your body directly to the cool
air for prolonged period.
Never poke fingers, sticks or other objects
in the air inlet and outlet vents.
Never attempt to repair, relocate, modify the
air conditioner yourself. Always contact your
service partner if it requires.
Never pull the plug out by pulling on the
cable. Hold the plug firmly and pull it out of
the plug socket, otherwise there is a risk of
damaging the cable.
Do not operate your air conditioner in a wet
room such as a bathroom or laundry room.
Remove all dirt from the power plug and
plug it firmly. Soiled plugs can cause fire
or an electric shock.
In the event of any abnormalities such
as smell of burning, immediately swithch
off the device and pull the plug. Contact
your service partner.

WARNING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3
Never actuate any switches with a wet
hand. It may cause an electric shock.
Never use the device for any other
purpose than the intended use. Never
place food, precision instruments, plants,
animals, paint, etc. on the unit.
Do not expose plants or animals directly
to the air flow.
Never clean the air conditioner with water.
Never use combustible cleaning agents
as these could cause a fire or deformation.
Never place any burning objects close to
the device if they could be directly affected
by the emitted air.
Never step onto the outdoor device and
never place anything on it.
Never use an unsteady or rusty base.
Never install the air conditioner in places
where combustible gas can be emitted.
Emmitted gas may collect and cause an
explosion.
Never allow the air conditioner to run for
too long with the doors or windows open,
or if the humidity is very high.
If the air conditioner is to be used in
conjunction with other heaters, the air
should be refreshed periodically, otherwise
there is a risk of lack of oxygen.
Always pull out the power plug if the unit
is not going to be used for any lengthy
period of time. Collections of dust can
cause fire.
Always switch off the air conditioner and
pull out the power plug during a storm.
Electrical parts may get damaged.
Check that the drainage line is correctly
connected. If not, water will escape.
Check that the condensation water can
run off unhindered. It may cause water
damage if the condensation water cannot
run off properly.
The air conditoner must be earthed in
accordance with the local codes.
For electrical safety purposes we
recommend that you install an earth-
leakage circuit-breaker.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similary qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.

Special functions
Improving the quality of indoor air is one of the purposes of an air conditioner. This air
conditioner is equipped with ionizer or Plasma Dust Collector(Depending on specific
configuration of the model). With the anions generated by Ionizer, the air circulation
of the air conditioner fills the room with refreshing, natural and healthy air. The Plasma
Dust Collector generates a high voltage ionization zone, through which the air is
converted to plasma. Inside the air most of the dust, smoke, and pollen particles are
captured by the electrostatic filter.
CLEAN AIR function(on some models)
Function used after the shut down of cooling operation to clean the Evaporator
,it keeps the air fresh for the next operation.
For cooling models, the unit will operate under FAN ONLY mode
at LOW fan speed for half an hour, and then turn off automatically.
For cooling & heating models, the unit will operate as in the below sequence :
FAN ONLY mode at Low fan speed--Heating operation with LOW fan speed
---FAN ONLY operation--Stop Operation---Turn off.
Note:
This function is only available under COOL(AUTO COOL, FORCED COOL) and
DRY mode.
Before selecting the function, it is recommended to run the air conditioner under
cooling operation for about half an hour. Once the Self Clean function is activated,
all TIMER setting will be cancelled.
During SELF CLEAN operation, when pressing the SELF CLEAN button on the remote
controller again,the unit will stop the operation and turn off the unit automatically.
SELF CLEAN function(Optional)
Refrigerant Leakage Detection
With this new technology, the dipsplay area will appear EC and the indication lamps
continue flashing when the outdoor unit detects refrigerant leakage.
Anti-mildew function(Optional)
When turns off the unit on COOL, DRY, AUTO (Cool) mode, the air conditioner will continue
operating for about 10 minutes (depending on models) with soft wind.This will help to
dry up the condensed water inside the evaporator, and prevent the breeding of mildew.
Under Anti-mildew operation, do not restart the air conditioner until the unit iscompletely off.
,
,
Louver Angle Memory Function(optional):
Within the scope of safety angle, it will memorize the open angle of horizontal louver.
If it exceeds, it will memorize the boundry of safety angle. In the following
circumstances, it will return to standard angle: 1) pressing the turbo or manual control
button, 2)unplug and then plug in the machine. 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
drops from the horizontal louver.

Airflow direction control Adjust the air flow direction properly, otherwise it might
cause discomfort or cause uneven room temperatures.
Adjust the horizontal louver using the remote controller.
Adjust the vertical louver manually or using the remote
controller(depending on models).
To set the vertical air flow(Up--Down) direction
Perform this function while the unit is in operation.
Use the remote controller to adjust the air flow
direction. The horizontal louver can be moved at
O
a range of 6 for each press, or swing up and down
automatically. Please refer to the REMOTE
CONTROLLER OPERATION MANUAL for details.
To set the horizontal air flow direction (left - right)
Move the deflector rod manually to adjust the air flow
in the direction you prefer.
IMPORTANT:Do not put your fingers into the panel of
blower and suction side.The high-speed fan inside may
cause danger.
For some models, the vertical louver can be adjusted
by using the remote controller. Please refer to the
REMOTE CONTROLLER OPERATION MANUAL
for details.

Deflector rod
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.
When the air conditioner is started immediately after it
was stopped, the horizontal louver might not move for
approximately 10 seconds.
Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set
too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may
be impaired due to too restricted air flow area.
Do not move the horizontal louver manually, otherwise
the horizontal louver will be out of sync. Please cease
operating, unplug power for a few seconds,then restart
the air conditioner.
CAUTION
NOTE:
Best working conditions(the energy efficiency can be
affected if not set under these conditions):
The best angle of louvers is the default angle of cooling
mode
The best way of setting the angle of louvers at heating
mode is: run the unit for 5 minutes and then use the
remote controller to set the louvers at the default angle
of cooling mode.
