Read Safety Precautions Before Operation and Installation
The seriousness of potential damage or injuries is classified as either a WARNING or CAUTION.
Incorrect installation due to ignoring instructions can cause serious damage or injury.
WARNING
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced
This appliance is not intended for use by persons(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be
made by children without supervision(European Union countries).
WARNINGS FOR PRODUCT USE
•฀
If an abnormal situation arises (like a burning smell), immediately turn off the unit and disconnect
the power. Call your dealer for instructions to avoid electric shock, fire or injury.
•฀
Do not
insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet or outlet. This may cause injury, since
the fan may be rotating at high speeds.
•฀
Do not
use flammable sprays such as hair spray, lacquer or paint near the unit. This may cause
fire or combustion.
•฀
Do not
operate the air conditioner in places near or around combustible gases. Emitted gas may
collect around the unit and cause explosion.
•฀
Do not
•฀•฀
Do not
expose your body directly to cool air for a prolonged period of time.
•฀•฀ If the air conditioner is used together with burners or other heating devices, thoroughly ventilate
the room to avoid oxygen deficiency.
Safety Precautions
Do not
allow children to play with the air conditioner. Children must be supervised around the
unit at all times.
operate your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Too
much exposure to water can cause electrical components to short circuit.
In certain functional environments, such as kitchens, server rooms, etc., the use of specially
designed air-conditioning units is highly recommended.
WARNING
This symbol indicates the possibility of
personnel injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates the possibility of
property damage or serious consequences.
Safety Precautions

Page 5 
•฀
Do not
clean the air conditioner with combustible cleaning agents. Combustible cleaning agents
can cause fire or deformation.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE WARNINGS
•฀ Turn off the device and disconnect the power before cleaning. Failure to do so can cause
electrical shock.
•฀
Do not
clean the air conditioner with excessive amounts of water.
CAUTION
•฀ Turn off the air conditioner and disconnect the power if you are not going to use it for a long time.
•฀ Turn off and unplug the unit during storms.
•฀ Make sure that water condensation can drain unhindered from the unit.
•฀Do not operate the air conditioner with wet hands. This may cause electric shock.
•฀Do not use device for any other purpose than its intended use.
•฀Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit.
•฀Do not allow the air conditioner to operate for long periods of time with doors or windows open,
or if the humidity is very high.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
•฀ Only use the specified power cord. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer , its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
•฀ Keep power plug clean. Remove any dust or grime that accumulates on or around the plug. Dirty
plugs can cause fire or electric shock.
•฀•฀
•฀•฀•฀•฀•฀
Do not pull power cord to unplug unit. Hold the plug firmly and pull it from the outlet. Pulling
directly on the cord can damage it, which can lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not modify the length of the power supply cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
Do not share the electrical outlet with other appliances. Improper or insufficient power supply
can cause fire or electrical shock.
If connecting power to fixed wiring, an all-pole disconnection device which has at least 3mm
clearances in all poles, and have a leakage current that may exceed 10mA, the residual current
device(RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA, and disconnection
must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
For all electrical work, follow all local and national wiring standards, regulations, and the
Installation Manual. Connect cables tightly, and clamp them securely to prevent external forces
from damaging the terminal. Improper electrical connections can overheat and cause fire, and may
also cause shock.
All electrical connections must be made according to the Electrical Connection
Diagram located on the panels of the indoor and outdoor units.
All wiring must be properly arranged to ensure that the control board cover can close properly. If
the control board cover is not closed properly, it can lead to corrosion and cause the connection
points on the terminal to heat up, catch fire, or cause electrical shock.
The product must be properly grounded at the time of installation, or electrical shock may occur.
TAKE NOTE OF FUSE SPECIFICATIONS
Safety Precautions
The air conditioner’s circuit board (PCB) is designed with a fuse to provide overcurrent protection.
The specifications of the fuse are printed on the circuit board ,such as :
T3.15AL/250VAC, T5AL/250VAC, T3.15A/250VAC, T5A/250VAC, T20A/250VAC, T30A/250VAC,etc.
NOTE: For the units using R32 , only the blast-proof ceramic fuse can be used.

Other Features
•฀Auto-Restart
If the unit loses power, it will automatically
restart with the prior settings once power has
been restored.
•฀Anti-mildew (some units)
When turning off the unit from COOL, AUTO
(COOL), or DRY modes, the air conditioner will
continue operate at very low power to dry up
condensed water and prevent mildew growth.
•฀Wireless Control
Wireless control allows you to control your air
conditioner using your mobile phone and a
wireless connection.
•฀Louver Angle Memory(some units)
When turning on your unit, the louver will
automatically resume its former angle.
•฀Refrigerant Leakage Detection(some units)
The SLEEP function is used to decrease
energy use while you sleep (and don’t
need the same temperature settings to
stay comfortable). This function can only
be activated via remote control. And the
Sleep function is not available in FAN or
DRY mode.
When in COOL mode, the unit will increase
the temperature by 1°C (2°F) after 1 hour,
and will increase an additional 1°C (2°F) after
another hour.
When in HEAT mode, the unit will decrease
the temperature by 1°C (2°F) after 1 hour,
and will decrease an additional 1°C (2°F)
after another hour.

The sleep feature will stop after 8 hours and
the system will keep running with final situation.
For multi-split air condtioners, the following
functions are not available:
Active clean function, Silence feature, Breeze
away function, Refrigerant leakage detection
function and Eco feature.
NOTE:
•฀Active Clean function(some units)
-- The Active Clean Technology washes away
dust, mold, and grease that may cause odors
when it adheres to the heat exchanger by
automatically freezing and then rapidly thawing
the frost. A “pi-pi” sound will be heard.
The Active clean operation is used to produce
more condensed water to improve the cleaning
effect, and the cold air will blow out. After
cleaning, the internal wind wheel then keeps
operating with hot air to blow-dry the evaporator,
thus preventing the growth of mold and keeping
the inside clean.
-- When this function is turned on, the indoor
unit display window appears “CL ” , after 20
to 45 minutes, the unit will turn off automatically
and cancel Active Clean function.
The indoor unit will automatically display “EL0C”
when it detects refrigerant leakage.
